From the manufacturer
Before using
Make certain that the pond has vigorous aeration, i.e. a fountain or aeration device to avoid fish loss due to low oxygen levels. When algae is controlled and removed by the filter or settles to the bottom of the pond, the oxygen level may drop to harmful levels if adequate aeration is not provided. In warm weather, pond water carries much less oxygen.
- Will not harm fish, plants, surrounding wildlife and pets when used as directed
- Do not use with freshwater crustaceans, including shrimp, crabs, and lobsters
API POND ALGAEFIX Algae Control
Why use API POND ALGAEFIX Algae Control?
Algae growth can appear as “green water” blooms, “pea-green soup”, filamentous algae on plants, or floating mats (blanket weed). Algae grows when there is an excessive amount of nutrients in the water, usually in spring prior to plant growth, and in the summer in direct sun.
API POND ALGAEFIX Algae Control works fast to control algae growth and keep ponds, water gardens and fountains clean and clear.

CALCULATE THE VOLUME OF YOUR POND BEFORE USING
To ensure accurate dosing, determine pond volume before use. You can use the following:
- • For Square and Rectangular Ponds: Avg. length (feet) x Avg. width (feet) x Avg Depth (feet) = cubic feet of water. Cubic feet of water x 7.5 = number of gallons
- Example: A pond with a length of 8 feet, width of 6 feet and an average depth of 2 feet has approx. 720 U.S. Gallons.
- • For Round Ponds: Top Diameter x Bottom Diameter x Height x 0.785 x 7.5
- Example: 3’TD x 3’ BD x 2′ H x 0.785 x 7.5 = 106 U.S. Gallons.
How to dose API POND ALGAEFIX Algae Control
Do not overdose!
Add 1 teaspoon (5ml) for each 50 U.S. gallons (190 L) or a ¼ cup (60 ml) for each 600 gallons (2,275 L). We calculated some possible dosing examples for you in the aside chart.
- Repeat dose every 3 days until algae is controlled
