UltraClear Flocculant 12 oz (MPN 41225)

UltraClear Flocculant is a chemical formulation designed to clear pond water by causing tiny particles to clump together through a process called flocculation. This allows the particles to settle to the bottom of the pond or be easily filtered out. It can also remove phosphates from the water. Unlike UltraClear Biological Pond Clarifier, which takes days to weeks to show results, UltraClear Flocculant works within hours. However, it's important to note that while it removes unwanted particles, it also removes beneficial bacteria. Therefore, we recommend using UltraClear Biological Pond Clarifier after using any chemical clarifiers. The dosage instructions for UltraClear Flocculant are straightforward. For every 1,000 gallons of pond volume, you should use 2 ounces of the product. This is equivalent to roughly 1 teaspoon for every 100 gallons. To apply it, mix the recommended amount with one gallon of tap water and distribute it evenly across the pond surface. For best results, use pond aeration. It is advisable to apply the flocculant during the late afternoon, as overnight, the clumped particles will form smaller ones that can be easily filtered out using a fine floss or pad filter. In severe cases, you may need to reapply the product up to three times within a week of the initial application. Additionally, it is recommended to reapply UltraClear Flocculant on a monthly basis or as needed. It should be noted that chemical-based clarifiers, including UltraClear Flocculant, remove beneficial bacteria from the pond. Therefore, it is important to use UltraClear Biological Pond Clarifier one day after treating with the flocculant to restore the balance of beneficial bacteria in the pond.
