What Pond Cleaning Pods Treat
- Blanket weed (filamentous algae) — the green stringy weed that coats pumps, plants and pond edges
- Green water algae — suspended single-cell algae causing murky green water
- Organic sludge — decomposing leaves and fish waste that accumulate on the pond bottom
- Filter media buildup — organic residue that clogs biological filter media
- Odour — decomposing matter causing unpleasant pond smells
