Natural Algae Control and Pond Weed Prevention: How Pond Aerators and Pond Aeration Naturally Restore Ecosystems
Remember that algae control and pond weed reduction in your lake works best by eliminating the cause, or the algae bloom first. Without doing this, the algae will rapidly return. The best method of algae control is to safely reduce the overabundance of water nutrients with pond aeration and pond aerator installation.
When chemicals such as phosphorous or nitrogen enter a pond, this increase of chemicals is known as "eutrophication". When eutrophication (or an increase of nutrients) occur in a naturally stagnant aquatic ecosystem, an algal bloom will occur. (A species of algae will experience a rapid population growth in a short period of time). These algal blooms are harmful in that they reduce the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water body; if these levels drop dangerously low, fish, marine animals, and naturally occurring water plants will suffer. For these reasons, it's necessary to consider algae control options.
"Dead zones" refer to areas in lakes, ponds, or other bodies of water lacking a significant amount of oxygen. These zones, caused by harmful algal blooms, are harmful to aquatic life and sometimes even humans. In some cases, water bodies become toxic in that anaerobic bacteria thrive and produce toxins.
Let's examine other algae control options and alternatives to pond aeration. Alum is one method of controlling excess pond weeds and algae, but aluminum hydroxide can interfere with fish reproduction and take a toll on the populations of good bacteria that are naturally occurring in lakes and ponds. These organisms feed on lake and pond muck. Algaecides are another method of algae control and pond weed reduction, but they're ineffective at improving the health and growth of aquatic life, nor do they control buildup of lake or pond sediment. Excessive usage of algaecides can take a toll on fish health and be more harmful than beneficial—these chemicals also interfere with fish reproduction. Additionally, copper compounds found in algaecides create toxic lake sediment.
When oxygen is reduced in a lake, pond, or other aquatic environment, the population of aquatic life suffers. Don't attempt to control an algal bloom without eliminating the cause. Your best bet for controlling pond weeds and algae naturally is to reduce the overabundance of pond nutrients with water aerators, helping the naturally occurring beneficial enzymes and bacteria control algae. Pond aerators and pond aeration is an effective and long term way to control and remove algae naturally.
Pond aeration and pond aerators control algae in a natural process, contributing to a healthier pond, based on the principle that ponds are self-cleaning and can restore their health naturally. Chemical and nutrient runoff can overwhelm the delicate balance of a pond ecosystem and create overgrowth of pond weeds and algae. Pond aeration and pond aerators are a natural way to restore natural water processes, accelerating a pond's natural ecosystem to keep up with today's pollutants. Learn more how to naturally control algae, reduce pond weeds, and clean up your lake safely with pond aerators and pond aeration.

How can I control algae with a pond that has direct sun all day?
My pond is 12' x 12' It gets direct sun light all day, no shade. I need to know a way to control algae in the pond with all the sun it recieves.
Cover 1/2 the surface with floating plants and add 1 bunch of submerged vegetation per square foot of pond surface. That balances the pond ecologically and your algae will disappear.
Here's an article I wrote about how to keep your pond clear.

If you have a pond with no plants or fish, use swimming pool chemicals to keep it clear.
