Think Purity 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.
- For over 20 years, Think Purity has been a proven, reliable solution 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 of our Bacterius® products, such as Bacterius® C or Bacterius® 1B or Bacterius® 5B or Bacterius® Equinox after any treatment with algaecide. 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 bassin. These 'free' nutrients are easily absorbed by all sorts of biologically active lifeforms 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 C at the same time as the algaecide solution.

READ THE LABEL BEFORE APPLYING THINK PURITY ALGAECIDE
Standard Approved Dosages
Apply 1 liter Think Purity Algaecide Solution to 60m³ of water for a concentration of 1ppm. For algae control aim for 0.5-1ppm of (Cu++) in water.
Apply 1 liter of Think Purity Algaecide Solution to 60m³-600m³ of water. Water condition and extent of active micro-organisms present determine the effective application rate. Add 1.6ml of Think Purity Algaecide Solution per 1000L (1m³) to increase Cu by 0.1ppm. To obtain a level of 1ppm in small ponds, lagoons and dugouts, apply 25ml Think Purity to 1500L (1.5m³) of water. To obtain a level of 1ppm of copper in large ponds, lagoons and dugouts, apply 1L Think Purity to 60 000L (60m³) of water.
Industrial/commercial: apply 0.5-1L per 60 m³ of water
In the presence of fish, do not treat more that 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 | 1.6ml/m³ |
| 0.2 ppm | 3.2ml/m³ |
| 0.5 ppm | 8ml/m³ |
| 1.0 ppm | 16ml/m³ |
