The pH level on your pond will fluctuate regularly, and will typically be higher in the afternoon than in the morning. Test at a regular point in the day; the ideal time to test is midday. Test your pond water’s pH level. The level should read between 6.5 and 7.5. A measurement too high will often indicate “hard” water, or water that has too much calcium and/or magnesium and measures about 7.8 on a test kit.
