The Garden Solutions Water Butt Treatment is designed for environmentally conscious gardeners seeking to maintain a clean, odour-free water supply for their plants. It effectively clarifies water and reduces algae growth, though it requires regular application to remain effective. This natural treatment utilizes UV blockers, a flocculating agent, and beneficial bacteria to ensure water is safe for wildlife and plant use, preventing common issues like algae blooms and surface scum.

For best results, apply the treatment regularly, especially during warmer months when algae growth is more rapid. A general guideline is to re-apply every 4-6 weeks, or as needed based on water clarity and odour.
Yes, the Garden Solutions Water Butt Treatment is 100% natural and safe for all wildlife, including pets, and for watering plants and crops.
Absolutely. The natural formulation ensures that the water is safe for watering all types of plants, including vegetables and fruits.
The treatment uses UV blockers to prevent anaerobic bacterial action, which is the root cause of algae growth, and beneficial bacteria to maintain a healthy water environment.
The 100ml bottle is typically designed for up to 1000 litres of water. Always refer to the specific dosage instructions on the product packaging for your water butt size.
The treatment introduces beneficial bacteria and discourages the growth of harmful anaerobic bacteria. It does not sterilize the water but creates a balanced ecosystem.
While overdosing is generally not harmful due to its natural formulation, it is best to stick to the recommended dosage for optimal results and cost-effectiveness. If significant overdosing occurs, top up with fresh water if possible.
Allow 24-48 hours for the flocculating agent to work fully. If cloudiness persists, ensure the correct dosage was used and consider adding another dose if the water butt volume is higher than initially estimated.
Ensure the correct dosage was added for the water volume. For very heavily soiled water butts, a manual clean might be necessary before treatment. Re-apply treatment after cleaning.
The treatment prevents new growth; it may not instantly remove established thick algae. Regular application and manual removal of existing heavy growth will help. Ensure the UV blockers are not obstructed.
