FAQs
Can I use AlGo Greenaway if I have fish in my pond?
Yes, when used according to the manufacturer's instructions, it is safe for pond flora and fauna.
Why is it important to check KH levels?
KH acts as a buffer in your pond water. If it is too low, the treatment can cause drastic pH fluctuations that may be harmful to your fish.
How often can I apply this treatment?
Apply as needed to manage algae blooms, ensuring you always check the water parameters before each application.
Is this product effective against all types of algae?
It is highly effective against suspended green water algae, as well as slime and string algae.
Should I turn off my UV clarifier when using this?
It is generally recommended to keep your filtration systems running, but follow the specific guidance on the packaging regarding accessory equipment.
Troubleshooting
The pond remains green after treatment
Verify your pond's KH level using a test kit; if the KH is too low, the product will not function correctly. Ensure the pond filter is clean and properly maintained.
Uncertain about the dosage
Measure the volume of your pond carefully. If you do not know your pond size, consult your pond installation records or use a flow meter on your water hose when filling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before applying the product, it is critical to use a test kit to measure the KH (Carbonate Hardness) of your pond water. Do not apply the product if the KH is too low, as the treatment may destabilize the water chemistry. Always shake the bottle well before measuring your dosage according to the pond volume requirements listed on the label. Distribute the product evenly across the surface of the pond to ensure it reaches all areas. Keep the bottle stored in a cool, dark place, and ensure it remains out of the reach of children and pets at all times.
