PHOSCLEAR®

PHOSCLEAR® - buffered Aluminum Sulfate treatment for phosphate control and water clarity How much PHOSCLEAR® is needed to treat a pond? Alum is best applied at 25 to 50 PPM concentration.  This equates to 0.25 lbs (1/2 cup) of product per 1000 gallons of water. For example, a 5000 gallon pond would use 2 ½ cups (5 X ½) per treatment.

How is the product packaged?

Phosclear® is available in 4 lbs plastic jars or 40 lbs (five gallon) pails.

Is the product safe for fish and aquatic plants?

When used as directed, the product is safe for fish and aquatic plants.  It effectively controls phosphate levels and agglomerates suspended dirt particles to leave the pond sparkling clear!

How is the product applied?

The pH of the pond must be checked!  We recommend that pH be between 6.5 and 8.2.  The reason is that – in very alkaline ponds (above pH 8.2) the Aluminum in these products can react with the alkaline groups to form Aluminum Hydroxide which can be toxic to fish.

Phosclear® can be sprinkled as a powder over the water surface or introduced through a waterfall or skimmer intake.  It is best to get the product circulating throughout the pond.

The water will initially turn milky white but begin to clear rapidly in 1 or 2 hours. Within 24 hours the pond should be significantly clearer than before treatment.

How often do I need to apply the product?

For ponds with high phosphate levels or a lot of suspended dirt particles, additional treatments may be required after the first application. We recommend additional treatments every three (3) days until desired results are achieved.

Thereafter, the products should be applied every 4 to 6 weeks as routine maintenance.

Use PHOSCLEAR® to keep ponds clean and clear!
