Algae treatments begin in North & South Carolina this week as water temperatures warm to around 60 degrees. Often we hear from HOA’s and commerical retention pond owners that they thought that these bodies of waters just take care of themselves.  Although this maybe be true of your septic tank, there is a good reason that they are buried.  They stink.

Retention ponds are not farm ponds.  In other words they are not isloated or independent bodies of waters that have little run off like a farm pond.  Retention ponds have huge algae blooms in just days because they are a “catch all” for your HOA neighborhood.

All those culverts and drains in your streets run into the retention pond contaminating the water with high amounts of nutrients like fertilizers & soaps.  These nutrients quickly become the food source for the algae bloom and before you know it your water front property looks like a swamp.

That is why Platinum Ponds & Lake Mangement specializes in consulting retention pond owners on how to manage their HOA pond or lake.  By monthly management practices we have found the solutions to taming the monster of the retention pond.
