A koi pond requires regular maintenance to keep the water clean and the fish healthy. With a good design and proper equipment, the routine can be manageable. Basic tasks include checking and cleaning the filter system, removing debris like leaves, testing water quality, and monitoring the fish for signs of stress or illness.
Feeding should be done in moderation to avoid excess waste, and water levels may need to be topped off due to evaporation. Seasonal care is important too—spring and fall often involve deeper cleaning and equipment checks, while in winter, you may need to manage ice and ensure proper aeration.
