How do you maintain an outdoor pond?

Answer by  PondScum (6)

I maintain my outdoor pond by first making sure it is free of trash and manmade debris. You have to make sure the water feeding the pond is clean and flowing otherwise the pond will stagnate. No chlorine is needed for a healthy pond.

Chlorine is not needed to maintain an outdoor pond. The best methods to keep algae from overtaking your outdoor pond is to utilize floating plants, add new water to your pond, and to install a pond filtering system. Keeping the filter system clean and unclogged will help deter algae growth.
