Fountain Algaecide and Clarifier - 8oz - Kills and Inhibits All Types of Algae Growth, Formulated for Small Ponds and Water Features, Treats up to 8,000 Gallons

I bought this to use for a small fountain I made using a galvanized tub. My fountain is solar so it gets a ton of sun, so, since I didn't expect any birds or plan for fis, I bought this. Low and behold, one day a robin landed on it, but since there was no grate or anything for it to stand on, it flew away. I wanted to attract more birds, so I bought a small barbecue grate and affixed it temporarily. Then it occurred to me, I might need a new chemical. I checked and it's apparently OK for birds just not fish, so I'm good. As far as how well it works, it works well. I started out with a clean tub and pump, filled it with just a capful of chemical, which I only add more about every week or two. It works great! No algae at all. Pump needs cleaning less, just from some fuzzies, otherwise I really like it. We took the little bubbler off and added a spray head, now fingers crossed a bird or two will come.

This works very well. I used 1/4 tsp in my small (approx. 5 gal) fountain and by next day the algae was cleared up and water was crystal clear. I have a small 3 gal "bookshelf" aquarium with water circulation and plants only, no fish, and used 1/8 tsp to clear up the algae in it. Worked great, killed the algae and the plants in the tank are perfectly fine.

I didn't test this product; however, buyer beware - if you have less than 10 or so regular-sized bird baths, this isn't a product you will need. The measuring specs specify less than one ounce for 5 gallons of water. This bottle will last a very long time, and you will either end up with a lot of waste or buckets of water sitting around for a while.

This works so well at keeping my solar fountain/birdbath clean. I used another product last year and it seemed to make the red algae worse instead of helping. This year I found this brand again and the fountain/birdbath is doing great again! So happy not to have to be emptying and scrubbing with bleach this year!

This algaecide/water clarifier works and is so easy to use. I squirt out the appropriate amount into my fountain and it keeps the water crystal clear without harming any of the wildlife that stop by for a sip. Worth every penny; I’ve purchased this multiple times!

Works well and you do not have to use a lot. I clean the bird bath, refil it and only put a few drops in it each time. Stays clear other than bird doo-doo and seeds from the bird feeder.

I was looking for something to curtail the algae that builds up in my birdbath. In the ad for this product there is a bird and it says do not use around fish. When it arrived there was no picture or mention of birds on the bottle and measurements for use were for fountains, the smallest amount being 1/2 oz. per 250 gallons. I have no idea how much to use or is even safe for a 3 gallon birdbath. ☹️

The media could not be loaded. This stuff is amazing!! I used to have to.change the water and clean out the pump everywhere. After 3-4 days my fountain would have that thick slimy algae everywhere. I got so tired of scrubbing it everyweek!!! I bought 2 bottles of this about a month ago and I have not cleaned the water out once. The water is still crystal clear. It's actually amazing what a difference this liquid makes! I'm literally shocked with the results. Plus since the water is staying clean I don't have to clean put the pump that often. I was cleaning the pump every 3 weeks cause it would get so clogged from the algae that bzry any water was coming out. It's been a month and I haven't cleaned the pump once and its still coming put hood. I probably won't have to clean it for another 2 weeks or so. So compared to every 2 week to every Month in a half is HUGE! My only complaint is the bottles are tiny!!!! I wish they made bigger bottles and that the price wasnt so high for that tiny bottle. I'm almost all out of the 2nd bottle so I'll have to repurchase again within the next week. So 2 bottles has lasted me a little over a month. But this is GREAT stuff!!!!
