Pond treatment for algae, blanketweed or green water control

It works by restricting sunlight penetration through the water column, limiting the energy available for algae growth while remaining harmless to fish, plants, and other aquatic life. and Blanketweed Control Ideal for preventing unsightly algae growth in ornamental and swimming ponds.
