How much of this product is needed to clean algae in a 2 acre pond?

Formula is Length x Width x dept x 7.48 = gallons The amount of copper sulfate should never go above 2.0 parts per million(ppm) I use a 2 gallon Hudson sprayer and mix 6 ounces(granulated) per gallon for my smaller rather odd shaped rather shallow 1/4 acre farm pond. This has proved to help eliminate most of the green slime type of algae I have a problem every season. I generally give it a second booster treatment mid-season without any danger to the stocked fish I have in the pond. When mixing the product I use a five gallon plastic bucket(product is very corrosive)and always made sure to strain the mixed product when adding it to your sprayer, I use an old piece of a discarded t-shirt, works perfect. Unstrained it will clog your sprayer tip. The spray should not be a real fine spray but adjusted to more of a splatter type setting.

Your question is not real clear to me. The pond master filter will do the filtering job for a pond of 250-300 gallons. If there is a lot of sunlight on the pond you Will still have an algae problem. A ultraviolet filter not chemicals is the solution for algae.

I'm not sure. Mine was about 800. I used the prescribed amount and it did bring the phosphates down. But I would not use this product again. It plugged my filter. After trying multiple cleaner products [including the one from Natural Chemistry], I finally had to acid wash my filer cartridges to get it out. It took months to to get my filter back to normal.

Would probably work after a couple coats, but how big is the pond? And is there anything in it you don't want soaking in these stinky chemicals?

You need a little less than 3 grams for 1/2 gallon of water, which is about 3/4 tsp, or a heaping 1/2 teaspoon, or a loosely-packed teaspoon. Going by weight is best, but I don't bother. My plants are doing great.

I would use no more than 2 tbsp per gallon of water. If needed increase to 3 for bad infestations

I've been using this for two years in two ponds. So far all"s well as for the fish, snails and plants. Don't have any shrimp, so I can't answer to that.

You will want to just use bleach. It is way less expensive and will do a much better job. Just use at least a 5% to water solution, stronger isn't so bad I sometimes use 50-100%, which will kill the algae. Do not mix bleach and ammonia, that can cause a toxic mix that can kill you. Use a scrub brush and use the least amount of pressure necessary to clean the surface. A "little" TSP (phosFree) might help with the scum if you rinse everything down and the scum is still there. Algae needs three things to grow, phosphates, oxygen and sunlight (over 50 degrees regularly). Bleach kills Algae. You will want to just use bleach.

How many gallons in your pool? Mine is 20000 gal. I used half a bottle of the Kemtek 60. & it got rid of all the algae. Assume yours is beneath the water line. An excellent product.

Penny....this product will aid in the removal of phosphates from any pool that uses a filtration device. If there are no phosphates, then there will be no algae

I use 2 packets for a 1000 gallon pond, so if you do the math.....8 packets. Works great. Wait for all of the Spring pollen and stuff dropping from the trees to be over first.

All you need is 1 oz. I use 3-4oz's to 21/2 gallons of water - fantastic product. I probably use to much but if the car or household widows are prewetted the dirt comes right off without scratching the clear coat.

I just sprinkled it in my pond about 3 cups full, we have about a 3/4 acre pond and that worked good.

Probably not. I don't know how many gallons my pond is, maybe 90-100. It does a good job, but when the water starts really warming up I have to clean the filter every other day. I think you need something bigger.

The best way to buy quantity would be to use Barley Straw extract. The product is made by Crystal Clear in a 2.5 gallon container that treats 160,000 gallons of water. But if this is a natural pond fed by a spring or stream with a flow going out of it, I don't have confidence that Barley straw or extract will accomplish your goals. I would recomend the airmax Pond Logic "Clear Pack" with ClearPond, Muck Away and perhaps also with Algae products. If you have questions or want a total treatment recommendation for your pond please contact me.

it depends on the sq. feet you are covering. For 2000 sq. feet I use 2 gal. water with about 2.5 grams of product(1.28 grams per 1000 sq-ft) So 15000 sq-ft @ 15 gal water would use about 19 grams or about 2/3 oz of product (28.35 grams to an oz)(based on the calculations from the label) also: you can go to Google maps and zoom into area you want to cover. Use their measuring tool to get the square feet....pretty cool! Hope this helps

Don't know the answer, but I am more than satisfied with this product. I used it on various algae spots on two homes and some fencing and it did exactly as advertised. In fact, I am ready to buy another batch.
