The next issue would be getting the oxygen back into your pond. Anytime the water moves or is disturbed is great because this allows oxygen back into it.

Here is where we can help, by adding a Floating Surface Aerator! Our Aerators range between ½ – 3 HP, moving between 500- 2700 gallons of water every minute!
Aeration adds oxygen to pond water, reducing algae, discouraging water breeding insects such as mosquitoes, and eliminating odor problems associated with stagnant water.
