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. POND ALGAEFIX: 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. If swallowed, call a Poison Control Center, or doctor immediately for treatment advice. If on skin, take off contaminated clothing and rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. Call a Poison Control Center or doctor for treatment advice. If in eyes, hold open and gently flush with water for 15 minutes. POND-ZYME: Sprinkle evenly around the perimeter of the pond. Add 4 teaspoons per 200 U.S. gallons (757 L) of pond water twice a week for 2 weeks at the beginning and end of pond season, then add 2 teaspoons per 200 U.S. gallons (757 L) every 2 weeks. For maximum cleaning power, treat pond water with the liquid algaecide ALGAEFIX, then add POND-ZYME SLUDGE DESTROYER. The bacteria in POND-ZYME SLUDGE DESTROYER will consume the dead algae, for a cleaner, clearer pond. POND ECOFIX: Shake well, and add ½ cup (120 ml) per 500 U.S. gallons (1,890 L) of pond water twice a week for 2 weeks at the beginning and end of pond season. For maintenance, add 4 Tbsp. (60 ml) per 500 U.S. gallons (1,890 L) of pond water every 2 weeks.
