A Covid-19 Update...



With the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent quarantine to prevent the virus spreading, there is a lot of misinformation, confusion and fear swirling around.  Namely, many folks are left wondering how this Coronavirus affects ponds, streams and our own drinking water.

According to the CDC, there is no scientific evidence to support that a person can catch Covid-19 from water - such as ponds, swimming pools or hot tubs  They caution that even though the chances are almost non-existent, taking precautions to properly clean or manage your water features and pools is ideal.  Using the right chemicals and keeping these features well-maintained should be more than sufficient during this time to inactivate or remove the virus that causes it.

There has also been no Covid-19 detected in drinking water supplies and current disinfection methods are more than able to properly remove or inactivate the virus as well.

At Laughing Waters Pond Maintenance, we put the health and safety of our customers, their families and our employees as the main priority.  While this is a difficult time for so many, we believe that with cooperation, compassion and precaution, we will overcome this hardship and embrace a brighter future.  We will continue to monitor the CDC water findings and let everyone know if anything changes.

For more information, please feel free to contact our Laughing Water Pond Maintenance specialists at 708.586.2393 and remember to wash your hands, practice social distancing and be safe out there.

Getting Your Pond Ready For Fall

  As the summer sun sets earlier and temps begin to drop, it's important to prepare your pond for surviving the coming winter.  It takes a bit more than shutting off the pump and throwing a tarp on top to keep your ecosystem thriving and make a spring opening that much easier.  What is vital for your pond, especially if you have fish, is to maintain acceptable oxygen levels throughout the bitter weather and get rid of as much decaying debris as possible because they give off toxic gas.  When it comes down to it, is your pond ready for the fall? Leaves - Fallen leaves and other foliage that access your pond produce toxic gases as they decay, which can be harmful to fish and your ecosystem in general. Before the leaves begin to fall, put a protective net over the top to catch leaves.  When it's time to close up the pond all you have to do is roll up the netting and toss out the leaves collected.  Equipment - Now is the time for your pump and filters to be cle...

The Clock Is Ticking

  How To Run Your Pond In Winter Greatly Depends On If You Have Aquatic Life, Like Fish Or Turtles. No Matter If Your Pond Will Stay Running Or Not, It Should Be Prepped For Winter BEFORE Temps Dip BELOW 40 Degrees. One of the most common questions we are asked is when to start prepping a pond for winter.  This is especially important if you live in a cold climate where the water is apt to freeze.  A common guide is to have your pond properly secured and ready to face winter BEFORE the temperatures begin dropping below the 40 degree mark. The only real difference in pond prepping will be if you have aquatic life.  For those with fish, turtles and other living creatures inhabiting their pond, you will need to winterize much differently than those without.  In order to keep those creatures alive and make sure they bounce back come Spring, you need to keep the water circulating via large enough pump, aerator or both.  Something often overlooked is the fact tha...
