I have a terrible problem with algae in my pond this year. It has gotten so bad that today I had my helper treat the pond with 4 ounces of crystal copper sulfate. I have about a 5K or less square foot pond that is maybe three feet deep at the most and I pump fresh water into it every night. I am on a three tier electric rate system and that is when the rates are the absolute cheapest. I use a computer to control the pumping times with a dedicated 30 gpm pump in my six inch rotary drilled well. I think I will have to treat the pond multiple times to get rid of the algae, which is growing from the bottom of the pond to the surface.
Any comments are appreciated as this is the first time in 20 years I have has such a bad problem.
