How I Treat Algae In A Large Pond

How do I treat algae in a large pond? On any given day I'll get this question at least a handful of times (and often more) so this is a very basic summary of what I would tell someone when they contact me.

I shot this over lunch on my backyard deck so you'll hear a lot of birds chattering about. It's a relaxing place to take a break but it has it's share of feathered distractions! Bear with me and my bird friends as we go through this.

The idea is very basic. Algae is not the problem, but a symptom of the problem...which is high or excessive nutrients in the water. These drivers of algae are what we target with this eco-friendly approach.

In my mind you have to start by considering aeration. If it's present, you move on to beneficial microbes. If you don't have it, it's worthy of more investigation. Typically though, one of these two things, either alone or in combination, will help in many instances.

For really large ponds and lakes, where microbes or chemicals may be more cost prohibitive, we might consider ultrasound to control the algae.

And finally, if we still need a bit more help to bring the algae under control, we might consider an algaecide of some sort.
