Upon our assessment, we found this shallow pond to be quite eutrophic and covered in duckweed and algae. Dissolved oxygen levels were very low, and it had little life in it. As electricity was not available until late fall, we began treating this pond with just bacteria and pond dye in mid-August. Within 3 weeks, there were already signs of improvement. Once the fine bubble subsurface aeration was installed, the pond showed great improvement and continues to do so. The increased level of dissolved oxygen worked wonders.
