Natural Pond Tint
Tints Water a Natural Tea Color
Filters sunlight and helps cool water
Aquascape Natural Pond Tint is a completely non toxic dye with added humic and tanic acids derived from natural organic compounds found in nature.
These compounds will safely help keep pond water clean, clear and cool.
Ideal for use in the spring, when pond plants have not started growing and shading water from sunlight or in the summer, when water temperatures start to rise. Also helps reduce fish stress in spring when fish have no place to hide from the sun and predators
- Turn your waterfalls or garden pond a beautiful tea color.
- Non-toxic, safe for fish and plants.
- Safe for fountains
- Non-Staining Food Grade Dye
- 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
- 1 pump treats up to 100 gal./378 liters
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)
