Fish ponds tend to get pretty gunked up in the spring and the fall as temperature changes cause an inversion in the pond. The much on the bottom gets stirred up as temperatures cause convection currents. The water will get cloudy and oftentimes, if the outside temperature is just right, algae will start to grow. If the algae gets out of control, it can cause a dissolved oxygen drop and pH shift in the water, causing some fish die off.
EM•1® to the rescue! There are a couple ways that the EM•1® helps with this. Firstly, the live microbes in the EM•1® will begin to eat the sludge material, breaking down ligning and cellulose, proteins, etc. that are in the water. Secondly, EM•1® acts very much like a natural polymer and it affects electroconductivity (EC) in the water, pulling solids out of suspension (TSS).
Take a look at this slideshow of a pond from Silver Street Studios in Houston:
It took a bit of trial and error to figure out what was going on here, but you can see how clear the water got. The entire process took a couple months, but it was worth the wait.
