About
The “My Natural Pond” Story
Years ago when I lived in England my pond was always plagued by algae. I tried many products with little success and was always worried some might kill my collection of fish. Then I discovered a safe natural product called AQUAPLANCTON.
It was a little messy to use as it is a fine white mineral powder that turned my pond water milky for seven days before settling to the bottom. Over the following six weeks my pond became crystal clear. It even helped eat through the muck that was accumulating inches deep at the bottom thus helping me avoid annual pond clean outs.
In 2003, ago my family moved to Vista near San Diego and there in our new house we had two ponds and both had green algae. I could not find AQUAPLANCTON so I contacted the company in the UK and they said no one in the USA was selling it. As I had years of experience in distribution and marketing, I became the exclusive retailer of this product here. Now, years later with thousands of sales and many repeat customers we hope to help all pond owners with algae problems beat this awful problem naturally. Five years ago we started the Microbe-Lift range of natural products for use in very large ponds and lakes. On this site you can find a lake survey. It takes just a minute to answer some questions and in return you will receive a specific treatment program for your pond or lake.
Eight years ago we added a range of solar pond pumps and fountains. Many people have no access to electricity or they find their electricity bills too high. These solar pumps have proven to be very reliable and many people have improved the health of their ponds using them. For some people it has meant they can start a pond project for the first time.
If you have electricity we suggest looking at the Matala range of aerator we sell for both ponds and lakes. These are mains powered air pumps that sit outside of the pond and pump air down tubes to a diffuser that sits on the bottom of a pond, generating a vortex of bubbles that oxygenate the water.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
At My Natural Pond, we believe a healthy pond or lake is a living ecosystem, not a problem to be solved with harsh chemicals. Many conventional treatments such as algaecides, herbicides, and copper based products promise fast, visible results. But over time, they often weaken the natural balance of the water by harming beneficial bacteria, plants, and aquatic life.
These approaches focus on short term control rather than long term health. They may suppress algae for a while, but they do not address the underlying causes such as poor circulation, low oxygen, and excess nutrients. The result is a cycle of repeated treatments and a system that becomes increasingly dependent on stronger chemical solutions.
Our philosophy is to work with nature instead of against it.
That is why we combine all natural water treatments with clean, renewable energy solutions. Our solar powered fountains, waterfall pumps, and lake aeration systems keep water moving, improve oxygen levels, and support the biological processes that naturally limit algae growth and improve clarity.
When natural products and solar powered circulation work together, your water becomes more balanced, more resilient, and easier to maintain. The ecosystem strengthens itself rather than being forced into temporary compliance. Choosing this approach is an investment in the future of your pond or lake. It protects the beauty of your water feature, the safety of people and animals who enjoy it, and the natural balance that allows it to thrive season after season.
