Preventing algae growth in a natural swimming pond involves maintaining a balanced ecosystem where nutrients are controlled. Aquatic plants in the regeneration zone absorb excess nutrients, limiting the resources algae need to thrive. Beneficial bacteria break down organic matter, reducing waste buildup that could contribute to algae blooms.
Proper water circulation keeps oxygen levels high and prevents stagnation, which discourages algae formation. Providing shade with floating plants like water lilies helps limit direct sunlight, reducing conditions that promote excessive growth. Regular maintenance, such as removing debris and monitoring plant health, supports the natural filtration process. Avoiding runoff from fertilizers or other nutrient-rich sources helps maintain water quality.
