Careful Fish Handling

Deep Cleaning

Sludge, weeds, blanket weed, string algae, and duckweed are removed. If required, we also carry out de-silting to restore depth and water quality.

Filter & Pump Checks

Routine equipment checks keep your pond healthy. We inspect and service pumps, filters, and UV clarifiers to ensure everything is working effectively.

Refill & Balance

Your pond is carefully refilled with clean water, then balanced to restore long-term pond health and clarity.

Water Chemistry Testing

We test and balance water chemistry, including pH, ammonia, and nitrates, and service filter media and UV clarifiers to keep filtration at its best.
