PondBlue Instructions:
-
Shake product well before using. Operate pumps for at least 24-hours following dosing to ensure adequate circulation of active ingredients throughout pond.
-
Add 1 capful (5 ml) of PondBlue per 50 US-gallons in pond or water garden in an area of moving water (such as a pump exhaust). Allow at least 1 hour for product to work before re-applying.
-
Reoccurrence of foam within 24 hours of application indicates that the nutrient content of the water is particularly high, and that a change in pond husbandry to limit nutrient input, as well as a water change to bring about a short-term decrease in nutrients, and therefore foaming tendency, may be required.
How to Calculate Your Pond Volume:
To determine the correct dosage, calculate acre‑feet:
Acre‑feet=Surface area in acres⋅Average depth in feet
Why this matters: Dye effectiveness depends on volume, not just surface area.
If your pond is deeper, you’ll need more dye.
Example: A 1‑acre pond that averages 6 ft deep = 6 acre‑feet → 6 quarts.
PondBlue Benefits:
✔ Improves appearance of fish by altering water coloration (blue).
✔ Promotes water clarity by decreasing water cloudiness that is the result of excess waste and nutrient content.
✔ Eliminates foam created by fountains, waterfalls, and windy weather conditions.
✔ Improves surface reflectivity and overall appearance of pond or water garden by dispersing
minute particles trapped in water’s surface (e.g. pollen, dust, etc.).
✔ Promotes high oxygen exchange capacity at water’s surface.
✔ Immediately improves clarity in ponds on public display.
✔ Safe for use with all pond fishes, plants, and invertebrates.
When to use more or less:
Use more dye if:
-
Water is very clear
-
You want a darker aesthetic
-
Your pond receives intense sunlight
Use less dye if:
-
You prefer a lighter tint
-
Your pond is shallow
-
You’re combining dye with other treatments
-
Shake product well before using. Operate pumps for at least 24-hours following
dosing to ensure adequate circulation of active ingredients throughout pond.
