Reputation Level:  | electronic weed application 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

Reputation Level:  | 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

Reputation Level:  | 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
