Immediate String Algae Remover

Does not contain copper! When used as directed, AlgaeOff is great for backyard ponds containing koi, goldfish, and grass carp. Will not harm animals when diluted in water.

CrystalClear AlgaeOff is an EPA registered granular algacide that works on contact! AlgaeOff utilizes the latest in oxygen technology to remove and kill string algae quickly and efficiently on rocks, stream beds, pond liners, and waterfalls.

In addition to string algae control, CrystalClear AlgaeOff adds oxygen to your pond and removes odors. Great for use in ponds containing koi and goldfish.

Quickly eliminate string algae on contact!

Identify where the string algae infestation is within the pond. Then apply the prescribed amount directly to the algae in dry form. A slight fizzing will occur as the product starts to work. Seconds later you should see algae completely removed from the area treated.

String algae, a type of filamentous algae, forms long green strings that cling to rocks and pond liner. String algae grows in moving water and can often be found in waterfalls and stream beds.

When used at the first sign of string algae, AlgaeOff will help keep problems from growing out of control. Heavy accumulations of algae may take two or more applications for complete removal.

How to Apply

Water Gardens:

Apply AlgaeOff algae remover directly over the infested area in granular form. Surface should be wet or water should be applied immediately following application. For waterfall applications, turn off waterfall pumps and allow AlgaeOff algae remover to sit on the waterfall for a period of 20 minutes and then turn pumps back on.

Skim the dead algae or organic material that rises to the water's surface after treatment. This will keep dead organics from sinking to the bottom of the pond. Dead and decaying organics provide a food source and additional nutrients for future algae blooms. Allow 48 hours between consecutive treatments.

For liquid applications, please follow all label instructions. Due to solubility, AlgaeOff is not as effective with this application method.

Ponds & Lakes:

Treat floating or submerged algae mats evenly from shoreline out. If the majority of your pond is covered during hot weather or when treating heavy growth, it is important to treat no more than 1/4 of your pond at a time and wait the full 14 days before re-applying. This helps lower the risk of fish loss during hot weather or when treating heavy growth. Heavy growth may require re-treatment.

When to Apply

AlgaeOff algae remover should be used any time string algae has accumulated on rocks, streams and waterfalls. Water temperature has no effect on AlgaeOff algae remover but higher temperatures enhance effectiveness. Great for use in ponds containing koi and goldfish.

Precautions

After application, do not allow undiluted AlgaeOff granular algaecide granules to remain in an area where humans or animals are exposed. Make sure all granules have been sprayed with water to fully dissolve.

Usage Near Wildlife

To ensure that this product will be not harm any wildlife, we recommend diluting the powdered AlgaeOff granular algaecide in a 5 gallon bucket prior to entering the pond. This product can only harm wildlife if the granular is left undiluted / doesn't come in to contact with water so as long as this product is diluted in the water, birds and pets can drink out of the water feature without harm. We recommend keeping the lid on the product when not in use to prevent birds or other animals from digesting the granular out of the container.
