Hi All, My friend's Mum has a garden pond "Her husband has past away a couple of months ago " A sad loss. My friend & Mum have no idea about how to run it " That's where i come in " The pond has been running for 20-25 years the main pond is 4ft deep 8 ft x 8 ft With carp tench goldfish quiet a few but happy Ho and some lily pads but no other plants Well what looks like short hair algae around the sides walls of the ponds The top pond is about 4ft x 4ft 6" deep and no fish. There are 2 pumps 1 pump just takes water from the larger pond and pumps it into the top pond. Pump 2 takes water from the larger pond up into a shed through a UV filter then into a large plastic water tank 200 Lt or so with sponge filter pads then returns the water to the top pond water from both pumps then flow over a water fall about a 1ft drop back into the larger pond All sounds good But they have lots of blanket weed which blocks the pumps in a few weeks I have taken out as much as i can from both ponds Looks clean and tidy and cleaned the filters pumps out and the UV light is in date only just been replaced But the blanket weed keeps coming back in a few weeks ?? Help needed from you clever people how the hell do you get rid of this stuff
Thanks in advance for any advice from my Friend & Mum And Me
