INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICATION OF CLEAR POND CLARIFIER AND SLUDGE REMOVER
TREATMENT FOR LARGE PONDS
CLEAR POND DRY
contains a high concentration of many strains of beneficial bacteria and
enzymes with great capability for digesting organic wastes, including cellulose
material, fish feces, uneaten or poorly digested food, etc.
Best conditions for use:
- pH 6.5 to 8.5
- Water temperature 45 degrees
F to 95 degrees F.
- Dissolved oxygen levels of 8
ppm and up, the more the better.
- Do not feed fish for the
first 4 to6 days after using CLEAR POND. Then half of normal feeding for 2
or more days. This gives the bacteria a good start at cleaning up the
available nutrients that cause algae and foul odor.
- Do not use CLEAR POND for 72
hours after use of any antibiotic or caustic.
- Fertilizers will inhibit the
benefits of CLEAR POND bacteria and greater doses will be needed.
Moisture should never penetrate the container or it
will activate and spoil.
DOSAGE
Initial seeding of dry is 4 to 6 pounds per acre foot, depending upon water
conditions. Apply again in one week and then two weeks later. If water
conditions have deteriorated apply double the initial dose weekly for three
weeks.
Maintenance: 2 lbs. per acre foot every 3 to 4
weeks. If ammonia is also a problem, use one gallon of CLEAR
POND LIQUID BSL.(Bacteria should be added
continuously because they can be washed away in flowing systems, or they die
faster than they can reproduce. By adding more on a consistent basis, you
ensure a sufficient amount of needed bacteria to maintain a healthy balanced
system.)
RESULTS
- Creates a healthy pond
environment
- A marked improvement in
oxygen content and pH stabilizing at the 7 to 8 range
- A noticeable reduction in the
sludge, buildup of waterfowl and fish waste, breaks down dead algae
- An obvious clearing of the
water itself and greater visibility looking down into the water
- A lack of offensive odors
emanating from the water
- The fish will exhibit more
activity and probably increased appetite
- Less fish stress, less
disease and less mortality
Application
In a clean vessel containing 2 to
5 gallons of pond water allow CLEAR POND DRY to
soak about 30 minutes. Thereafter, stir and agitate well, then from shore or
boat, throw soupy mixture out into pond or lake. (CLEAR POND LIQUID BSL can be
used directly in the pond or lake without having to mix with pond water).
Disperse around the pond or lake, being sure to put where wastes are thickest.
(If using a bio-filter in ponds under 25,000 gal. put 25% of the dosage into
the filter directly.) For best results use both Dry Sludge Remover and Clear Pond Liquid into
initial seeding of the water.
Since ecological conditions differ in individual ponds and
lakes, we recommend treatments be heavier and more frequent in hot weather and
that experimentation and record keeping will be helpful in the final
determination of exact quantities to use. Because we cannot control the
conditions of the individual ponds, we are not responsible for loss or injury
to animate material in the pond.
