UltraClear Flocculant 1 Gal (MPN 41235)

UltraClear Flocculant is a chemical solution that effectively clears pond water by causing tiny particles to clump together through the process of flocculation. This enables the particles to settle at the bottom of the pond or be easily filtered out. Additionally, the flocculant also eliminates phosphates from the pond water. Unlike UltraClear Biological Pond Clarifier which takes days to weeks to show visible results, UltraClear Flocculant works within hours. However, it's important to note that while chemical clarifiers like UltraClear Flocculant are effective in removing pond particles, they also eliminate beneficial bacteria. Hence, it is recommended to use UltraClear Biological Pond Clarifier after using any chemical clarifier to restore the beneficial bacteria. The recommended dosage is 2 ounces of Flocculant for every 1,000 gallons of pond volume or approximately 1 teaspoon per 100 gallons. The dosage instructions for UltraClear Flocculant are as follows: Mix 2 ounces with one gallon of tap water and evenly distribute it over the pond surface. For optimal results, it is recommended to aerate the pond. It is best to apply the flocculant during late afternoon as the particles will form smaller particles overnight, making it easier for them to be filtered out. In case of severe problems, the flocculant can be reapplied up to three times within one week of the initial application. Monthly reapplication may be necessary depending on the situation. However, it is advisable to be cautious as chemical-based clarifiers remove the beneficial bacteria from the pond, so it is important to use the UltraClear Biological Pond Clarifier one day after treating with the Flocculent.
