FAQs
How quickly will I see results?
You should notice the water beginning to clear within 24-48 hours after application, as the algae clumps together.
Is this product safe for my fish?
Yes, Nishikoi ClearWaters is completely safe for all pond fish species and other pond wildlife.
How do I calculate the correct dosage?
The recommended dosage is 100ml of product per 1,000 litres (approximately 264 gallons) of pond water.
What if my pond filter is not powerful enough?
If your filter struggles to remove the aggregated algae, you can easily scoop out the larger clumps with a fine pond net or use a pond vacuum.
Can I use this in a garden water feature without fish?
Yes, it is safe for use in any ornamental pond or water feature, even those without fish or wildlife.
Will this prevent algae from returning?
ClearWaters treats existing green water conditions. To prevent future algae growth, consider addressing underlying causes like excessive nutrients or sunlight.
How should I store the product?
Store the bottle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and ensure the cap is tightly sealed.
Troubleshooting
Water remains green after treatment
Ensure the correct dosage was used and properly diluted. Check pond water parameters (e.g., phosphate levels) that might be contributing to algae growth. Consider a second application if necessary, following the dosage instructions.
Excessive clumps accumulating and blocking filter
Reduce the dosage slightly for future applications or ensure your filter is cleaned regularly. Manually remove large clumps with a net or vacuum to prevent overwhelming the filter.
No noticeable clumping of algae
Verify the product is within its expiry date. Ensure even distribution of the diluted treatment across the pond surface. Poor water circulation can affect performance.
