Over the years the bottom was increasingly covered in soft mud and some water weeds started to grow in the swimming area. In2020 we used a one time application of Bacterius Muck at the end of the swimming season and the following summer everyone commented on how much more clear the water was and how in the swimming area the bottom feltlike sand instead of muck. The fish and frog who live in the pond were still healthy and the swimming area was so much more enjoyable! The Bacterius Muck was very easy to apply in the areas where the treatment was needed and we are so pleased with the results we are repeating the treatment with Bacterius Muck again.

Algae and submerged aquatic weeds need sunlight to grow, therefore by limiting the amount of UV light that enters the pond, you are dealing with one of the factors that contribute to algae growth and unwanted plant growth in your pond. Canadian Pond liquid pond dye is commonly used by hotels, golf course, commercial premises and everyday pond owners. It will not stain birds, fish, plants, swimmers, pets, or wildlife when applied at the recommended rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"360\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/646614506?h=891e100cde\" title=\"vimeo-player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have clients from coast to coast who use pond dyes as part of their regular pond maintenance regime. Apply early in spring when the ice leaves the pond. CanadianPond dye will immediately block the UV rays needed for many of those unwanted aquatic plants. Farmers in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan use our CanadianPond pond dyes in dugouts to keep them weed free. Pond owners from Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes prefer Natural Blue as it combines the blue and black dyes to get a deeper colour that reflects light sharply and blocks the light needed for plant growth. By applying the dye regularly throughout the growing season, important stages in plant growth including reproduction and tuber development can be weakened. This is why we recommend regular dye applications even into the fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFarm ponds, canals, reservoirs, tanks and drainage systems can be severely impeded with clogged aquatic weeds. An overabundance of unwanted aquatic weeds can impede flow and reduce the amount of water entering canals or critical drainage systems. Too many weeds can alter habitat and reduce indigenous fish species. They can also interfere with boat navigation and reduce aesthetic value. Repeated applications of CanadianPond AQUA or CanadianPond ONYX in closed systems will interfere with the reproduction cycle of many troublesome aquatic weeds. For best results, this product should be used with beneficial pond bacteria and lake bottom aeration. Often the weeds are there because there is an abundance of organic sediments and nutrients that make conditions for growth ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--EndFragment--\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilters sunlight and provides an aesthetically pleasing, natural appearance to pond water;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlocks up to 40% of the sun’s rays to effectively slow the growth of existing algae and formation of new growth;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeeps water temperature cooler;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContributes to algae and aquatic weeds reduction in garden ponds \u0026amp; small lakes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--StartFragment--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne 1L (32oz) bottle will treat an entire surface acre (43,560 \u003cspan\u003eft\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e ) up to 6 feet (1.8 m) deep or 7,500\u003cspan\u003em\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e of water;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e500ml (16oz) bottle will treat half of a surface acre (21,780 \u003cspan\u003eft\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e) up to 6 feet (1.8 m) deep or 3,750\u003cspan\u003em\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e of water;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuper-concentrated formula (\u0026gt;84% pure pigments);\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWill not stain plants, pets, birds or swimmers when applied at the recommended rate;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCanadianPond AQUA (Lighter blue), CanadianPond ONYX (black) and CanadianPond COBALT (Darker Blue) are not harmful to the environment;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompletely free of pesticides and herbicides;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarmless food based dye will not stain swimmers, fish, plants or other wildlife when used as directed;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to apply and lasts 4 to 6 weeks, depending on water flow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan be mixed quickly and evenly throughout the pond with the use of a fountain, aerator or similar mechanical device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe guarantee that the product has been manufactured under strict quality control standards that ensure optimal product quality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/canadianpond.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SS-CPD-Liquid-EN-0819-2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eTech Sheet \u003c\/a\u003e(PDF)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--StartFragment--\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/canadianpond.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/SDS_CPD-Liquid_19082020_EN.pdf\" title=\"Liquid Pond Dye\"\u003eSDS \u003c\/a\u003e(PDF)\u003c!--EndFragment--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDosage and Application\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!--StartFragment--\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 bottle will a pond with an area slightly larger than an acre  (7,500 m³, 2,000,000 gallons).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, add to multiple spots around the edges of the pond or use in conjunction with aeration.

In some cases, the loss of oxygen can be so pervasive as to cause massive deaths in fish populations. The stress caused by low water quality can also reduce the fish's growth and make them more sensitive to disease. The micro-organisms contained in Bacterius® 1B feed on the waste produced by the plants and animals in the water body. The by-products caused by this natural transformation are carbon dioxyde, water and a protein-rich biomass of bacteria. Fish and invertebrates, such as zooplankton, snails, crayfish and other members of their respective families, all feed on this bacterial biomass.

They work best when they are tossed near your aeration system, floating fountain or in-flowing water source or cascade. The movement of the water helps “steep” the bacterial pouch, much in the way a tea-bag is helped to release its content by adding gentle agitation. If there is little to no surface movement or aeration system, the pouches should be cut open and mixed in a bucket with pond water and then splashed uniformly across the pond surface in much the same way liquid bacteria is administered. If you do not have an aeration system or any other area of consistently flowing water, it is best to apply your bacteria in windy conditions. The wind will helps disperse your bacteria and give your pond some more oxygen for them to breathe. Sometimes, the easiest solution can be to simply throw the pouches on the water's surface and let nature do the rest.

A pond which is beginning to show the initial problems inherent with murky water and algae growth, but has not yet progressed to an alarming state of eutrophication requires a milder initial treatment, followed by a maintenance dose. For ponds and water gardens that are relatively healthy a low maintenance dose is added on a two or three-week program depending on environmental factors and achieved results, to prevent any nasty surprises. Either way, every pond is different and their treatments must be adapted to the results observed after their first applications as well as to the urgency in fixing the problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: Bacterius®\u003c!--EndFragment--\u003e is composed of natural bacteria, that were especially created to restore and maintain the quality of water-based ecosystems.
