  1. Typically, what will happen especially with a new Orange County water ponds or somebody has cleaned out their pond and they are refilling it, it looks great for a few days, and you know the sun is out and all of a sudden, boom! Algae bloom, so there’s a couple of things we have to do about that. Number one and the easiest way to handle it is patience.
