Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Balance of plants in the environment Ponds Out Of Control

Just thinking out loud here.

Could you rent a trash pump at a local rental place, suck out the water & junk, then pressure wash the pond & refill? Maybe do one a month?

I don't know what your water rates are, but each 100' x 50' x 15" deep pond is .14 acre foot of water, or 46,750 gallons.

It sounds like you are trying to do the work with your hands tied for you by the purse string holders.

They can either spend the $$ up front to do it right, or spend a lot of $$ and piddle away at it. It probably would be cheaper for them in the long run to do it right the first time. If you can't get them on board to roll their unused budget over from month to month, then I see an ulcer in your future! Been there, done that and still have the bumps on my forehead from banging it into the brick wall......
