Removing algae from bottom of the pond?

Question

i noticed in my new pond a large amount of algae. I dont want to use any chemicals. Is there a better way to remove and maintain and cleaner pond?

Answer 1

there is a plastic hoover you can buy which isn't expensive, which connects to any garden hose and you can suck up all the algae and other debris from the bottom into a small bag for easy disposal, i have had one for years and it works great

Answer 2

Fish is great and install a self pumping cycle system which will keep the water flowing which will reduce the algae growth.

Answer 3

Our pond does the same, but we have a filter that helps and we normally drain and scrub out once a year. Also we tried the sucker fish and they disappear we think snakes or raccoon, but koi do fine.

Answer 4

Pond?  Why not get algae feeders....a type of fish.  They use them in aquariums.   There are larger ones whether they be suckers or something like that.   If it is a pool for swimming in, then the algae wand is a better device(or chemicals if it is too extremely far gone.)
