Message: [QUOTE="Mucky_Waters, post: 165447, member: 3859"] Soon as last frost is past I run a constant drip water feed into my pond, and continue doing this until I shut down the pond in the fall. This does three things automatically, (1) it maintains a constant water level in the pond as the pond is essentially constantly, but very slowly, overflowing. (2) it does a constant slow constant water change. (3) It relieves me of manually doing periodic water changes. We do have chlorine in our water supply sometimes, but because the water is being added so slowly to the pond the chlorine is neutralized before it can ever get to any harmful, or even detectable levels in the pond. This system is commonly referred to as trickle water change, it is by far the best way to do water changes. [/QUOTE]
