Highly recommended by the Centre for Aquatic Plant Management, barley straw treatment has been used since the 1990s in the UK for controlling algae in canals, lakes, and reservoirs. Unlike chemical treatments, this natural solution is harmless to pond life and higher plants. Barley straw prevents new algal growth naturally, maintaining a stable environment without the need for algaecides which can adversely affect oxygen levels and aquatic life.

In shallow ponds, other plants can thrive as the algae diminishes, helping to sustain the ecosystem by absorbing nutrients that algae would otherwise use.

Directions for Use:

Remove any visible algae before introducing the pad. Place the pad in an area with good water circulation. In cases of heavy algae infestation, double the quantity used. Pads can be placed in a filter if submerged and without obstructing filter operation. Maintain pump operation 24/7 for optimal results. Allow 2-3 weeks for activation and add a new pad every 3-4 months as needed.
