We have had no problems with the fish after using this product for several years, as for the swimming I can't answer that no one has went swimming in our pond.

I have seen no harm to wild life including ducks and fish, unlike copper sulfate. we have used the produce yearly for many years and my children and myself have swam in the pond with no problems. richard

I don 't know about swimming but if you don 't put too much at one time the fish are OK. Just put it in part of the pond at one time.

we used it last year, and we swam in it with our grandchildren and there was no problem. All of our fish are doing well too, even through the hard winter we had here in Ohio. The product cleaned up our pond really well, with no side effects on us, the fish or the plant life we have planted around our pond.

We have never had any problems with fish and Diuron 80. Have a one acre pond and it is the only weed control product I use. My grand children have been swimming occasionly with no ill effects. We do get geese and other water birds and it does not seem to be any problem for them.

I have a 3/4 acre pond. All good for fish,ducks and horses. I threw out half of the 5lb bag with a scoop from the bank down one side. Two weeks later I threw it out from the bank on the other side. Worked great.

No I wouldn't think so. Here is a link to the Material Safety Data Sheet: http://www.alligarellc.com/assets/pdf/DIURON_80DF_MSDS.pdf

We have used Microbe Lift for years in our pond with no harm to plants or the fish. Microbe Lift was able to help keep our pond clear, great product !

I've showered with it no problem. I did jump in the pool with it before I thought about it and immediately took it off with no problems whatsoever. Nike are great about taking care of any problems with the NikeFuel band as I have had it replaced twice because of a problem with the button on the wrist band. Just make sure you read the ins ructions and, as long as you follow them, Nike will take care of any problems.

Not supposed to harm aquatic wildlife which is the reason I purchased for killing weeds adjacent to a trout stream on my property. US Forest service uses this product in Western NC. I sprayed directly on the weeds, not directly in the water. Hope this helps

I think it could get pretty wet and be fine. A commercial shows a guy surfing with it, and a YouTube review shows someone holding it under a running faucet. I wouldn't drop it in the swimming pool for a long period, but I'll bet it could withstand a quick dunking and be fine.

The filter does not go in the water. You can set it on the ground anywhere near your pond! The filter works great< but you need a uv light for perfectly clear water, which we purchased one and for the first time we can see the baby fish, which aren't no bigger than your fingernail on your pinky!!! The best investment we ever made!!!

The packaging doesn't say if it is and I haven't tried it to go swimming or anything yet so I'm sure how well it holds up in waterBut I did use it once and sweat a lot and it started running down into my eyes a bit so I really don't think it would last very long in water. Hope this helps =)

Yes it is and I would not use it for longer than you have to. I recommend upgrading to a hang on the back type filter. I thought I had lost one of my fish and couldn't find it. When I upgraded the filter, I found him. He had swam over the edge of the filter and had gotten stuck in there. Luckily he was still alive. I don't have that problem with the traditional filter.

I have. Not as in swim laps or vigorous swimming or exercising, more like splashed around with my son and played some pool basketball with my hubs. I was worried, but No issues! I even thought maybe it would fill with water, it did not.

It's perfect for an aquarium but a pond is a little to much. Mine is in a 40 gallon aquarium.

Reasonably, and I would trust out for regular swimming. The circuitry is protected by rubber seal, but it really doesn't look all that secure.that said, one of mine gets dunked in a water bowl without problem.

I am not a pro but have used it in my flowering water ponds and have not had any trouble with my filters or pumps. I do not have fish in this pond.

If your fish rest upright rather than laying down, they are probably alright. Mine stopped swimming and I discovered a major kink in the poly hose where the top sits on the tank. Also, I removed the light bulb cover and used needle nosed pliers to break off the plastic restrictor on the poly hose that's connected to the min/max knob. The plastic plate had permanently flattened the hose. The hose ends are not easily accessible so I removed the three screws holding the pump and swung it out so the hose was straight and cut out the flattened part. I inserted hard plastic tubing to replace it and reassembled. The fish are now swimming their hearts out! If your fish rest upright rather than laying down, they are probably alright.

The intent of this filter is to be partially buried next to your pond, with the top exposed to allow you to control the filter, change out tubing, etc. I'm thinking that it may not be 'electrically safe' to partially submerge this filter in your pond, as you definitely would not want the top to go under water or potentially be damaged by water exposure. You may want to send a quick email to the company, as they seem pretty responsive with customer service.

It will float, yes. I really doubt the salt will affect it much more than, say, the dirt from floating it in a pond. I suppose it could shorten the lifespan a bit. It should be fine.

The product says it's safe for plants and fish. I use it in my pond which has both plants and fish and I treat my pond twice a year just to be on the safe side. I haven't lost any plants or fish due to the use of this product. Hope this answers your question.
