I bought a house a swimming pool-sized yard (Tier 2 and waterfall). I'm pumped to all the (black / disgusting / seaweed) filled with water. It is still about 1 / 2 "of mud that cakes the bottom. Clean the filter works in the water? Is it even necessary to remove the mud? Should I give him a rub?

I have large pond in my back garden with mixture of koi fish. last year i bought a Bermuda filter with UV light and a pump. During the winter i turned the pump off, but recently i have noticed the pond is covered with blanket weed and the water has turned green. What could i do to keep the water fresh and clean as i don’t want to remove the fishes to clean the pond water out.

small (less than 800 gallons) outside pond WITH FISH. Large pump that supplies the waterfall and river (20 foot long) failed and released some kind of oil that is now completely covering the surfae. . . . worried about the fish. How can I clean this up quickly and effectively/

But there seems to be a blockage in the tubes, since the water is coming out very slowly, and the water pressure appears weak, I reckon it could be caused by a blockage in the tubing, can I add bleach to the water to clean out the tubes, or will this do more hurt?
If not is there any cleaning solution i can get that will clean out the tubes?
I have tried a google search but this has proven to be friutless.

A biological Koi pond filter saves precious Koi from themselves. Let’s face it, Koi eat like there’s no tomorrow. All that eating, in a garden pond environment, makes for a dynamic living, swimming, eating biological hazard machine. The mounting waste Koi produce amounts to rising levels of toxic compounds in the water, the most common being ammonia and nitrate. It’s not such a huge deal when the levels of these toxins are kept under control. But, a spike in ammonia or nitrate levels in the pond water could kill your Koi. In the wild, this process is taken care of by either the sheer volume of water, and/or the current of moving water taking waste particles along with it. In a garden pond setting, we need to supply this process mechanically. When entering the market for a Koi pond filter be sure to consider the fish first, not the price. If your Koi’s health is of importance to you, then you will want to take every measure to ensure their quality and longevity of life. Clean water is not only a key to their survival, but also a key to your peace of mind. Let’s face it; the cute small fishes need you. They are living beings that will depend on you to look after them for the life they spend in the pond environment you establish for them. Wow. . . how’s that for a reality check? The Koi pond filter has much to do in continuously maintaining the cleanliness of the pond water. Consider the number of fish you are intending to keep in your pond, along with how large or small the pond is itself. Koi are voracious eaters, and in turn they produce a substantial amount of waste. Because of their avid appetites, Koi also have a tendency to grow very large and very quick depending on the circumstances. Facts such as these need to be understood when keeping Koi, especially if you plot on adding more fish to the pond at a later date. A solid, reliable biological Koi pond filter is a necessity, and should be looked upon as a predominant link in the lifeline you supply them. It is a excellent thought to take your time in understanding pond filtration, as this will give you some insight into what your role will be in terms of pond filter maintenance and up keep. Explore your options with a specialist at your local pet store, or with a reputable Kio pond expert who will help you in configuring the right pond filtration system for your specific requirements. As with many things, there are countless brands, makes and models of Koi pond filter to choose from. Getting your head around it all can seem quite daunting on the outset, especially when you will be factoring in what pond pump and other equipment to use along with the filter. But, getting your figures and information together before hand can help alleviate much of the uncertainty when deciding on which pond filter to go with. It can not be stated enough that cutting corners on filtering equipment up front could cost you dearly further down the road if you loose some or even all of your gorgeous Koi fish. It is wise to agree that money and frustration are saved when you take pride in making the right choice on installing a Koi pond filter system right the first time. Yes, it costs a small more to buy the best. . . but aren’t they worth it?
