Easy Trick For A Sparkling Clean Pond

If you have struggled to keep the water in your little pond sparkling clear, this may be the trick you've been looking for. I have tried this on several different garden ponds, ranging in size from 450 to 1200 gallons, and it has worked every time. Murky water clears within a day or two (most clear within hours), and then stays clear for months.

For more details and other pond and garden ideas, visit me at http://www.empressofdirt.net

    You need polyester quilt batting (used for making bed quilts).
  • Like Clip
    Get a wire basket (this is a garbage basket from the dollar store). It has to be bigger than your pond pump.
  • Like Clip
    Cut out the quilt batting and wrap it around the outside of the wire basket.

    Insert the pond pump.

    Secure the batting in place with a bungee cord. Submerge the entire unit in the pond.

    The quilt batting on the outside of the basket filters the water before it goes through the pump.

    Yay! I am so happy to read this and learn this trick. Both my mom and my son have ponds with the most beautiful koi and you can never see them.
