Summit Clear Water Barley Bale 2 pk (MPN 130)

To use the Clear Water Barley Straw Pond Treatment, it is recommended to place the bale on the surface of the pond, preferably near a waterfall or filter outlet. It is important to ensure that the bale does not sink to the bottom of the pond. If the bale does sink, it should be removed from the pond for 24 hours to allow it to dry, and then it can be put back in the pond. It takes about one month for the bale to become effective, so it is important to be patient. After 6 months of use, the bale should be replaced for continuous treatment. For continuous treatment, after 5 months, a new bale should be placed next to the old one. Then, at the 6 month mark, the oldest one should be removed. Keeping the barley straw bale floating on the pond year-round is recommended for the best results. The bale works better when it is kept off the bottom of the pond, so it should be added to the area of the pond with the most circulation and water movement. It is also worth noting that one package of the pond treatment can treat up to 2,000 gallons of water.
