Spreading sufficient livestock dung on the bottom of a pond (at least 2 m3/100 m2) before filling it with water is a simple way to seal it much faster. Repeat this process as many times as needed, every eight to twelve months, until the amount of seepage is acceptable.
Here are some critical indicators for ideal pond levels:
Most pond owners will use either a liquid test kit or test strips to determine the quality of their water: The outcomes of these tests are identical; however, the accuracy of the liquid testing kit is typically higher. Ammonia, nitrites, pH, and phosphates are the standard water test parameters.
Plants in the pond can do some of the work of a pump and filter without the expense. Certain natural light filters, such as submerged and floating plants in the pond, can prevent algae growth by blocking sunlight and shading the pond.
