Why Your Pond Keeps Turning Green

If you are fighting the same green water every few weeks, the problem is not the algae. It is what is feeding it.

Algae is a symptom

Green water and string algae are what you see, but they are the result of an imbalance, not the cause. Excess nutrients, too much sun, weak filtration, or overfeeding all push a pond toward algae.

Chasing it never works

Pouring in treatment after treatment clears the water for a little while, then it comes right back. That is because the underlying conditions never changed.

Fix the system, not the water

The lasting fix is to correct the balance, dial in the filtration, manage nutrients, and set up the pond so algae has nothing to thrive on. That is the difference between a quick fix and clear water that stays clear.
