Summit Barley Straw Pond Treatment 2 pk (MPN 125)

Place the barley straw bale on the surface of the pond, ideally near a waterfall or filter outlet. It is important to prevent the bales from sinking to the bottom of the pond. If by any chance the bale sinks, it should be removed from the pond and left to dry for 24 hours before being put back. It takes approximately one month for the bale to take effect and start treating the pond. After 6 months of use, the bale should be replaced with a new one. To maintain continuous treatment, after 5 months, a new bale should be placed next to the old one, and then the oldest bale should be removed at the 6 month mark. For optimal outcomes, it is recommended to keep the barley straw bale floating on the pond all year round. To maximize the effectiveness of the Clear Water Barley Straw Pond Treatment, it should be added to the area of the pond where there is the most circulation and water movement. The bale works best when it is kept off the bottom of the pond. Each package of the product is capable of treating up to 2,000 gallons of water.
