Exclusively for use in contained water bodies like ponds and fountains, API POND ALGAEFIX is formulated for environments without water outflow. To ensure the well-being of fish, particularly in warmer weather, it’s essential to maintain adequate aeration in the pond to support oxygen levels. Before applying the treatment, accurately measure the volume of your pond to determine the correct dosage. However, it is crucial to note that this product should not be used with freshwater crustaceans, such as shrimp, crabs, or lobsters.

Their range of pond treatment supplies is specifically designed to work in harmony, providing optimal results in algae control, promoting beneficial bacterial growth, and addressing fish diseases like ich and fin rot. With API POND products, you can cultivate a safe and comfortable environment for a variety of fish species, including koi, catfish, perch, and goldfish. This means you can enjoy observing your aquatic friends rather than spending time scrubbing algae from your pond.
To achieve the best results, it is important to use all products according to the instructions provided. Each 2.5-gallon bottle of API POND ALGAEFIX can treat up to 96,000 U.S. gallons, providing a comprehensive approach to resolving and preventing algae issues. This EPA-registered pond algaecide acts quickly and effectively controls various algae types, including green water (Chlorella), string and hair algae (Cladophora), and blanket weed algae (Oedogonium) found in ponds, koi ponds, and fountains.
One of the advantages of API POND ALGAEFIX is that it does not contain copper, making it less harmful to your pond's ecosystem. Prior to application, ensure your pond or fountain is well-aerated. Thoroughly mix the algaecide into the water, ensuring an even distribution. For optimal results, repeat the dosage every three days until the algae is effectively controlled. After achieving clarity, continue a weekly dosing regimen to keep your pond or fountain clean and clear, significantly reducing maintenance efforts.

| directions | Note: it is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. For synthetically-lined pond and fountain use only, where all water is contained without any outflow. Before using, make certain that the pond has vigorous aeration, i.e. a fountain or aeration device to avoid fish loss due to low oxygen levels. When algae is controlled and removed by the filter or settles to the bottom of the pond, the oxygen level may drop to harmful levels if adequate aeration is not provided. In warm weather, pond water carries much less oxygen. Therefore, when using during warm weather and high water temperatures, vigorous, 24 hour aeration is required for the duration of the treatment. Do not shut off pond pumps and aeration devices at night. To ensure accurate dosing, determine pond volume before use. Do not overdose. Add 1 teaspoon (5ml) for each 50 U.S. gallons (190 L), ¼ cup (60 ml) for each 600 gallons (2,275 L) of pond water or fountain water. Thoroughly mix into pond water by adding near the pump outflow, waterfall, or aeration device. It can be mixed in a bucket of pond water and dispersed evenly around the pond. Repeat dose every 3 days until algae is controlled. Be prepared to siphon out dead algae. Once algae growth is under control, add one dose per week. Weekly doses will control algae growth and reduce pond maintenance. Caution: do not use with freshwater crustaceans, including shrimp, crabs, and lobsters. Precautionary statement: hazards to humans and domestic animals. Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through skin. Causes moderate eye irritation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. If swallowed, call a Poison Control Center, or doctor immediately for treatment advice. If on skin, take off contaminated clothing and rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. Call a Poison Control Center or doctor for treatment advice. If in eyes, hold open and gently flush with water for 15 minutes. | ||||
