Pond Water pH
The importance of pH in your koi fish pond
pH is only a measurement of the free Hydrogen ions in the water and is very, very dynamic. Your pond pH can change overnight...In particular, the pH is prone to fall, and "ph crashes" are quick, and fatal to your pond fish. Interestingly, many people say they checked the pH in their pond last week, and are surprised to find that the pH can change overnight.
In simple terms, the pH in your pond water is supported in range by the carbonate activity of your water (measured in Total Alkalinity and KH crbon hardness) and when the carbonates are exhausted, or overloaded, the pond pH plummets to 5.5 and kills your pond filter bacteria and koi fish. In other situations, the pH can glide downward very slowly over months and thus your resident pond fish can survive a low pH but the new koi fish you keep buying perish quickly as they enter the pond water with a very acid pH.
Check your ponds pH regularly, and also, to get a grip on your 'safety net', measure the water's carbonate activity as Total Alkalinity and KH carbonate hardness as well. Protect your pond fish from a deadly pH crash by adding carbonates with good pH buffer.
