Questions and Answers

In this FAQ section, you’ll find specific information and answers about ponds. If you can’t find what you’re looking for here, feel free to check out our blog or fill out our contact form - we’d be happy to help.

Can Pond Clear be used even when there are fish in the pond? Yes, Pond Clear can be used even when there are fish in the pond. Do not begin working on the pond until the water temperature reaches at least 10 °C, when the fish are active. Do not feed the fish until the temperature is consistently 12 °C, as the fish cannot digest the food when it is cold. Uneaten food sinks to the bottom, rots, and promotes algae growth as well as fish diseases. The use of Effective Microorganisms promotes the health of the fish and the biological balance in the pond.

Depending on the size of your pond, it will have more or less of a need. You can use our calculator to determine the specific needs of your pond.

Treatment can be performed at any time. Especially in the spring and fall, you should prepare your pond for summer and winter, respectively.

Pond treatment can be performed when the water temperature reaches 5°C or higher.

Yes, performing fall maintenance after your final care steps will help strengthen your pond for the cold season.

Yes, the UV lamp should remain turned off for the duration of the treatment.

Regular cleaning of the filter is essential to ensure good water quality.

Aquatic plants help maintain a stable balance in the water. They absorb nutrients from the water that would otherwise be available to algae. They absorb the most nutrients from the water during their growth phase in the spring and summer. In the fall, however, you should prune them back thoroughly so that dead plant material does not begin to rot and release the stored nutrients back into the water. This allows the plants to grow healthily again in the spring.

A natural pool usually does not contain any plants. Therefore, you should use Pond Clear only in very small amounts. 1 liter per cubic meter of pond water is more than enough. You can also improve water quality by using EM Ceramics.

Only EM Ceramic should be used in the pool.

The “Spring Checkup” for your pond

Before you begin treatment, thorough preparation is crucial for success:
 

  • Remove biomass: Remove leaves and dead aquatic plants. Otherwise, they will decompose in the water and release nutrients that feed algae.
  • Plant care: Trim aquatic plants to stimulate growth. Areas where plants have died can now be replanted.
  • Filters & Sediment: If necessary, check the pond edges for any winter damage, vacuum out old sediment, and clean your filter system.

Optimise the care of your natural pond

Natural ponds often suffer from intensive algae infestation and sludge formation. This is sometimes due to an excessively high nutrient content in the water and can be dangerous for the health of the pond. To counteract this, it is best to mix our pond care products Pond Clear and eMB Starter together and apply the mixture once or twice a year, depending on the thickness of the sludge.

Our application recommendation:

For 100m2:
1 litre of Pond Clear
0.1 litre of eMB Starter

For 1000m2:
10 litres of Pond Clear
1 litre eMB Starter

Clear, healthy water in the foil pond

To keep the water in foil ponds and biotopes clear in the long term, it is also best to use Effective Microorganisms. These bring the natural cycles into balance and thus reduce algae formation and water pollution. We especially recommend a combination of our products Pond Clear, EM Ceramic Powder and Zeobas ultrafine.

Further tips for a clear view in your pond

EM pond care from Multikraft helps you to get to grips with problematic organisms such as algae or sludge. However, it is important that you also pay attention to a few other disruptive factors to prevent the water from tipping over. For example, fish the leaves out of the pond in autumn. This accumulates at the bottom and turns into sludge. It is also important to trim the pond plants, as they remove too many nutrients from the pond if they grow too large. If possible, your pond should not be exposed to the sun all day. It should also not be surrounded by bushes or other plants. This can also pollute your pond.
