Available in 20 and 50 pound containers.

GreenClean Liquid works immediately to rid ponds and other bodies of water of algae. It is a non-copper base algaecide and is completely biodegradable.

GreenClean Pro has been developed for ponds one-quarter acre or larger due its concentrated level of active ingredients. One fifty pound bag will treat up to 34 foot-acres. Recommended use is 8 to 25 pounds per acre foot every four weeks as a preventive measure.

Phosclear - Crystal clear water is achieved by reducing phosphates in the water and Phosclear, an aluminum sulfate bonds with insoluble particles in the water becoming too heavy to remain suspended and falls to the bottom.  Ideal usage is one fourth of a pound to 1,000 gallons of water and results usually remain for up to five weeks. For Phosclear ro work effectively the water’s pH must be at or below 8.2 before beginning treatment. Four pound jars are available in cases of six. Also available in a 40-pound pail.

Pond Algae (3 Common Types)

Filamentous algae is most common, growing in mats and strings.

Planktonic algae causes green water, it has millions of cells that cloud together.

Chara algae is weed-like, it grows like a carpet along the bottom.


Cattails & Other Emergent Plants - Emergent plants grow around the perimeter of a pond in shallow water with all or most of their foliage above water. Examples are Cattails, Bulrush, Reeds, Purple Loose Strife, Pennywart and Pickeralwood.

Pondweeds - The pondweed family has over a dozen varieties with these four being the most common: Sago, Clasping Leaf, Curly Leaf, Large Leaf.

Elodea - This plant grows in thick clumps and is usually not a big problem, the leaves are in whorls of three around the stem.

Duckweed & Watermeal - Duckweed is hard to control, it forms a thin layer over the surface in calm ponds. It will not grow well in moving water so use of a surface aerator will help in controlling growth.

Waterlilies - Waterlilies can become a problem in many ponds, they grow off of a large central root system (much like popal trees). Some growth is great for shade and cover for fish, but when left unchecked they will overpopulate quickly.

Eurasian Milfoil - Spreads very easy since fragments of plant can re-root and grow. Do not try to remove by raking.

Other Less Common Weeds: Include Naiad, Coontail, Bladderwort, Hyrdilla, Parrot Feather & Water Hyacinth.
