Today we will reveal the professional koi big never out of the filtration system maintenance secret, hand in hand to teach you to use the three-step maintenance method, so that the water quality of your fish pond continues to remain crystal clear.

Step 1: The Golden Three Minutes of Routine Maintenance

Perform these three key operations before early morning feeding:

Observe the water level line: the water level drops 2cm to replenish water immediately to avoid the water pump idling and burning;
Check the spout: use a toothbrush to clean the nozzle of algae and make sure the water flow spreads in an umbrella shape;
Touching the filter pads: Turn them over for use as soon as the surface appears sticky and slippery to the touch.

Focus Misconceptions:Filter wool does not get cleaner the more you wash it! Washing more than 2 times a month will destroy the nitrifying flora, and it is recommended to rinse gently with fish pond water.

Step two:Weekly Maintenance's "Seeing, Hearing, and Seeing"

Prepare a three-piece set of white vinegar, toothbrush, and measuring cup:

1. Look out: Observe the water level of the sedimentation bin, and immediately discharge the water when it exceeds 1/3 of the capacity;
2. Smell: open the lid of the biochemical warehouse, the normal should be a faint smell of earth, the emergence of sour smell indicates that the bacterial flora imbalance;
3. Cut: Detect the flow of the pump, connected to the 500 ml measuring cup should be filled in 15 seconds (overtime need to be descaled).

Hands-on skills:Soak water pump impeller with white vinegar for 10 minutes, stubborn scale comes off automatically (compare video).

Step Three:Seasonal Change Care Tips(at change of season)

🌱‌Spring: increase 30% oxygen levels to prevent bacterial outbreaks
⚠️ Focus on water mold control:

Add 0.3% salinity at 10-15°C water temperature and weekly prophylactic disinfection with chlorine dioxide 0.3ppm
Early cleaning of sedimentation bins for March algae outbreaks

🏝️ Summer: Shade net + frozen mineral water bottles to cool down, control water temperature below 28℃.
❄️Winter: add a heating rod Tips: power = water volume (liters) x 0.5W

💡Special reminder:UV lamps must be replaced every March! Even if they are in normal use, decaying UV intensity can cause algae to get out of control.

When your fish pond filtration system shows the following signs, it indicates that in-depth maintenance is needed:

🔋 Tiny bubbles collect on the surface of the water for more than 10 seconds without bursting
🔋 White crystals appear on the surface of the filter media
🔋 Sudden increase in water pump noise of 3 dB or more

📌 Key Notes:

1️⃣ Biochemical filter media is prohibited to be rinsed with tap water!
2️⃣ A power outage of more than 4 hours requires you to turn off your fish pond filtration system and add nitrifying bacteria after restarting.
3️⃣ Fish density is recommended to be <30cm body length/m³ (refer to the average volume of current villa fish ponds).
