About This Product

Clear cloudy water! TotalPond Water Clarifier quickly clears murky pond water of dirt, sediment, and organic particles. The liquid formula uses polymers that consolidate and sink floating particles and organic matter to the bottom of the pond. The sunken consolidated debris created by the Water Clarifier can be more easily removed by your pond's filter. Ideal for when organic debris builds up in the pond or when cloudy water is visible. One 16 oz. bottle treats up to 960 gallons of water. Water Clarifier is most effective when followed by Sludge Remover. Wait 48 hours after applying Water Clarifier to add Sludge Remover to your pond. Environmentally safe, this non-toxic formula is safe for fish and wildlife. Ingredients consist of deionized water and polymers. Before using water treatments in warm weather, make sure the pond has strong, constant aeration to avoid low oxygen levels. For outdoor ornamental ponds only.

      I use the product in 3 ornamental ponds that contain fish and frogs. There has been no detrimental effects. I chose this product because it did not have a warning label warning of any danger to existing wildlife in the ponds. Some of the other products warn about using it in ponds that contain tadpoles. It is used in conjunction with a product that keeps the mosquito population down.

          I do not have a pond; however, I use this in my pond less waterfall. Birds bathe and drink from it as well as my dogs. I do not believe it would be harmful to turtles.

                Depending on how cloudy the water was before adding, you should be ok.

                  I added the product in the afternoon. The directions said to let it run thru the pump for a few hours and the results were amazing. The water is as clear S glass

                      The water treatment will clear up fountain water without filter. However, the sediment will drop to the fountain bottom which may be visible. It is best to have a filter to clean up any sediment or debris.

                                Here is my reason for giving Total Pond a good review. This spring my new pond 9'X10' started to turn green. I used Total Pond Algaecide for about one week. I saw an improvement so my next step was to use their Clarifier following the instructions for use. After 24 hrs. the water was 90% clear. I then called Total Pond and ask them what was the next step. The instructions on the bottle are a little vague. They recommended waiting another 4 to 5 days and then start using the Sludge remover. My pond is totally clean and water tested 7.5 pH, no ammonia, nitrite or phosphates. GREAT product.
