Controls the growth of algae which cloud pond water & often cover ornaments & gravel.
- Effectively controls "green water" algal blooms, String or Hair algae (Calidophora) and Blanketweed (Oedogonium)
- Controls many types of algae in water gardens, and Koi and goldfish ponds containing live plants and fish.
- Keeps water gardens and fountains clean and clear.
All ornamental ponds, fountains, and aquariums experience occasional algae blooms. Green (Chlorophyta) and blue-green (Cyanophyta) algae can appear as a fine coating on rocks and liners, or as tufts of “beard algae." Fountains and waterfalls can become clogged with mats of stringy “hair algae." Single-celled algae cause unsightly "green water" blooms. Pond Care Algae Destroyer Advanced will control many types of undesirable algae growth in ornamental fish ponds, fountains and large aquariums. When the active ingredient in Algae Destroyer Liquid is absorbed through algal cell walls, it interrupts normal cell metabolism and causes the algae to die. This product provides effective treatment for existing algae blooms when used regularly.
Note: Filtration with activated carbon will remove Algae Destroyer products from pond water.
Directions For Use:
This product is intended for use in ornamental ponds with a maximum volume of up to 1,000 U.S. gallons. It is against federal law to use these products in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
Shake Liquid Well
Add 1 teaspoonful (5 ml) of this product for every 50 U.S. gallons (189 L) of pond water. 1/2 cup (120 ml) for each 1,200 gallons (4,536 L). Thoroughly mix Pond Care Algae Destroyer Advanced into pond water by adding near the pump outflow, waterfall or aeration device. Pond Care Algae Destroyer Advanced can be mixed in a bucket of pond water and dispersed evenly around the pond. Repeat dose every three days until algae is controlled. Be prepared to siphon our dead filamentous algae. Oce algal growth is under control, add one dose per week. Weekly doses of Pond Care Algae Destroyer Advanced will control algal growth and reduce pond maintenance.
Warm Weather Caution
Before using Pond Care Algae Destroyer Advanced, make certain that the pond has vigorous aeration, i.e., a fountain, waterfall, or aeration device to avoid fish loss due to low oxygen levels. When algae is controlled and removed by the filter or settles to the bottom of the pond, the oxygen level may drop to harmful levels if adequate aeration is not provided. Therefore, when using Pond Care Algae Destoryer Advanced during warm weather and high water temperatures, vigorous, 24 hour aeration is required. Do not shut off pond pumps and aeration devices at night.
The best time to use Pond Care Algae Destroyer Advanced for ponds is when the water temperature is cool. Higher temperatures cause rapid decay of dead weeds and algae, reducing the oxygen content of water. When pond temperature exceeds 75° F (24°C), extra aeration of the pond is required to avoid fish stress.
Precaution: Algae Destroyer Advanced Liquid will injure aquatic plants, including water lilies, water lettuce and water hyacinths.
