API POND ALGAEFIX Algae Control
Why use API POND ALGAEFIX Algae Control?
Algae growth can appear as “green water” blooms, "pea-green soup", filamentous algae on plants, or floating mats (blanket weed). Algae grows when there is an excessive amount of nutrients in the water, usually in spring prior to plant growth, and in the summer in direct sun.
API POND ALGAEFIX Algae Control works fast to control algae growth and keep ponds, water gardens and fountains clean and clear.
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.
Will not harm fish, plants, surrounding wildlife and pets when used as directed
Do not use with freshwater crustaceans, including shrimp, crabs, and lobsters
How to use API POND ALGAFIX Algae Control (Read and follow all label directions before use)
Step 1
Vigorous, 24-hour aeration is required for the duration of the treatment. Do not shut off pond pumps and aeration devices at night.
Step 2
Remove as much algae as possible by hand prior to treating pond.
Step 3
DO NOT OVERDOSE. Thoroughly mix into pond water and disperse evenly around the pond. Add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) for each 50 U.S. gallons.
Step 4
As algae dies, remove as much of the dying algae as possible. Once algae growth is under control, add one dose per week to control algae growth.
How to dose API POND ALGAEFIX Algae Control
Do not overdose!
Add 1 teaspoon (5ml) for each 50 U.S. gallons (190 L) or a ¼ cup (60 ml) for each 600 gallons (2,275 L). We calculated some possible dosing examples for you in the aside chart.
Repeat dose every 3 days until algae is controlled
Once algae growth is under control, add one dose per week. Weekly doses will control algae growth.
CALCULATE THE VOLUME OF YOUR POND BEFORE USING
To ensure accurate dosing, determine pond volume before use. You can use the following:
• For Square and Rectangular Ponds: Avg. length (feet) x Avg. width (feet) x Avg Depth (feet) = cubic feet of water. Cubic feet of water x 7.5 = number of gallons
Example: A pond with a length of 8 feet, width of 6 feet and an average depth of 2 feet has approx. 720 U.S. Gallons.
• For Round Ponds: Top Diameter x Bottom Diameter x Height x 0.785 x 7.5
Example: 3’TD x 3’ BD x 2' H x 0.785 x 7.5 = 106 U.S. Gallons.

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.
