Overview

Algae Defense has been created to provide rapid results and can be applied directly to problematic algae and chara. Algae Defense treats floating and bottom-growing algae without water use restrictions. It is ideal for freshwater lakes, drinking water reservoirs, and game fish ponds. Pond owners can instantly utilize water treated with Algae Defense for recreational purposes, drinking, and irrigation.

Reactive treatments such as algaecides, herbicides, and mechanical tools can help control unwanted weeds or algae and are a crucial step in the Airmax Ecosystem, a simple 3 step approach to pond and lake management. The Airmax Ecosystem is the industry-leading method to achieve a clean, thriving aquatic ecosystem. Learn more about the Airmax Ecosystem.

When to Apply

Target active, growing algae with Algae Defense. The plant will absorb the active ingredients in Algae Defense, killing it entirely.

How to Apply

Mix the desired amount of Algae Defense and pond water per label directions. Using a pressurized sprayer, spray the Algae Defense mixture directly onto the target algae. Add Treatment Booster Plus to Algae Defense for best results. Over time, treated algae will begin to brown and die. Once it is entirely dead, rake the dead algae away to prevent plant decay and pond muck accumulation.

Water Use Restrictions

We do not recommend using Algae Defense in ponds with koi, goldfish, grass carp, or trout unless carbonate hardness is above 50 ppm.

State Restrictions

Algae Defense can not be shipped to Alaska, California, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, or Canada.
