The main reason you lose bacteria in your pond is by using harsh algaecides to kill algae. Those chemicals also kill bacteria that are even more delicate than the algae. Beneficial bacteria can help in decomposition of organics after using algae and weed control. Generally Beneficial Bacteria is sold and strongly promoted by pond management places because it is a profitable item for them. Notice those sellers do not guarantee the product - ever wonder why? What they are selling generally does not contain strains of bacterial that are not already present naturally in most non-chemicalized ponds. There has been quite a bit of discussion in past forum post discussions about this topic. A search should produce some of those results.
