Are chemicals in ponds worth while?

As it says in the article directory, before you dump chemicals into your pond to combat pond weeds, read the following information. There are alternatives to chemical pond weed removal. We advise against using chemicals in ponds, rivers, lakes, and other small bodies of water because they ruin water quality. As pond weeds die and rot, they release chemicals they’ve taken in, the same ones you’ve added to the water. Additionally, these rotting plants consume oxygen and increase the amount of organic sediment on the bottom of the pond. Anaerobic bacteria thrive on pond bottoms, as this environment has very little or low levels of O2. These naturally occurring bacteria digest organic sediments and dead pond weeds, but then release toxic gases into the water that can kill beneficial insects and aerobic bacteria. Your fish and wildlife may then die as a result of this oxygen depletion. Adding chemicals to your pond may kill pond weeds, but they’ll do nothing to remove any muck, fertilizer, or debris that accumulate in your pond over time, nor do they improve the health of your fish, quality of water, or reduce pond odor. Chemicals are no long-term solution.

New housing developments are partially responsible for the amount of nutrient runoff into streams, lakes, and ponds. Fertilizer, soil, and waste sediments wash into watersheds and cause pond weeds, algal blooms, lack of pond oxygen, high water temperatures, bad smelling pond odors, and dead fish and wildlife.

One option is the WeedRazer and WeedRaker.

• The effects of cutting generally last less than one growing season.
The best way to handle this problem is to use the rake and groom the bottom at least once a week. Lake and pond is like a garden underwater. If you want it to be clean and weed free then the best way is to cut the weed and remove the weed from the water body, and the with the help of the rake pull out the roots and groom once every week. This would kill the weed and keep you water front property clean and weed free.
