UltraClear Flocculant 32 oz (MPN 41230)

UltraClear Flocculant is a chemical formulation designed to clear pond water by causing small particles to clump together, a process known as flocculation. This allows the clumped particles to settle to the bottom of the pond or be easily filtered out. The Flocculant is effective within hours, providing a faster result compared to UltraClear Biological Pond Clarifier, which may take days to weeks to show satisfactory results. It is important to note that all chemical clarifiers, including UltraClear Flocculant, will also remove beneficial bacteria along with other pond particles. Therefore, it is recommended to use UltraClear Biological Pond Clarifier after applying any chemical clarifier. The suggested dosage for UltraClear Flocculant is 2 ounces for every 1,000 gallons of pond volume or approximately 1 teaspoon for every 100 gallons of pond volume. The dosage instructions for UltraClear Flocculant involve mixing 2 ounces of the product with one gallon of tap water and then distributing it evenly over the pond surface. It is recommended to apply the flocculant during the late afternoon, as overnight the particles will form smaller particles that can be easily filtered out. If using a filter, it is best to use a fine floss or pad filter. In cases of severe problems, it may be necessary to reapply the flocculant up to three times within one week of the initial application. Monthly reapplications may be necessary as needed. It is important to be aware that chemical-based clarifiers remove beneficial bacteria from the pond, so it is advised to use UltraClear Biological Pond Clarifier one day after treating the pond with Flocculant.
