I would suggest always after the filter as you would with any water treatments, gizmos or water quality improvements.
If your filter is mature try not to damage the balance it is too easy to do so

R.O is the best answer to blanket weed , i started down the ro route this year , after yonks of toing and throwing .

last year i could fill a bin liner a day from my pond , this year , and a new pond , not a Dickie or a strand of the stuff

, also i've got a ph of 7 at the dawn reading , and the fish go seriously mad for food !! plus the growth is something else

yes steve ro is a good answer but new pond new start im not picking but you know that a pond is not a pond until its seen its first year if you can bring it on or stop it!!! nature is nature and no point of mankind can stop nature taking course.

yes i have to gone from knowing jack to knowing some learning here and there ,let me say steve i miss our chats and im working on that softly

as he is the only goodish dealer in the s.west

mark ,

as you know i recently over reacted on my pond , and had to use bogy old tap water for a water change , within 3 days of using it , i had blanket weed !! , RO is now taking over , and the tiny patch of blanket weed is going!! yep a pond does need a year , as every pond is totaly different , even if its in the same garden and on the same site !!!

as for dealers , my dealer has his moments!! but he does come up with the best fish ive ever had the chance to buy . a very wise man called peter , who lived in the midle of knowhere , bought fish from my dealer , and got them shipped
