How to more safely apply chemicals.

When adding chemicals to your pond or lake take some care to distribute the product to various locations in the pond. Doing this will make the products disperse quicker and more evenly throughout the pond. It also poses less danger to pond life by minimizing the strength the a chemical in a particular area.

However, you may want to leave some area around natural run off or spill ways. This will make sure that you do not waste your chemicals and also will allow the natural flow of the pond to take chemicals through the entire length of the water area.

If you are willing to take the time to dilute the chemicals then you'll help make the applications more safe and assist in the distribution of the chemicals. Using a boat to move in while applying chemicals also aids in this process.

Best of luck. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at info@pondcaredirect.com.
