Professional Pond Treatment Block - Comprehensive Water Quality Solution

Pond Boss The Block is a powerful, all-in-one pond treatment solution designed to dramatically improve water clarity, eliminate noxious odors, and maintain optimal water quality in ponds and water features. This innovative block formulation provides continuous treatment as it slowly dissolves, releasing beneficial bacteria and enzymes that break down organic waste, reduce harmful compounds, and create a healthier aquatic environment for fish and plants.

Advanced Multi-Action Formula

The Block works through multiple mechanisms to restore and maintain pond health. It significantly reduces noxious odors caused by hydrogen sulfide, decomposing plant material, and fish waste while simultaneously breaking down organic sludge that accumulates on the pond bottom. The formula reduces ammonia and nitrogen levels, improves dissolved oxygen, and remains effective across a wide range of pH conditions and water temperatures, making it suitable for year-round use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know which size block I need?
A: Calculate your pond volume in gallons. The 1 lb. block treats up to 320,000 gallons (1 acre-foot), while the 5 lb. block treats up to 1,600,000 gallons (5 acre-feet). For reference, a pond that's 50' x 50' x 4' deep holds approximately 75,000 gallons and would use the 1 lb. block. Larger farm ponds or lakes require the 5 lb. block.

Q: How long does one block last?
A: Each block dissolves slowly over approximately 60 days, providing continuous treatment throughout that period. For best results, replace the block every 60 days during the active pond season (typically spring through fall). In warmer climates with year-round pond activity, continue 60-day treatments throughout the year.

Q: Is The Block safe for fish, plants, and wildlife?
A: Yes! The Block is safe for fish, aquatic plants, pets, and wildlife when used as directed. The beneficial bacteria and enzymes work naturally to break down organic waste without harming pond inhabitants. However, always follow dosage instructions based on your pond volume.

Q: Where should I place The Block in my pond?
A: Place The Block in an area with good water circulation, such as near a waterfall, fountain, or aerator. This helps distribute the beneficial bacteria and treatment compounds throughout the pond. Avoid placing it in stagnant areas or directly on the pond bottom where circulation is poor.

Note: Treats up to 320,000 gallons (1 lb.) or 1,600,000 gallons (5 lb.). Treat every 60 days. Safe for fish and wildlife. Results vary based on conditions.
