BLUE POND DYE
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. EcoShade 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. EcoShade is the perfect product for the pond during those hot summer months.
When bottom growing weeds become a problem, use our Blue Colored EcoShade to color your water blue. This will block the UV light from the sun from reaching the unwanted plants in your water area. With out the life-growing properties of the UV light now reduced, the unwanted growth will "starve to death" with out the use of chemical algaecides.
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 oz per 1000 gallons 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.
