to put in our 1/2 acre pond do you have to mix it with water first.
1741971
The quick answer is no, but the best answer is to mix about 1/2 to 1 cup (varies with amount of weeds) with about 2 gallons of water then add a 'wetting' agent like (believe it or not) 1 1/2 ounces (about 1 shot) of joy liquid soap. That will break the surface tension of the water and spread the diuron over a larger area before allowing it to drop to the bottom. This will vastly increase the coverage area and improve the overall job while using less material.If the intent is to totally clear out the pond, then throw a half pound in dry and it will mix. As I have mentioned to others, brace yourself for an algae bloom from the dying weeds. It will need to be treated as well when it comes.

I just sprinkled it in my pond about 3 cups full, we have about a 3/4 acre pond and that worked good.

Yes it distributes better if you mix with water. We used a pump hand sprayer.

I would imagine it depends on the water you put into it. If your local water turns or grows algae quickly...

No -- the stuff you put in needs water and air (and "green" stuff) to turn into compost, so rainwater is a welcome addition.

Instructions are on the packaging. You apply every 4 weeks. There is a small 10ML/1oz cap you pour it into. First application is 4 times the normal monthly treatment amount. The amount depends on the size of the pond. I think first application is 8 oz for &lt;= 200 gallons , then 2 oz each month thereafter.

Yes you can mix the nutrients in the same water and then water your plants. Not sure if that's what you were asking for.

I just got the herbicide yesterday, & I'm reading the directions now. It clearly states to NOT mix oil & water as it apparently affects the efficacy. So, I suppose, you need to choose using one or the other.

It goes in the tank and mixed with the water (make sure to put the water in first), the side slot can also be used but it will not as effective.

No as you need a pond pump connected to it to get the water moving thru the uv filter

i think it will not work because the pond water will dilute it and make it useless and it will be bad for the aquatic life ,,

it takes very little time if it is put in before the algae starts growing. I generally put it in April, when the weather starts to get nice. I have a 3/4 acre pond and I use 2 bags. I have had no problems with it and it does a good job keeping the pond clear all summer. if you have other questions let me know.

Yes, that is exactly why I purchased mine. My inground pond holds about 100 gallons of water. As earlier stated, you might need to remove some water from your pond after cleaning as it constantly fills up while you are vaccuming.

I know, I only mix with water first in the middle of winter when the water is cold cause it dosen't mix well, but in the summer when the waters warm and the pool is active I just pour it in around the borders, I guess it s just to much to put on the bag LOL

NO, I don't think so. What volume is your pond? Also, with the moving water it keeps dispersing the heat throughout the pond. I think that you are good... Just make sure that the unit doesn't evaporate too much water and get hung-up fully exposed to the air (totally out of the water) cuz it can melt.

Yes. I normally add one oz. per gal. of water. If it is mature weeds you may want to go up to 2oz. per gal.

It is not necessary to mix this with water. You only need to broadcast (disperse somewhat evenly) directly into your pool.
