What it does
This algae control solution addresses several forms of algae that commonly affect outdoor water features. It targets green water blooms, string and hair algae, and blanket weed, helping to reduce visible growth and support clearer water. The product is formulated to work in ponds, koi ponds, and fountains that include live aquatic plants, without disrupting beneficial bacteria when used as directed.
- Controls green water blooms (Chlorella)
- Reduces string and hair algae (Cladophora)
- Suppresses blanket weed (Oedogonium)
- Copper-free, EPA-registered formula
- Safe for fish, plants, and surrounding wildlife when used as directed
- Suitable for use in ponds, fountains, and waterfalls with plants
Real-world use scenarios
Ideal for ornamental ponds with water lilies, koi, or streaming water features. Homeowners often notice clearer water and improved light penetration after treatments, though results vary with factors like sunlight, aeration, and maintenance routines. The product’s compatibility with plant life makes it a practical option for mixed aquatic landscapes.
How to use
Prepare the water feature with vigorous aeration. Add the solution by mixing it thoroughly into the pond or fountain water and dispersing evenly across the surface. Repeat dosing every 3 days until algae is under control, then resume a weekly maintenance dose to help keep water clean and reduce ongoing maintenance.
- Ensure strong aeration before dosing
- Mix thoroughly and disperse evenly
- Dose again every 3 days during an algae bloom
- Shift to weekly maintenance once control is achieved
