Blue Pond Tint
Our Pond Dyes turn your pond an alluring shade of blue to help prevent photosynthesis from occurring with in the pond. This will help keep algae from forming, provide safety for fish from predators and will help keep water cool in the hot summer days. Blue Pond Tint is a mild dye and will not be an “overpowering” dye that you will not be able to see your fish. It is designed to act more like car window tint and not a complete cover. Blue Pond Tint is the perfect product for the pond during those hot summer months.
- Turn your waterfalls or garden pond a beautiful shade of blue.
- Non-toxic, safe for fish and plants.
- Safe for fountains

- Use to block UV rays from reaching unwanted plants growing from the bottom of your pond. The sunlight cann't penetrate to those unwanted plants and they starve to death from the lack of benificial UV light.
- Filters sunlight & helps cool the water!
- Provides shade in spring when plants are not growing
- Added enzymes help balance the pond ecosystem
- 8.5 oz./250 ml - treats up to 2,500gal./9,460 liters

The blue color creates a soothing visual picture for your body of water. This product is used at many golf courses around the world as well as at numerous miniture golf couses. The blue color also keeps people from tasting your water. This product is harmless to fish and wildlife.
For smaller ponds, use at the rate of 1 pump per 100 gal./378 liters of water.
The dye can last from 4 months down to 1 week depending on rainfall, water flow through the pond (or retention time of the pond) and the desired shading you want to keep. On an average: 4-6 weeks. We have local retention ponds that require a boost every 2 weeks throughout the season. Usually it is the smaller ponds that have the potential of rainfall and watershed diluting the dye quickly. Just add more dye to get the desired shading back. Adding more dye throughout the season will keep your pond looking great.

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)
