KOI MARKET SERVICES HUNDREDS OF CLIENTS ON LI, WE HAVE A DEDICATED POND MAINTENANCE DIVISION WITH THE EXPERTISE TO HANDLE ANY POND MAINTENANCE TASK.

Due to the size and differences with every pond, a pond consult will be needed to assess the workload needed to perform the necessary tasks and the time it will take on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis. In most cases, we recommend performing bi-weekly instead of monthly maintenance, depending on the type of pond and filtration. The accumulation of debris over 4 weeks is much greater — and therefore a much more difficult task. This can outweigh the benefit of only performing maintenance once a month. Additionally, only maintaining the pond once a month can be very hazardous to the aquatic life in the pond.
