How Do I Get Rid Of Foam On My Pond?

One of the easiest ways to reduce foam in your koi pond is to skim the surface often with a surface skimmer. You can use a net to remove floating debris, foam, or scum from the water. This will help cut down on foam and keep your pond cleaner. If foam is caused by bad water quality, you might want to change some water. Try replacing up to 25% of your pond’s water with fresh water. This action will lower extra nutrients in the water, making it better overall. Helpful bacteria can reduce foam by breaking down waste in your pond. You can buy bacterial supplements made for koi ponds. We suggest using Evolution Aqua Pure Pond. These supplements will help grow a strong bacteria population in your pond, which will lower foam and improve water quality. If foam is caused by algae blooms, using an algaecide might be a good choice. We recommend using MICROBE-LIFT Natural Algae Control. This product helps get rid of extra algae that can cause foam. Foam often appears when your koi pond lacks proper aeration. To fix this, think about buying an air pump. An air pump adds oxygen to the water. This can lessen foam, enhance water quality, and create a better environment for your koi fish.
