Thxs for your reply appreciate your prompt response.
So you can change water only once a week or can you change any time if you visit the pond more often in a week.If sickness is prevalent how do you disinfect and treat your fish especially if water may come from the same soure of contaminants even after water changes.

If you have tonnes of money in the bank and no need to work you can go down daily to change water but for most working people we do it once a week heh heh heh

But like I mentioned earlier if you have only 2 goldfish in a 8' pond and you do massive changes the landlord will tell you for wasting water.He doesnt make much from tenants.Though water is free,his overheads includes providing pumps and electrictiy and after the set up costs and rentals paid to our garment the $50 or so that he charges you for a 6 to 8 ft pond monthly is not much.

For my case,I rent from Sean (HOR) so its not directly dealing with the landlord.He takes care of my fishes including disease treatments.Abt 3 weeks back my pond was affected by external parasites.What he did was isolate them in tubs using PUB water and administer treatment.For pond cleaning and disinfecting he normally uses chlorine granules which he sprinkles onto the bare pond and giving it a scrub.

AFAIK,there has been no cases of bad water supply affecting the whole farm with the same disease outbreak thus far.

Hope that answers your query.
