FAQ
How much area does one quart cover?
One quart of this ultra-concentrated formula treats one acre of water 3-6 feet deep, equivalent to a full gallon of standard pond dyes.
Is this safe for fish and wildlife?
Yes. PondScape Concentrated Blue Dye is nontoxic and completely safe for fish, wildlife, pets, and aquatic ecosystems when used as directed.
Can I swim in the water after applying the dye?
Yes. Once the dye is fully dispersed throughout the water, it is safe for swimming, irrigation, and other recreational uses.
How does pond dye help control algae?
The blue tint filters sunlight penetration beneath the water surface, reducing the light available for photosynthesis. This helps limit the growth of algae and unwanted aquatic vegetation naturally.
How long does the dye last?
Duration depends on water flow, rainfall, and environmental conditions. In static ponds, the dye can last several weeks to months. Ponds with significant inflow or outflow may require more frequent applications.
Can I use this with other pond treatments?
Yes. This dye is compatible with most aquatic algaecides and herbicides, making it an excellent addition to comprehensive water management programs.
Will this stain rocks, liners, or fish?
When used at recommended concentrations, the dye should not permanently stain pond liners, rocks, or fish. However, temporary staining may occur on porous surfaces during initial application.
How do I apply the dye?
For even distribution, dilute the concentrated dye in a bucket of water before pouring it around the perimeter of your pond or lake. This ensures uniform color throughout the water body.
