 Here in NJ, the Mid-August weather can become quite oppressive. Before you go jumping in the pool or hiding out in air conditioning, take a few minutes to consider how this heat may affect your pond and the creatures that live there.
When air temperatures reach into the mid-90's and beyond, water temperatures are not far behind, and this can have a major impact on the health of your pond. The first changes you will probably notice in your pond during the dog days of summer are a decreased water level and increased amounts of algae. The drop in your pond's water level is due to high evaporation rates, and there's not much you can do about it besides providing more shade and adding cool, fresh water. (Note: If you are adding/replacing more than 20% of the total water volume to the pond, you will need to add de-chlorinator to the water to neutralize the chlorine in your tap water. You can buy a kit to test chlorine levels here.) Click 'Read more' down on the right to see the full article...
