EcoBarley Pellets
Barley straw…without the mess or the unsightly look of bales, pillows or pads. Designed to decompose quickly producing humic acids which soften pond water and reduce negative effects of phosphate. Barley may also buffer pH and control some alkalinity, depending on level and length of use.
How Does Barley Work?
The process is not well understood, but it thought that as the straw decays in the presence of oxygen (and possibly sunlight), chemicals are released or produced that help clear water
- EcoSystems has taken the well known power of barley straw and packaged it into easy to use quick acting pellets.
- It can be used inside most filters and skimmer systems, as well as set off to the side of the pond. Includes mesh bag for easy application.
- Tap into the natural degrading power of barley to help create a clear, unfouled pond.
- Application Rates: 1 lb/1500 gallons of total water
- 5 lb. Tub treats up to 7,500 gallons
What Does Barley Do?
We have sold many units of this product in the past few seasons, and have great feed back from many customers that with the proper use of barley can led to much cleaner, clearer water in their ponds.
Is Barley A Form Of An Algaecide?
No, it is not registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency as a pesticide, and therefore no claims are made regarding it's use in preventing, removing, controlling or eliminating algae. This is an all-natural product, and does not contain any know pesticides, chemical additives, or even "ingredients"- it is just barley straw.
Calculations for Water Volume of Ponds , Streams & Waterfalls
Pond Water Volume
(Length x Width x Average Depth) x 7.48 = Water Volume of Pond in gallons
1 cubic ft. = 7.48 gallons of water
Example: Pond Measures: 11’L x16’W x 2’AD
(11'L x 16'W x 2'AD) x 7.48 = 2,634 Gallons of water
(The addition of rocks and gravel will lessen the actual water volume beacuse of displacement)
Water Volume in a Stream
(Length x Width x Depth) x 7.78 = Water Volume of Stream in Gallons
Example: Stream Measures: 15'L x 3'W x 2"D
First Calculate Depth in feet not inches: 1" = 0.12' so ... 2"D = 0.24'D
(15'L x 3"W x 0.24'D) x 7.48 = 81 Gallons of Water
Water Volume in Waterfalls = Same as Streams
Use these formulas to help calculate how much product to purchase & use. Always read and follow the individual product's label instructions)
