My pond is only 110 gal. How much would I use to treat in the Fall?

There is a dosage chart on the box. The first dose is the largest then you decrease the dosage after that. You would probably use 1 to 1 1/2 ounces for the initial dose. It's hard to overdose but it's best to stay with the chart. This product has a two year shelf life, so assuming it hasn't been sitting in the warehouse for a long time this should last you a long time. I have over 1000 gallons in my pond so this lasts only one season, I just use the leftover liquid with my Spring/Summer start up. I've had a pond and Koi for around 15 years and Microbelift is my go-to product. Good luck.

On the side of the box it gives you details on the amount to use. I use the largest amount the first week, then the smaller amount each week thereafter. I can't exactly give you the dosage because I have used all the product and no longer have the box.

You would use a very small amount-4 oz. in first month, then 2oz. each for next 2 mos. produce comes with measuring cup.

you could, but you would need a lot of it. and i have a suspicion that it would need to be cured pretty often in a pond. so get 2x what you need for one filter. that way you have an extra one to put in while youre recharging the other

Instructions are on the packaging. You apply every 4 weeks. There is a small 10ML/1oz cap you pour it into. First application is 4 times the normal monthly treatment amount. The amount depends on the size of the pond. I think first application is 8 oz for &lt;= 200 gallons , then 2 oz each month thereafter.

I would use no more than 2 tbsp per gallon of water. If needed increase to 3 for bad infestations

I use 2 packets for a 1000 gallon pond, so if you do the math.....8 packets. Works great. Wait for all of the Spring pollen and stuff dropping from the trees to be over first.

According to the diagram on the box, the manufacturer suggests a 250w unit for a pond up to 1,000 gallons. Anything over 1,000 gallons they suggest 750w.

I purchased the 55w uv lamp...for up to 5000 gal pond. Probably too big for my pond, but the water is crystal clear now!

The 10-watt model is rated for up to 1500 gallons, the 20-watt for up to 3000 gallons (http://www.amazon.com/Pondmaster-02910-Violet-Clarifier-10watt/dp/B00025YVGW/ref=pd_sim_lg_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=1R49KXXSFNEBR4QAJTRK ). These lights work only on planktonic algae, not string algae. If your pond is in direct sunlight, has a severe planktonic algae problem, and has no pond plants to compete with the algae for nutrients, you may want to consider the 20-watt model; otherwise, the 10-watt model should be suitable for a 650 gallon pond. If your pond has fish, ideally you should use a pump that will recycle the entire volume of the pond every hour; that is, a pump rated for no less than 650GPH (gallons per hour). If your pond filter is positioned higher than the water surface of your pond, the head height of the pump will need to be considered, because it reduces the flow of the pump. You would likely find it very helpful to visit a store that sells Koi and pond supplies. Owners of those shops usually have a lot of experience building ponds and dealing with water quality issues, and they are happy to help you purchase the right equipment.

For tank sprayer spot application: cool season grasses - 1.5 - 2.4 oz of product to one gallon of water, warm season grasses 0.75- 1.8 per gallon. May not be suitable for St. Augustine grass!

My pond it's about 750 gl. I am using a 5/8" house from the pump ( 1350 US GPH , 5000 LPH ) to the filter and a 1 1/2" from the filter to outside, to the fall. I do not know why algae occurring in the path of the waterfall if it has an ultraviolet lamp. It doesn't make a great fall either. I asked why this is this happening and the answer was that it needed a more powerful pump.

My pond is an outdoor pond. I would honestly say that the filter system is definitely sufficient. I wouldn't mind having a slightly larger one though.

i have about a 2000 gallon pond and only use about 3 scoops once every two - three months

I have a 700 gal oval Pond, 33 inches deep, no waterfall, not sure if type I have would be enough. Love the one I have , keeps water crystal clear, if treated correctly I would look into filter depending on depth, and gallons you stated

Depending on you're pond size I'm using a 1600 gpm on my 1800 gallon pond. Water is crystal clear year round as it is in the sun all day. We did use the blue pond dye and the fish really like it and it is algae free. Good luck

My pond is only 60 gallons and it was pretty powerful for mine at 60. Not sure about 200 gallon though.

The amount you would use will be dependent on the turf you are treating on. According to the label it will vary for warm and cool season grasses and they range from 0.75 to 2 ounces per 1000 sq/ft in no less than 1 gallon of water. It can be applied by tank or hose-end sprayers.

Yes, I have used it in a 16,500 gallon pond. It will work and absorb ammonia. Also used it when adding water to the pond, because if you break down chloramine with carbon, you get rid of the chlorine but then are left with ammonia. this will absorb the ammonia left over. Also good if you just have too much ammonia . It can be recharged when it stops working, lots of good articles about recharging it with salt are on the web.
