UltraClear Flocculant 4 oz (MPN 41220)

UltraClear Flocculant is a chemical formulation designed to clear pond water by causing small particles to clump together via flocculation. This process allows the clumped particles to settle to the bottom of the pond or be easily filtered, effectively removing them from the water. Additionally, Flocculant is capable of removing phosphates from pond water. Its fast-acting formula works within hours to produce noticeable results, unlike UltraClear Biological Pond Clarifier, which may take days to weeks. However, it is important to note that chemical clarifiers, including UltraClear Flocculant, also remove beneficial bacteria along with other pond particles. Therefore, it is recommended to use UltraClear Biological Pond Clarifier after the application of any chemical clarifier. To achieve the desired outcome, it is advised to use 2 ounces of Flocculant for every 1,000 gallons of pond volume (or approximately 1 teaspoon for every 100 gallons of pond volume). The recommended dosage should be mixed with one gallon of tap water and then evenly distributed over the pond's surface. For optimal results, it is recommended to apply the Flocculant during the late afternoon. Overnight, the particles will form smaller particles that can be easily filtered out, making a fine floss or pad filter ideal for this purpose. In case of severe issues, the Flocculant can be reapplied up to three times within one week of the initial application. Additionally, monthly reapplication may be necessary as needed. However, it should be noted that the use of chemical-based clarifiers will result in the removal of beneficial bacteria from the pond. Therefore, it is crucial to follow the Flocculant treatment with the application of UltraClear Biological Pond Clarifier one day after the treatment with Flocculant. This will help restore and maintain the necessary balance of beneficial bacteria in the pond.
