If you are one of the lucky ones who boasts a beautiful yard with a koi pond, a fountain or perhaps a bird bath, you know that while these are amazing features for any backyard, keeping the water clean is a top priority.

It is essential that you use cleaning products that contain no chemicals and are safe not only for all the animals in your yard but also for the humans, as well. There are several good products available that are not only safe and chemical-free, but also very easy to use.

If you have a koi pond, the AquaSpherePro or perhaps the AquaLily Water Cleaner are both smart choices. Each uses a special mix of beneficial bacteria to keep water hygienic and fresh. The AquaLily is shaped like a lily pad and contains a dispenser where you place a bacteria pack. The pack will treat your koi pond water for 30 days, and after that time has passed, you just restock the dispenser with a new bacteria pack.

The other option is the AquaSpherePro. This product is gently tossed into the pond and will biodegrade during the course of 30 days, releasing beneficial bacteria and keeping water clean, removing excess nitrogen, phosphorus and organic matter. There are different sizes of spheres, so you just need to order a combination to accommodate the size of your pond.

Bird baths are a lovely feature for any yard, and can be simple to keep clean when using Healthy Pond's special bird bath water cleaner. The cleaner works much like the aforementioned products, just on a smaller scale, as each bacteria dispenser treats up to seven gallons. The dispenser will work for 30 days, and it is suggested that you rinse out your bird bath and fill it with fresh water prior to the first use of the cleaner. When cleaning, just use water and a scrub brush. Avoid soaps or cleansers that can be harmful for animals.

If you have a fountain, follow the manufacturer's guidelines when it comes to the mechanical parts. To keep the water clean for any animals that might visit, consider using Healthy Pond's fountain water cleaner. This cleaner treats up to 25 gallons and works for a month. If you have a larger fountain, Blast is a good product to use to speed up the decomposition of organic matter. Each pack of Blast will treat up to 2,500 gallons.
