      Answer This Question

      Don’t make my mistake. I did not have “vigorous” aeration and my tadpoles died. :-(

                          I don’t think it did anything. We cleaned the pond out and pumped out as much water as we could. Then we put fresh well water in. Turned green in a couple of days. Added tablet and nothing changed. It says each tablet treats 200 gallons. My pond is less than that. Just disappointed. I was hoping this would work.

                          We are sorry you experienced this problem. This item is designed to be used as a part of a regular maintenance program. Each tablet treats 200 gallons of water, so for a larger pond you may need to dose more than one tablet at a time. With monthly dosing as directed on the label, you will be able to see better results and maintain well kept water quality. We hope this helps! total-pond

                          we have a small gazing pond. these seem to do the trick to clear up our summer funk. I prefer the tablets to the liquid kind, the tablets seem to last longer.

                          Hello Dann, thank you for your review, all feedback is important to us. Generally, the reason is a bacterial bloom, not a bad thing. This means a lot of bacteria is forming due to a high concentration of a food source (dead organics and phosphates - the things you don't want in the pond and also fuel algae growth). The pond should clear in a few days, and the product should be doing its job effectively. I would keep the pond well aerated. Your TotalPond Water Gardening Specialist, Cindy total-pond

                          It helped with pond scum, but Pond scum came right back. Would not buy this brand again.
