How To Use PondBrite

It is recommended that you first do a quick test with PONDBRITE to confirm that it is the right product and you will receive the best results. Fortunately, this is easy 

1. Fill a clean clear container with a representative sample of the pond or lake water.

2. Drop in 4 or 5 PONDBRITE pebbles. Do this soon after obtaining the water sample so it remains as close to the actual temperature as possible. Do not leave the water in sunlight or refrigerate before testing.

3. Allow the PONDBRITE to dissolve; this should take 30-60 minutes.

4. Within two hours you should begin to see suspended solids in the water begin to settle at the bottom along with the PONDBRITE. As each hour passes, you should see some improvement in the clarity of the water. You might be surprised how much settling of solids takes place in your pond/lake water.

5. Allow to sit over night. If you see improved clarity then the recommended PONDBRITE dosage will likely produce good phosphorus removal. If some cloudiness remains and algae is considered the cause, increase the dosage slightly and repeat the test.

Directions for General Use:

1. Determine the water volume of the pond or lake. The recommended water pH level is between 6.5 and 8.0 and Alkalinity of 50-200PPM before applying PONDBRITE.

2. Use 0.35kg of PONDBRITE pebbles for each 5000 litres of water. Spread the pebbles uniformly as possible across the surface of the water.

3. For large ponds with fish, PONDBRITE pebbles can be applied with a skimmer rather than by applying directly – this can reduce the potential for ingestion of the particles by fish which may cause gastric distress.

4. Allow 3-5 Days for optimum clarity results – the particles are still at work in the sediment, tying up free phosphorus. Continue or repeat treatments approximately every eight weeks or as needed to maintain pond clarity.

Note: Ponds/Lakes with extreme turbidity or high phosphorus levels that receive regular run-off from yards, golf courses, or farm fields where fertilizers are routinely applied may require higher/periodic applications. If algae growth persists, repeat application after one week until desired results are achieved.
