Green water means there are too many nutrients in the water. There can be many reasons for this. Over-feeding the fish, too many fish in pond, inadequate filtration, too much plant fertilizer, too much organic matter in potted plants or in bottom of pond. Try to get rid of anything that is producing the nutrients, also adding more plants to your pond can help pull nutrients out of the water so that it may stop your algae problem. A partial water change may also help. Hope this helps.

Water is green due to algae. I need more information to help you. How big is pond?

Green water is caused by algae. This product is pond plant soil and will not help with the algae problem. I use a product called ClearFast made by Laguna. It has helped when I had green water in the past.

That is algae. You need a pond treatment to stop it. It is usually caused by hot weather and lots of sun on your pond. Pond bluing solution can help because it stops the sun from penetrating the water.

Too much nitrogen in water creates algae blooms. Get a fish that eats algae or plant heavier with aquatic plants to keep the sunlight out and to consume nutrients that the algae is utilizing.

We use to have green ponds till we purchased the tetra filtration system. Once we started using it there is very little maintenance. When the pond does start to turn, it usually means that the micro "balls" on the inside are dirty. Clean them and done. We don't use any chemicals. I also heard that barley works good.

Algae. Buy some algaecide-I like Green Clean-and test the PH. Algae loves high PH and sun. Use PH Down or other product to get PH to 7.5-8.0. As you kill the algae, the decaying plants will cause PH to rise. You also want to put healthy bacteria in to "eat" the sludge (dead algae, leaves, fish waste) from the pond. Once you get the PH balanced and the algae killed and managed, you can use a clarifier to make the water sparkling clean. Once you get the pond stable, then maintenance is simple weekly treatments.

Usually when water sits for long periods of time, it becomes stagnant, and in the case of your filter, it's been just sitting in that filter for a month. There is a possible build up of algae. Id buy a new filter cartridge and try that.

I have NOT had that problem, I'd say it is your water. Fill a bottle, let it stand 24 hrs and check for sediment in the bottom of the bottle, this may tell you it is your water, not everything can be filtered out.

My pond is about 800 gals and this unit is good for aeration not filtration. You need to also add a good volume pump and separate filter unit.

My water was cloudy for the first gallon. The instructions said something about running the water for the few minutes in order to clean everything out. If you followed this and it's still cloudy, I guess you should contact the company. Good luck!!

Before we purchased this fountain with a filter and UV light we had 2 waterfall features with filters and our pond turned green anyway. I can't say it will do a better job, but this filter/fountain did an AMAZING job on our pond! Our pond was green when we received it and this filter cleared the water in a matter of days. The pump is a 200 GPH. I hope this helps.

If 1ppm solute of unknown identity went in and 59 more came out, I'd bet it's the carbon from the carbon filter. Nothing to worry about. Your water is still absolutely drinkable and mostly pure.

I've not had a problem with green stuff since I had this filter. I have seen other water coolers with green stuff (algae) usually in the reservoir. This was the result of the water in the water cooler being too warm. Algae forms when that happens.

Yeah it is green also but I have had great success with it. So long as you adjust your PH it work great. Depending on what your growing.

your ph could be off or your alkalinity.if the ph is out of wack it will give you bad readings thru out.i thing it would be a good idea to take a water sample to your nearest pool store and have them check your sample, between the shock and pool first aid my water was clear in a mater of hours and my pool was green when i took the cover off this year, good luck.

It is supossed to be out or low on water but mine is also showing F. I think I need to change the filter before it will go away but I am not sure.

Ours is working fine. Did you put in too much water? The different water levels are a bit tricky to see.

Because there probably is. We had the same issue and it is likely due to exposure to direct sunlight. Buy a new filter and keep your water in the shade and you should be fine

Hi it sounds like your filter is not working before the water gets to uv filter. UV only kills microorganism not actually remove anything from the water

I have this up and running and have never seen what you are speaking of tho maybe it might help if you could say where the bubbles are at. Where them seem to be coming from. Might be able to help if I had abit more info. Had fish tanks for over 30 years and seen alot of different things with different filters.

Just put it in the pond water somewhere, could be in the filter, settling tank or water fall. It can be just floating in the pond but I usually try to put it somewhere out of sight. It can make the water a light tea color for a few days but will clear up and work for several months.

When I use it, it does cloud the water a little, but after a day or so, the water should is clear again. Just use it according to the directions based on the size of your pond.
