Product Information

Full details

NT Labs Barleyclear is ideal for pond owners seeking a natural, low-maintenance method to manage green algae and blanket weed without harsh chemicals. By mimicking the decomposition process of traditional barley straw, this liquid treatment provides a fast-acting, fish-safe solution for clearer pond water throughout the season. While it is highly effective at inhibiting new growth, users should note that it works best as a preventative measure and may require consistent application to maintain optimal results during the warmer months.

FAQs

Is NT Labs Barleyclear safe for my fish?

Yes, the product is formulated to be completely fish-safe when used according to the dosage instructions.

When is the best time to start using it?

You should start applying it in the early spring before water temperatures rise to prevent algae from taking hold.

Do I need to remove the water filter while using this?

No, you can keep your filtration system running. In fact, good circulation helps the product work more effectively.

How often should I re-apply?

For best results, continue regular applications throughout the entire pond season to maintain the inhibitory effect.

Will this harm my water lilies or other plants?

No, Barleyclear is safe for use in ponds containing aquatic plants and lilies.

Troubleshooting

Algae growth continues despite application

Check your pond volume calculation and ensure the dosage is accurate. Also, ensure there is adequate water circulation for the liquid to disperse.

Blanket weed mats remain in the pond

Barleyclear inhibits growth; it does not kill existing thick mats. Manually remove the weed, then treat with the liquid to prevent regrowth.
