Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Water good enough?

How big is the pond?
How old is the pond?
Has the pond ever recived well water? If yes about how often and or how much?
I (we) will assume the TA&M water sample results were from the well water. IMO you should also have a baseline pond water test for the same chemicals that were tested in the well water. Then when you add new well water to the pond you have the ability to see or know the impact of how well water is affecting the pond's chemistry / ecology / ecosystem. The minerals in well water will not evaporate nor leave the pond and will accumulate to make it more "salty". Draining and or flushing of pond water reduces the chemical concentrations in the pond. It is good to monitor and know the amount of mineral "salty" increase over time.
