How to clean my ponds

[Shakey]

Okay third time lucky. You can tell I'm not flash on my iPad as this is the hired time I've tried to put this up ,I think I'm in the right place this time.
Both my second hand ponds have marks on them like a dirt stain, some of this will be from the previous pond use but both ponds were full of liquefaction when I dug them out. Liquefaction in case your not sure what I'm on about is a type of grey sand that comes up from down below when we had our two big earthquakes three years ago it only came to surface in some places ,nothing grows in it so I'm hoping to just use dishwasher detergent. I will put some pictures on tomorrow as it is to late and to dark now to do so.

Cheers. Shakey

When we bought our former QT dealershhip pond too retro fit into a pond shakey it had warkings at varruing depths due to calcification on the sides of the pond (hard water area).
We tried to pressure wash it off tried scrubbinging it off everything you could think of .
Eventually we said ok cant get it all off we'll have to live with it .
So thats what we did and before long all these white rings disapeared under a soft layer of algae and it was only today reading your post we even recalled it , so if its inside the ponds your marks are on then no worries my friend they will get covered

I could not get the labels off of some preforms my sweetie bought me, I just left them. Within a month or two the white and blue labels disappeared.
I would not worry about getting the inside of the pond perfectly clean. All the marks will disappear.

Hi Shakey! I was new to the computers too just three years ago, now I am getting much better too. I started off with a little folding tablet then and you will learn as you go. I was frustrated too when I could not get pictures and stuff up, so if you need help I will try my best to help you. I think you can take pictures from that IPad and load them onto this forum.

The stickers on the pond can be scraped or like Addy says, they fall off in a month or so.

Happy Ponding to you in Shaky New Zealand!!!!

The stickers never fell off they just got covered with algae, dirt , whatever. Disappeared from eyesight.

Don't worry about cleaning them, all those marks will disappear when you have them filled and running.
