How To Apply Algae Defense®
Mix the amount of Algae Defense® and Treatment Booster™ PLUS (if using) with pond water in a tank sprayer according to label instructions. Use a pressurized pond sprayer to spray the Algae Defense® mixture directly onto to the target algae. Treat only up to half of the pond's surface and wait 10-14 days before a second treatment. In hot weather or when fish are stressed, treat only 1/4 - 1/3 of the pond's surface at a time. Over time, the algae will begin to brown and die. Once it is completely dead, use a rake, like the Pond Logic® Pond & Beach Rake, to remove dead algae away to prevent an accumulation of dead algae and muck.
When To Apply Algae Defense®
Algae Defense® should be applied when algae is actively growing. Begin applications when algae first appears. Unless steps are taken to reduce the overall nutrients in the pond, multiple applications may be needed for full season algae control. Use with Treatment Booster™ PLUS for best results.
Restrictions
Do not use in ponds with koi, goldfish or trout, unless carbonate hardness is above 50ppm.

"Algaecide"Felix Felde of Bend, OR
We used Algae Defense with Cide Kick on our pond, and after two applications, the algae is only slightly improved. Unfortunately, we learned that hard way that this stuff kills frogs and tadpoles. ALL of them.
