Product Information
Full details
Colombo Algisin is a specialized treatment designed for pond owners looking to eliminate persistent blanket weed and restore water clarity. It is ideal for those managing formal garden ponds who need a fast-acting solution that works by nutrient deprivation. While highly effective at clearing unsightly weed growth within 14 days, it is important to note that this treatment should never be used in wildlife ponds containing spawning frogs or toads, as its chemical composition is not suitable for these environments.

FAQs
Is Colombo Algisin safe for my fish?
Yes, it is safe for fish and pond plants, provided the dosage instructions are strictly followed.
Can I use this in my wildlife pond?
No. You should not use Algisin in ponds where frogs or toads are spawning, as it is harmful to them.
What is the dosage rate?
The dosage is 15ml (one measuring spoon) per 300 litres of pond water.
How long does it take to clear the weed?
You will see noticeable results in a few days, with the pond generally clear of weed after 14 days following two treatments.
Do I need to do anything after adding the treatment?
Yes, you should manually net out the dead blanket weed as it dies off to help your filter manage the remaining particles.
Why do I need a second treatment?
The second treatment is necessary to target any weed that may have survived the first application, ensuring complete removal.
Troubleshooting
Blanket weed is not dying off after 14 days.
Ensure the water volume was calculated correctly and verify that the filter is running to assist in nutrient cycle breakdown.
Water appears cloudy after treatment.
This is often due to dying organic matter. Ensure you are netting out as much dead weed as possible and check that your filter media is clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before adding Algisin, calculate your total pond volume accurately to avoid over-dosing. Ensure your pond filtration system is running efficiently, as the filter plays a vital role in processing the breakdown of dead plant matter.
Store the product in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and keep it out of reach of children and pets. Because the product contains Monolinuron, always wear gloves when handling the liquid to avoid skin contact. Never exceed the recommended dose, as balance in the pond ecosystem is essential for your fish health.
