A pond brings tranquility and biodiversity to your garden, but then the pond must be clear and healthy. Making the pond clear can be a challenge, because filamentous and floating algae are stubborn algae that you'd rather not see in the pond. With our 35 years of pond experience, we are happy to help you solve this problem. Oxygen plants and Bacta Clear - the formula with 2 strains of pond bacteria developed by pond specialist and aquatic plant breeder Simon - are your way to a clear pond.

With pond plants and pond bacteria, you no longer have to worry about maintaining the pond.


Pond bacteria provide a year-round clear pond in a 100% natural and environmentally friendly way. Harmless to humans and animals.


Pond bacteria improve aquatic plant growth and clear water by removing sludge, silt and other waste products from the pond floor.


Plenty of oxygenating underwater plants in the pond will keep you from needing a pump and filter.


Oxygen plants filter the water and block the sun. This causes the water to heat up less, resulting in less algae.

Why isn't your pond clear?

A question often asked, "Why isn't my pond clear?" Cloudy water in a pond can have several causes, such as excess algae or a lack of beneficial pond bacteria. Whether you want to clear a green pond or keep a shallow pond clear, we'll give you the tips you need to achieve this result easily, quickly and completely naturally.

How is a green pond created?

A murky pond is out of balance and this can have several causes, including excessive fish stocking, not enough oxygen plants, lack of proper pond bacteria, warm weather and the presence of waste products. When the self-cleaning ability of the pond water decreases, pollutants can accumulate and stimulate the growth of floating algae, which can cause the pond to become green and cloudy. This can lead to disruption of pond plants and pond wildlife in the pond.

Clear your pond with oxygen plants

Oxygen plants are essential for any kind of pond. Not only do they help clear the green pond, but they also keep the pond algae-free. By creating a balance between oxygen plants and algae, you can prevent murky water in your pond and even achieve a clear pond without a pump, filters or water improvers.

Using Bacta Clear to clear your green Koi pond

Bacta Clear is a product Simon has developed to make ponds clear. It contains a blend of beneficial bacteria that fight different types of algae. Whether you're dealing with green water after winter or an abundance of algae in your pond, Bacta Clear makes a difference. It works as an algaecide against floating algae and filamentous algae.

Float Algae

Controlling thread algae and floating algae

Thread algae and floating algae are two types of algae that can make ponds murky. Controlling thread algae and floating algae in the pond with lime is a common method. A more natural and effective way to make pond water clear by fighting algae is to add Bacta Clear to the water. BactaClear also stimulates the growth of aquatic plants which, together with the bacteria, restores the biological balance in the pond and keeps it healthy. One bottle of Bacta Clear is sufficient for 20,000 liters of water.

Controlling algae in your pond

There are different types of algae, including green, brown and blue algae. It can be challenging to control algae in the pond naturally, but with Bacta Clear's pond bacteria, it is possible. There are also other methods of controlling algae in the pond, namely planting enough oxygenated plants and other types of aquatic plants. Furthermore, a layer of pond substrate on the bottom should not be missing.

Within a few weeks, my green algae pond was history

As a nature lover I always wanted a pond, despite knowing little about ponds I took the step to build one. A few months later I was suddenly troubled by a green pond. After some research I came across the site of "Van der Velde Waterplanten", immediately purchased an oxygen plant kit and a bottle of Bacta Clear and within a few weeks my green algae pond was history. Very happy to have found a fast acting miracle cure!

In no time we had a clear pond again

A pond in the garden is very nice but the water has to be clear. At first we had a lot of algae problems. We asked Van der Velde for advice and they recommended adding an oxygen plant kit and a bottle of pond bacteria to the water. In no time we had a clear pond again and the kids could sit with their feet in the water again!

Pond clarity can be affected by several factors, including the presence of algae, water quality and the balance of bacteria in the pond.

With murky water, it is important to identify the cause. This can range from algae blooms to a lack of beneficial bacteria. Plenty of oxygen plants and a bottle of Bacta Clear are the solution.

Keeping your pond algae-free is achieved by maintaining a healthy balance between the pond plants, pond fish and bacteria in the pond. Using Bacta Clear helps keep algae away.

It depends on the extent of the problem and the solution used. With oxygen plants and Bacta Clear, improvement can be seen within a few weeks.
