Cleaning the Pond

I put a great deal of effort into the display pond at the house this weekend between rain showers. I cleaned the filters and pumps numerous times......I did a partial water change which ended up more than I had intended. I added Algae fix (algae killer) yesterday to help with the algae and I added Accu Clear (a floculent to clump the dead algae ) today. It looks better and is getting there, but there are no easy answers when we have neglected our ponds over the winter. Pond care is a year around task, though lighter in the winter short of getting the leaves out which can be a daily task in the fall.
Today I also added salt to the pond, and tomorrrow after I clean the filters again I will add Eco Fix (beneficial Bacteria to eat up the nutrients the the algae lives on).
