Pond Cleaning Supplies

Cleaning your pond annually can make a big difference in how easy it is to maintain your pond through the year. Read our post here to see if your pond needs a cleaning.

Watch the video above for the steps to cleaning your pond.

And check this list here for all the supplies used in our cleaning:

• 5 gallon buckets (2 or 3 are handy to have)
• 100 - 150 gallon tub for fish -- we like the large Rubbermaid tubs you can get at many farm supply stores
• Netting to cover the fish tub
• Fish net to catch your fish and remove debris 
• Aerator for fish tub -- move your existing aerator to your fish tub if you have one
• Garden hose
• High pressure nozzle for your garden hose
• Cleanout pump -- you can use whatever pump you have on hand. It's very useful to have a pump with an intake on the bottom of the pump that doesn't clog easily. The pumps we use professionally are a high-volume solids-handling pump. 
• Cleanout pump tubing
• Scissors
• Supplies to repot your water lilies -- watch our video here for water lily repotting instructions
• Dechlorinator
• AlgaeOff
• BioClear and Clean (or Spring and Fall Prep, temperature depending)
• Remove Away Plus

Check out our Pond Cleaning Kit too for the water treatments you need for your cleaning.
