xKeep ornamental ponds and fountains clear with TetraPond Fountain Block
Maintain the beauty of your water features with the TetraPond Fountain Block six count. Designed for containerized ponds and ornamental fountains, these blocks can help clear cloudy water and manage algae growth, making it easier to enjoy the color of fish, the shimmer of surface ripples, and the clean lines of your fountain setup. This product is not recommended for containers with live plants.
What it does for your water feature
Algae are tiny aquatic plants that thrive in sunny, calm water. The Fountain Block is formulated to work with your system to help keep algae levels in check, which can reduce unsightly blooms and maintain clearer water over time. The design uses a slow-release mechanism, so the material dissolves gradually, typically over about 10 days, providing ongoing action without frequent handling.
- CONTROLS ALGAE: Helps prevent algae growth in ornamental water fountains and ponds.
- SLOW RELEASE: Blocks fully dissolve slowly after about 10 days.
- FOR CONTAINERIZED FOUNTAINS & PONDS: Not recommended for containers with live plants.
- EASY TO USE: One block treats between 30 and 280 gallons of water.
- CLEARS ALGAE BLOOMS: Each block dissolves to control algae and clear algae blooms.
How to use
- Dosing: Initial dose is one block per 100 gallons (380 L).
- Maintenance: Replace blocks after they fully dissolve, typically about 30 days.
- Capacity: Each block covers 100–250 gallons, depending on conditions.
- Best practices: Use as part of regular fountain maintenance; avoid mixing with plant containers.
Real-life use cases
Imagine a sunny patio pond where koi glide through a crisp, clear display. A small fountain sparkles while the water remains visually balanced, helping you enjoy the scene without frequent manual cleaning. For larger container ponds, a single block can provide extended support between changes, while an initial dose helps establish a baseline of clearer water in the feature.
