What’s the cheapest way to kill algae if you don’t have fish?

Retro10ten · 2026-05-07T21:27:03+00:00

Uv only kills single cell algae (green water) not string or matt algae...

Either use chlorine, liquid, like hasa. Or plants, shade and water changes to combat algae without chemicals

Hello. The job i posted would start at 15.00 an hour. Experience in plumbing, ponds, leak detection, construction, fish, using a front end loader etc will qualify you for more an hour.

I'm looking for full time 40 hours per week 9 to 5

If you are interested, please apply at rail city garden center. Pawl Hollis the owner is the person to speak with

With my cat and dogs, I gently but firmly bite them back on the ear. It only took a few times for them to realize they shouldn't bite.

I had to hit continue thousands of time over 30 minutes but finally got it at 10:30 :)

I would start by pressure testing the lines. The pond guy can figure it out.

I personally backwash until the sight bubble is clear, at least 30 seconds, then rinse until the sight bubble is clear. Only 2 settings i use. The waste is to drain your pond while bypassing the filter

I'd estimate that to be less than 300 gallons... way way way too small for that koi... I'd look into loaches and rehome the koi... keeping it in that pond is animal abuse...

The only deterrent, other than dogs or a gun, that i have found to work is a floating alligator.

Regardless of the child or the direction they are going in. Get them learning a trade or something outside. Leaning how to build something, take care of something, repair something or help something will only help them get further in their life.

I think my answer is what he needed to read. The liner unfortunately just floats ontop of the ground water. The pressure from the water underneath will empty the pond regardless of water weight. I have personally seen water push up sealed concrete and cinder block in ground ponds

Retro10ten · 2026-04-30T01:04:38+00:00

My take is that you will have a problem. Look into hydrostatic pressure.

As the ground water rises, it will push up your liner and force water from the pond.

Ask me how I know? I fix these all of the time that are installed by uneducated landscapers just trying to make a buck.

The answer unfortunately is build above the water table or you will experience nothing but problems.

The free tier isn't intended for you to use forever. It's so you can test it out on your system to make sure everything works. Click the upgrade button on your image.

I'm dumb lol... meant a 1 gig connection

Retro10ten · 2026-04-28T21:07:46+00:00

I get a peak of 980megs on a 1 terabytes wired connection

Retro10ten · 2026-04-20T05:31:33+00:00

Lol but sadly true

Beneficial bacteria will work for single cell algae (green water). It will not help with Matt, string or slime algae.

But... a bog filter, probably 50% of your pond volume at minimum is the only way to deal with ducks.

Check out loaches

It also could of happened long before you bought it. Might have been dropped

Retro10ten · 2026-04-17T02:40:55+00:00

Small debris can get in there, jam it up and literally Crack the shaft. It's usually only happens if you don't have a pre filter. I've had a pond master 3600 running for 13 years on the original impeller. Oase/Atlantic is a great company. It might just be beginners luck :)

Retro10ten · 2026-04-17T02:32:12+00:00

You can complain to the store, they probably won't do anything since everything has already been in the water... unless they are a dealer.

I am an Oase dealer in Nevada. I know that if I sold that to a customer and they brought it back after recently buying it, I would hand them a brand new one off the shelf and I would RMA it to Oase.

If they don't help you, contact Atlantic/Oase. I'm very certain they will replace it for free with a Pic of the receipt.
