4. Planting: Plants absorb nutrients – consequently<br />

trim your plants before they store their<br />

nutrients in the pond near the end of the vegetation<br />

period.<br />

5. <strong>Water</strong> quality: Have your pond water analysed<br />

on a regular basis, so that you can react<br />

as quickly as possible to changes in the water<br />

values. The <strong>Water</strong> Test LM from OASE is<br />

extremely well-suited for this purpose. For<br />

example high phosphate content is a nutrient<br />

medium for string algae and can be reduced<br />

through the use of PhosLess LM.<br />

6. Edges/seal: Always ensure that the capillary<br />

barrier is intact, particularly with regard to<br />

plants that can grow over it. In addition indirect<br />

nutrient sources such as rain water represent a<br />

burden for the pond system. Surface water or runoff<br />

water absorbs the nutrients and carries them<br />

into the pond.<br />

7. Snails and waterfowl: Always keep snails and<br />

waterfowl away from the swimpond, as they feed<br />

on plants and insects that play an important role<br />

in the nutrient cycle. In addition snails and waterfowl<br />

stress the pond through excrement. Different<br />

pathogens can be introduced into the pond<br />

in this manner, for example cercarien that can<br />

trigger an unpleasant skin rash on humans.<br />
