Formulated for fast acting results, Pond Logic® Algae Defense® can be applied directly to troublesome algae and chara to treat both floating and bottom forming algae. Algae Defense® carries no water use restrictions making it great for fresh water lakes, potable water reservoirs, and game fish ponds and water treated with Algae Defense® may be used immediately for recreational activities, drinking and irrigation.

When To Use Algae Defense®

Algae Defense® should be applied to target algae while it is active and growing. The active ingredients in Algae Defense® will be absorbed by the plant killing it entirely.

How To Use Algae Defense®

Mix the desired amount of Algae Defense® and pond water in accordance to label directions. Using a pressurized sprayer; spray the Algae Defense® mixture directly onto target algae. Overtime treated algae will begin to brown and die. Once it is completely dead, rake the dead algae away to prevent an accumulation of plant decay and pond muck.
