Should I Clean My Pond Every Year?

If your pond is less than 3,000 gallons, it is recommended that you fully drain your pond every spring. The buildup of organic materials (ie leaves, fish waste, and natural debris) will leach tannins into your pond ultimately turning your pond water tea color. For larger ponds, we recommended a partial cleaning every year with a full cleaning every 2 to 3 years.
