Exploratory Drain & Clean

Buying a house with a pond is exciting — until you realize you have no idea how to take care of it.

That’s exactly why we created our Exploratory Drain & Clean. This service is designed for new homeowners who just inherited a pond they know nothing about, and for existing customers whose ponds haven’t been properly cleaned in 2+ years.

Here’s what makes this service different:
  • We fully drain and deep-clean the entire pond
  • We document all your equipment — make, model, and specs
  • We measure your pond’s exact square footage and gallons
  • We spend extra time teaching you how to properly maintain your pond going forward

This is the perfect first step for new pond owners. We don’t just clean it — we make sure you understand how to keep it healthy.

Unknown ponds often have much heavier sludge buildup, hidden equipment issues, or repair needs. We budget extra time to fully assess your pond, document everything, and teach you how to care for it properly.

Algae Control & Health Pond

Algae is one of the most common — and most frustrating — challenges pond owners face. A little is normal and even healthy. But when string algae takes over your waterfall or green water clouds your view of your koi, it’s time to bring in the experts. At Domina’s Agway, we take an eco-friendly approach to algae management: treating the root cause, not just the symptom.

Algae Control & Water Clarity

Green water or string algae in your pond is not a surface problem — it’s a sign your pond’s ecosystem is out of balance.

Green Water (Pea-Soup Green) This usually means you have too much organic matter for your current filtration to handle. Our approach focuses on fixing the root cause:

  • Reducing fish feeding
  • Evaluating and optimizing your filtration system
  • Adding beneficial bacteria to restore biological balance

String Algae

Fish are nature’s best string algae eaters. We also offer two effective solutions:

Tilapia – Natural algae control (we grow and sell them seasonally)
IonGen System – An electronic water clarifier that eliminates string algae without chemicals

Instead of just treating symptoms, we help you build a healthier pond that naturally stays clear.
