hi everyone, so we have had a pond for about 10 years now, we moved to our workplace in 2019 but are now back and have been tackling our pond which was in need of a bit of TLC. we have a round pressure filter fed by a pump with 3 sponges in it plus a uv bulb in it.. this used to keep our pond nice and clear without issue. so we did a part water change in December and hoovered out leaves ,sludge etc and all looked good for a day or so but then the whole pond had silt covering it. i flushed the filter to clean it out and left it alone after that. so a couple of days ago we repeated the process only this time made a real effort to hoover the deep end to get as much sludge out as possible and drained off nearly 2 thirds of the pond... this killed my pond vac motor as well. so lovely and clear for two days but the dreaded silt has returned and settled on everything again.
so any tips or ideas to try and get it nice and clear full time, cheers lee
