Pond Water Quality

In general, everything you should know about your water is avaialble in some sort of simple test kit. Most kits are very easy to run. You can buy these kits at your local shop or online. Run them at least weekly during the first part of pond opening but monthly or more during the season. If fish ever get sick or start acting funny, you should know that SEVENTY PERCENT of fish health problems, INCLUDING vulnerability to disease-causing organisms - are related to WATER QUALITY. Do NOT make the mistake of blowing off the importance of pH and ammonia testing in particular at the first sign of trouble.
