Product Description
This 100% natural barley straw bale from AquaPond Care is for the treatment of string algae, green water and blanket weed in ponds. The straw is a natural safe algae treatment for wildlife and pets, and is completely fish & plant friendly. The bales are supplied in a net bag that should be left on during treatment this will prevent the bale drifting apart and potentially clogging the filtration system, it also allows easy retrieval and removal once the 3 month period is over. Incredibly easy to use, simply throw a bale in the pond, the straw naturally hinders the development of algae and also destabilises blanket weed causing it to break down to be more easily removed by the filter. Barley straw works by producing a variety of chemicals that prevent the growth of algae. These chemicals do not kill algae, instead they prevent it from growing, this is why barley staw is often called 'algae control' and not 'algae treatment' or an 'algaecide'. You shouldn't buy barley straw if your pond already has a sever algae problem, instead you should buy it as a preventative at the start of the spring/summer months or following an algae removal treatment to prevent re-occurence. If your pond already has an algae problem you should remove some manually and then use an algaecide like AquaPond Care Green Water or Blanket Weed Treatment to treat it. One bale treats 9,000 litres for 3 months Directions for use Calculate the ponds volume in litres using the following: [Length x width x average depth (in metres)] x 1000 Remove the clear outer bag and label, DO NOT remove the net bag. Place the bale in the pond, we recommend positioning it in an area of water flow to speed up the effectiveness of the barley straw bale. The barley straw bale will slowly start to breakdown and should take effect within 2 to 6 weeks dependent on the water temperature and time of year. To prevent further new algae growth we recommend removing the dead algae as it appears. Treat with a sludge removing product, this prevents oxygen levels dropping which may harm fish and the release of nutrients which stimulate further algae problems.
