Algaecide
Algae is one of the most common pond problems and one of the most treatable. TotalPond Algaecide works fast on both green water algae and string algae, and is safe for fish and plants when used as directed. Available in three sizes so you always have enough on hand for your pond volume.
For best results, make sure your water is well-aerated before treating. Algaecide works best when water is moving. Circulation carries the treatment throughout your pond and deprives algae of the stagnant conditions it needs to grow back.
Already treating? Pair Algaecide with Barley Extract for natural, ongoing prevention once the bloom clears. Not sure which algae you are dealing with? Our Pond Algae Control guide helps you identify the type and choose the right treatment.
At the First Sign of Green Water or String Algae
Seeing green water or string algae? You can fix this. Algaecide works fast on both. Add aeration to help it circulate and a UV clarifier to clear free-floating algae at the source.
Add essential aeration
Algaecide works best when your water is moving. Good circulation carries the treatment throughout your pond and deprives algae of the stagnant conditions it needs to grow back.
Add UV clarification
For green water specifically, pairing Algaecide with a UV clarifier gives you the fastest results. Algaecide treats the bloom you can see. UV clarification stops free-floating algae cells before they cloud the water again.
