Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Water chemistry A smelly water source.

Mike:

That approach sounds similar to using a very small pondlet, effectively a biofilter, where recirculating water reenters a micropond. That approach is discussed in the current issue of PBMag.

IIRC, there is also a forum member (identity ?) who was talking about using a marsh-like area as a bio-filter for the water entering his main pond.

Is there a way to detour this discharge around the pond? At a minimum, I would want to expose the smelly effluent to as much air as possible (wide trench, slow flow) before it entered the pond.
