Oxygenating pond plants are key to having not only clear water, but also a healthy ecosystem for koi and goldfish. These plants grow quickly in the spring and summer consuming nitrates from the water resulting in clear healthy pond water. They also provide spawning habitat for fish and shelter for baby fish.
If you are on municipal water, make sure to use a Tap Water Conditioner / Dechlorinator when you fill your pond. Many municipalities add Chloramine to their water, which can remain in the pond for weeks unless treated with a dechlorinator. Dechlorinator instantly makes tap water safe for fish and other pond inhabitants.
