Blue Clear Algaecide is a concentrated liquid that eliminates excessive string algae, cyanobacteria blooms (blue-green algae) or harmful bacteria like E.Coli. Algaecide is a controlled pesticide product that may require a local permit for applications or to purchase depending on your province.
- Blue Clear Algaecide is specially formulated for managing algae.
- With the proper dosage, in less than 48 hrs, all algae will be dead leaving a clear pond for up to 3 weeks*.
- NSF 60 – Drinking Water Certified and licensed by Health Canada.
- Safe for use with most fish species. At a proper dosage, algaecide will not harm most fish populations. Use of algaecide is especially discouraged when fish in the carp family are present such as Koi or Goldfish.
- Can be used in any closed-water systems such as town fountains, small basins and ponds that do not flow into another body of water.
*It is important to note that algaecide is a temporary solution that will not fix underlying reasons for excess algae such as high nutrients, hot temperatures, or lack of shade. Moreover, the death of the algae will cause nutrient overloading since the splitting of the algae cell walls will release their nutrients into the water, fuelling the next generation of algal growth. To prevent regrowth and for longer-lasting results, we recommend adding a dosage of our Bacterius® products, such as Bacterius® Equinox , Bacterius® 5B or Bacterius® 1B after any algeacide treatment. These beneficial bacteria will be able to quickly consume these excess nutrients as well as ensure a healthier pond after treatment.

How it works
Algaecide treatment blocks several metabolic processes essential to the survival of algae and cyanobacteria, such as cell membrane permeability, respiration and reproduction. The result is the death of the organisms due to the malfunctioning of their metabolism. Once the cell walls of the algae are compromised the nutrients essential to their reproduction and life cycle are released freely into the water of your pond or basin. These 'free' nutrients are easily absorbed by all sorts of biologically active life forms such as beneficial bacteria, plants, phytoplankton and by any remaining algae which may result in rapid regrowth. This free release of nutrients is easily controlled by applying a dosage of Bacterius® Equinox at the same time as the algaecide solution.

READ THE LABEL BEFORE APPLYING BLUE CLEAR ALGAECIDE
Standard Approved Dosages
Apply 1 liter of Blue Clear Algaecide to 60 m³ of water for a concentration of 1 ppm. For algae control aim for 0.5-1 ppm of (Cu++) in water.
Apply 1 liter of Blue Clear Algaecide to 60 m³- 600 m³ of water. Water condition and extent of active micro-organisms present determine the effective application rate. Add 1.6 ml of Blue Clear Algaecide per 1000 L (1 m³) to increase copper by 0.1 ppm.
To obtain a level of 1 ppm in small ponds, lagoons and dugouts, apply 25 ml Blue Clear Algaecide to 1500 L (1.5 m³) of water.
To obtain a level of 1 ppm of copper in large ponds, lagoons and dugouts, apply 1 L Blue Clear Algaecide to 60 000 L (60 m³) of water.
Industrial/commercial: apply 0.5-1 L per 60 m³ of water
In the presence of fish, do not treat more than half of the pond at one time.
Calculating the volume of a pond is always an approximation. Be cautious and underdose your first treatment if you are not certain.
| Desired Copper (Cu++) concentration (ppm) | Dosage in ml/m³ |
| 0.1 ppm | 1.6 ml/m³ |
| 0.2 ppm | 3.2 ml/m³ |
| 0.5 ppm | 8 ml/m³ |
| 1.0 ppm | 16 ml/m³ |
