Spring maintenance of the biolake

March and April are the right time to pay a little extra attention to the maintenance of the biolake, so that it can be ‘reborn’ in all its beauty.

Specifically, it is essential to carry out an early season cleaning, in which debris and leaves that may have settled on the bottom and walls of the basin are removed using the special robot. Particular attention must be paid to the filter area, which must be vacuumed in order to allow it to function properly.

If the pumps have been turned off during the winter, it is important to check them and turn them on again to restore the water circulation system.

With the arrival of spring, nature reawakens, so it is important to monitor the health and growth of vegetation, which may become excessive and affect the balance of the biolake. In the case of both lakeside and aquatic plants, if they are too lush, they should be pruned to prevent them from taking over and suffocating other species.

Once these measures have been taken, the biolake is ready for the warm season, in a blaze of colour and clear water that invites you to dive in and enjoy a magical moment in contact with nature.

The maintenance of the biolake in autumn

In particular, in autumn it is important to carry out some activities aimed at preparing it for the months of “rest”, so as to keep it well cared for during the cold season and encourage the rebirth of the spring months.

The main interventions to be carried out are:

Pruning of the plants and care of the filtration area

This activity allows to keep the water filtration area always clean and promotes the renewal of vegetation in the following months.

Stop and washing of the cleaning robot

The cleaning robot is a fundamental ally during spring and summer because it keeps the water clean and free of residues: in autumn it is important to wash it and prepare it for winter shelter.

Technical interventions on pumps

The verification of the correct functioning of the pumps and the reduction of their activity are steps to be taken before the arrival of the cold season.

Collection of leaves

During autumn the surface of the lake could be covered with leaves: make sure you pick them up, to keep the water clean and ready to be photographed with the arrival of snow!

We have seen that maintenance interventions are few and easy, but for technical aspects you may need the support of an expert: we are at your complete disposal to help you preserve the enchantment of your biolake.
