Water snails aid in 
maintaining a clean 
pool. Their diet con- 
sists of decaying 
vegetation and algae

elongated gelatinous 
masses you find on 
the undersurface of lily leaves and 
on stems are their eggs.

Oxygenating Plants Will 
Help Keep Your Pool 
Clean and Add to Its 
Beauty and Interest 
In most natural ponds various under- 
water plants are common. Fish rely upon 
them for food and protection and also, in 
many cases, to lay their eggs upon. They 
do not necessarily keep the pool clean by 
themselves, but they do aid in maintaining 
the balance that is necessary for a clean 
pool, 
They may be planted in pots or boxes 
by themselves, or with the waterlilies.
