First Time Cleaning For Your Water Feature?

It isn't just a pond that you clean, but a tourist attraction in your backyard.

Cleaning a pond may be the end goal, but think about the real benefit. Making your backyard a place you can enjoy all year round. Imagine how it feels to sit by your pond. Is it exciting? Do you feel frustrated? Any experience other than bliss may not be worthwhile. Especially if you love to spend time outside.

How Often Should You Clean Your Pond?

Cleaning your water feature is similar to cleaning your house. When you maintain your house regularly, you probably won't need to do a major deep clean every year, right?


But if you let dust accumulate, let dishes gather on the counter, and don't use the vacuum, chances are two deep cleanings a year won't be enough!


Ponds should be cleaned if there is a thick layer of debris on the bottom. Usually this occurs every year or every two years. A cleaning every three to four years is sufficient for waterfalls without ponds.
