Troubleshooting

Algae is not disappearing immediately after the first dose

The product is designed to limit new growth rather than instantly melt all existing weeds. Continue to manually remove the weeds and apply the second dose after 5 days.

Pond water remains cloudy after treatment

Cloudiness is often caused by decaying organic matter. Ensure you are removing dead algae and consider using a separate sludge treatment to clear accumulated debris.
