Sprinklers are on and my Koi are home!

[Lucky1116]

I'm a newbie to all of this as of Mother's Day (best gift ever!). I just purchased my fish,but now I'm worried because the sprinklers go off every other morning and spray water in my pond. Will this affect my Koi/Comet?  I have a 300 gal pond and 2 Koi and one Comet.   Will i need to dechlorinate every time my sprinklers go off?  (They are on for about 30 min, but rotate so it's not just sitting and spraying the whole time on the pond.)

I dont think they will be getting that much water, so I think they will be safe! I dont think is a huge deal! But lets see what the experts will say! Welcome to the club ponds are adictive! And you are in the right place for questions and aswers!

I think at least some of the chlorine is lost prior to the water hitting the pond.  What does make it to the pond is diluted as each drop hits the pond.

The only time I have seen problems when topping off a pond is if you run the hose into the water and the fish sit in front of it.  Why they do that, not a clue but they do.

None of the above applies if you have chloramine.

It is really good. I agree that reading this site is all good.
