Refilling your pond with a hose? Beware!

Ever filled your pond or aquarium up with a hose before? Ever forget to turn it off? Forgetting to turn the water off for long periods can lead to massive fish losses due to chlorine toxicity. This happened to a client of mine a few months back.

How can we avoid this? My suggestion is to use the hose with an in-line timer set at 10min intervals. Timers come in all designs, but a simple one can be easily purchased from your local hardware store for around $10. This will save your fish, save water and save flooding your floor.

Depending on how much you need to refill, you can set the timer for 15, 30 or 45 min…
