Pond Rescue Consultation

01Project Introduction

A beautiful swimming pond with a persistent algae problem the installer couldn't solve. One site visit, a full system analysis, and a phased plan the owners could implement themselves.

04Design Strategy

The regeneration zone was undersized and starved of flow. The plan rebalanced circulation, tripled the planted filter area and swapped sterile gravel for a living substrate.

08Result

Clear water by the following summer, without chemicals and without rebuilding the pond.
