¹Algaecide - These products are registered with the EPA as true algaecides. These products should directly kill algae within the pond.

²Flocculent - A flocculent causes suspended organic material in the pond to clump up and sink. This does not eliminate them from the water,
but should provide good, temporary results. It can also allow your mechanical filter to better trap the larger particles.

³Natural Bacteria/Enzyme - These products are all-natural items formulated from living bacteria and/or enzymes. These do not have a direct
control of algae. They will improve the conditions within the pond to help reduce algae growth. [Back to Top]

⁴Oxidizer - These products will chemically break down organics in the water reducing sludge and algae.

⁵Pond Dye - The dyes can be used for simply the decorative effect, but they also limit the amount of sunlight penetrating the water reducing
algae growth.

⁶Safe for Plants - These products should not harm plant life when used as directed. [Back to Top]

⁷Safe for Fish - These products should not harm fish when used as directed.

⁸Customer Rating - Average rating from our customers who have written reviews of the product. Not all products have been customer
reviewed.
