This OWS Pond Pack is a kit containing three “all natural” products designed to help keep your pond clean.
New Lower Price and on Special for Spring! ($240.00 Worth of Products)
Each kit includes:
- 12 lbs. (24 – 8 ounce packets) of concentrated aerobic bacteria in a barley straw medium
- 10 lbs. of water clarifier
- 2 – 6 ounce packets of blue dry pond dye in water soluble pouches
This kit is designed to treat a 1/4 acre pond for the whole season (approximately 6 months) or a 1/2 acre pond for 3 months. For larger ponds, you can either treat for a shorter period of time or purchase multiple packs.
How to use Pond Packs
The bacteria is designed to break down excess nutrients in the water column and to start consuming excess organic matter on the bottom of your pond. The clarifier ties up excess phosphorous and can help improve water clarity while the concentrated blue dye packets help filter sunlight off of the bottom. The goal of all three products is to give you a clean pond while giving your pond a beautiful blue color.
These three products, when used together, can help keep your pond clean and clear throughout the year. They also work extremely well when combined with bottom diffused aeration (either wind-driven or electric systems). If your pond already has a lot of algae then you can use either Cutrine (liquid or granule) or Green Clean to control it as needed or to start off the season. Making multiple treatments of a commercial algaecide yearly is not recommended. It just kills the algae and letting it sink to the bottom. There it adds to the existing organic matter, making future algae issues worse. Using a combination of products like bacteria, clarifier, pond dye and aeration to help prevent algae is the best long term solution.
