While ponds and water gardens are always a joy to sit beside, knowing how to maintaining them is a challenge that every water pond owner must keep up with. There is a cliche in the water gardening world that says “we don’t keep fish, but rather water.” Anyone who has a pond fully appreciates this bit of wisdom.

Water treatment test kits such as PondCare Liquid GH and KH Test Kit can help ensure that your water garden enjoys the correct balance to maintain life for both plants and your koi.

Knowing the volume of your pond will help you ensure you apply the correct amount of treatment when needed.

So enjoy your pond, but remember that consistent testing of your water garden will help ensure that you can continue to enjoy it for years to come.
