There are certain basic steps that must be taken before EcoTreat Clarity is applied to your pond.

Step 1: Remove as much of the blanketweed and algae as is practicable
Step 2: It is essential that the pond is adequately oxygenated using either a pump and/or oxygenating plants
Step 3: If a UV unit is present, turn off the lamp before each INITIAL DOSE is applied. Turn back on 48 hours after the application. The UV unit does NOT need to be turned off during the Maintenance Doses.

Step 4:
Look at the back of the pot or the LINK page, to find out how much Ecotreat Clarity you need to use. Add the required number of scoops to a suitable container (e.g. a jug or bucket) of pond water.

Step 6:
Fill a watering can or bucket with pond water. Give the mixture a stir and then add to the watering can. It is not critical to add all the particles which have sunk to the bottom of the jug.

Step 5:
Stir vigorously to suspend the Ecotreat Clarity in the water (it doesn't all dissolve). Some particles may sink to the bottom - this is perfectly normal. Leave the mixture for 2 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally.

Step 7:
Pour the contents of the watering can over the surface of the pond. Try to do this as evenly as possible. This is less critical in ponds which re- circulate water rapidly.
