Questions & Answers
I could not see the instructions. What pH should the water be before adding this?
Hello Katzen, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, we do not have that information. That is a question for your local pond store. Your TotalPond Water Gardening Specialist, Cindy
We have water lilies. And, wildlife such as deer, birds (crows, woodpeckers, wrens), squirrels, and bunnies, drink the water. Salamanders and dragonfly larvae live in the water, too. Will this be safe for these animals and will the water lilies be okay??
Hello Katzen, thank you for your inquiry. Our Algaecide is safe for plants, fish and wildlife when used as directed. We hope this helps! Your TotalPond Water Gardening Specialist, Cindy
We have Algae floating on the top of the pond. Will this product kill that type of algae?

I know it varies from pond to pond, but how long is it effective, before having to treat again?
Hello Dugg. After your first dose if you are still having algae, you can repeat the dose every three days until the algae is controlled. We hope this helps. Your TotalPond Water Gardening Specialist, Natalie.
Does this help kill duck weed?
Hello. No, this treatment effectively controls many types of green or green water algae, string or hair algae and blanketweed. We hope this helps! Your TotalPond Water Gardening Specialist, Natalie.
I don’t know what duck weed is. This is meant to kill algae. It is safe for our Koi in our pond. We have other plants like lilies and water hyacinth that live well while using this product.
Can humans swim in a pond treated with this product?
Yes
Hi Mary, Thank you for your question. This treatment is for ornamental pond/fountain use only. It is not for recreational use, we hope this helps! - TotalPond Team
Is algicide plus clarifier OK for a pond with fish in it
This product is EPA-registered as safe for fish and plants. Follow the directions for safe use. MIke
Is this product safe for all fish? Bass, bluegill, channel catfish and crappie
Not sure but it won’t hurt them so it said
i'm not a fish biologist, i can not answer that question without doubts. i can tell you i have kio and goldfish in my pond forever and have never had any adverse reaction from my fish. simple instructions tell you how to distribute the solution.
We have a 20, 000 gallon pool we turned into a pond. We have large koi. We can dump in a whole gallon of the treatment, assuming the algae is not too thick, and the fish are fine. I assume other fish would do similarly.
