We have never us karmex in our pond. We got this as a suggestion from a co worker of my husbands, it did kill some of the weeds and most of the algae. But after we used this we had about 20 fish die and all the fish in the pond kept coming up to the top because they couldn't get enough oxygen. we have since quit using it.

I've never used karmex. I talked to a man I know at a feed store about duckweed on my pond that looked like you could walk on. He told me about Alligare. I have a 1/2 acre pond. I walked around the edges with the 5 lb bag and a scoop. It worked very slowly. Five weeks later, no weeds. Very Happy.

I'm sure it would, same active ingredient. But, it does not have an aquatic label and I personally would recommend against that use.

yes, have been using it for many years and it works the same as Karmex. I have used both for many years. Richard

Yes it works great and does not hurt the fish. I have used it yearly for 11 years to kill the weeds. We swim and fish and have dogs in it , no problem. Mine is large 3/4 acre and 25 feet deep. Just do half of the pond at a time if you have fish as it sucks the oxygen out of the water, and make sure you don't get it on anything else, as it will kill it.

Yes, worked perfectly. I put it in (1.5 bags) for about an acre pond, in April, just as the algae was growing. Within a few days the algae turns dark and drops to the bottom and disappears.

Yes. I have a large pond and frequently can't find the transmitter but it reads ok. Very convenient.

I think that is how big my fish pond is and it works great. The only other recommendation I would have is to get a filter box for the pump so doesn't get stopped up with debris.

We have an outdoor Koi pond..4,7000 gal. Works great. YES or came with à bulb.

I have a 5.5 gal. and it works. You do have to prime it first. Just tip it to the side until it starts and then you can keep it at any angle. Be careful not to go over the line or the battery compartment will get water. Also, be careful of nosey fish. Mine always have to see what I'm doing. If they get sucked up, they will go into the impeller. I rigged up a screen so I didn't suck up the smaller fish.

Yes it works. You need to have a big enough water bucket. Test it beforehand.

I believe so. It works great in our yard at my koi pond, quirrels and small birds also set it off. It also keeps our dog from drinking pond water.

Yes it should b working good in that size pond. You need to check the filter and the setup definitely.

It's a fairly large unit and processes a large amount of water every hour... I could see it working for a small pond.

I used in 60 gal tank, I think no problem used on pond, it work very good on my 60 gal tank water fitter.

All of my reseach shows yes, however I used it as a benefical bacterial to brew and multiply in a compost tea. It seems to have done well in that medium. It is more ideally designed for hydro setups.

I use my pump for filtering pond water. It is very effective on a 1000 gal pond. I believe it would behave equally well. It pumps 1500 gal per hour. If your numbers are correct than it would cycle your pool water once every hour. You will be running it more than you wish though. Purchase a 2nd filter for quick change. Wash the old one off.

I think the pump is adequate depending on the application (fish, plants, etc.) I have about a 1500 gallon pond with about 20 koi with a separate filter pump. Once I added this air pump (ap-20), there was a definite improvement in water quality and the fish seemed to be much healthier and less frequency in cleaning the filters of the water pump.

I don't have a personal experience using it under water and for a fish pond. According to the Thermabond web site it will probably work as long as you clean off the algie really well. They don't guarantee it, though. I suggest you read the instructions on their website about cleaning the surface and squeezing the water out from between the tape and the surface. In the reviews on Amazon for Thermabond kgraham used it for a koy pond with success. Didn't say anything about the long term effects on the koy.

My pond is about 800 gals and this unit is good for aeration not filtration. You need to also add a good volume pump and separate filter unit.

Works great to keep my 50 gallon pond crystal clear with 3 large comet and bog plants. I would recommend using a pond aerator as well.

Not well, you will have to constantly wait for it to pump up. I've got a 20 gal and in my opinion it's borderline capable.
