Treating Stubborn Koi Pond Algae

Do you have a koi pond that has green pond water resembling pea soup?

If so GreenClean FX Liquid Algaecide is the answer. It’s fast acting, cost effective and will not affect the pH level of your koi pond. GreenClean FX is a “Green” alternative to nasty Chlorine and Copper chemicals and will not harm the environment. It is an activated peroxide liquid algaecide that restrains and stops algae-causing conditions in ponds that works at once, oxidizing algae cells killing them on contact. GreenClean FX breaks down into water and oxygenates as it biodegrades, leaving no residual effects behind in the environment. It is safe for your koi, other fish, pets and children.

The recommended curative treatment is 1-2 tsp. for every 50 gallons of pond water every 3 days until your pond algae is under control. Once pond algae is under control, apply once a week as a preventive measure.

For best results apply in the early morning under sunny, calm conditions to the area of the pond with the greatest water flow to facilitate fast effortless mixing. Please note, during the summer months when water consumption and temperatures are high apply more often.

It is also beneficial to remove stringy algae from your pond to help lessen the load of decaying organic matter in your koi pond.

GreenClean FX is federally registered with the Environmental Protection Agency.

Effective koi pond algae control

Highly-prized for their beauty, koi fish ponds are an aesthetic delight and an oasis of relaxation for many.  Unfortunately, many property owners who invest significant time and money in setting up and maintaining koi ponds are often robbed of its pleasures through the growth of unsightly koi pond algae which muddies the pristine water and obscures the view of the breathtakingly beautiful koi fish.

Now, however, koi pond owners can effectively control koi pond algae using GreenClean Granular Algaecide, which works quickly to prevent and eliminate algae in water bodies such as ponds, water gardens, lakes, lagoons, aquaculture systems, and waterways, and on a wide variety of surfaces such as statues, fountains, watering troughs, irrigation systems, floors and walls.

GreenClean’s revolutionary formula utilizes powerful oxidation chemistry that begins working within 60 seconds to break down planktonic algae blooms and filamentous algae cells on contact, killing them within hours of application!

Ideal for use in water bodies that support sensitive fish and wildlife populations, GreenClean is an environmentally friendly algaecide that is EPA registered, OMRI-approved for use with organic crop applications, and, unlike many other algaecides, is approved for sale and use in the green-friendly state of California.  GreenClean’s modern chemical formula produces no toxic residues, but breaks down into oxygen and water within one hour of application, stimulating healthy eco-systems through enhanced oxygenation of lakes and ponds, making it the perfect alternative to older, toxic copper and formaldehyde algaecides.

Those requiring more potent, commercial-grade algaecides should consider GreenCleanPRO, the next-generation granular algaecide that is twice as powerful as GreenClean!
