Sanco Industries Fountain Algaecide & Clarifier 8 oz — Clears Green and String Algae, Non-Staining

Sanco Industries Fountain Algaecide and Clarifier is an 8-ounce concentrated treatment designed to quickly eliminate and inhibit multiple types of algae in small ponds and decorative water features.

Designed for ornamental fountains, urns, and small pond systems without fish, this concentrated formula controls green water, string and hair algae, and blanketweed to restore clarity and reduce unsightly growth. The non-staining, non-foaming liquid simplifies maintenance routines and can be used periodically to keep water features looking clear and well-maintained.

How fast does this product clear algae from small water features?

Results vary by severity of algae and turnover rate, but visible improvement often appears within a few days. For heavy infestations, follow the recommended dosing schedule until control is achieved.

• Initial treatment: dose every three days until algae is controlled.
• Maintenance: use 0.75 oz per 1,000 gallons every five days.
• Treats up to 8,000 gallons from a single 8 oz bottle when used at maintenance rates.

What types of algae does it target and how should I apply it?

The formula targets green water algae, string/hair algae, blanketweed and other common pond algae types. Apply the product directly to the affected water as directed, focusing on areas with visible growth and circulating the water where possible.

• Works on suspended green water and attached filamentous algae.
• Apply to surface water; avoid overdosing to prevent damage to plants or wildlife.
• Do not use in systems containing fish — this product is not safe for aquarium or pond fish.

Is this algaecide safe for surrounding plants and wildlife?

When used exactly as directed, the product is formulated to be non-hazardous to plants near treated water and to avoid staining or foaming. However, it is explicitly not safe for fish, so take steps to exclude aquatic animals from treated water during application and until conditions are confirmed safe.

• Non-staining, non-foaming when used per label instructions.
• Use only as directed to protect surrounding plants and animals.
• Keep pets and wildlife away from treated water until it has stabilized.

How do I maintain clear water after initial treatment?

After achieving control, adopt a routine maintenance schedule and combine physical cleaning with periodic dosing to prevent recurrence. Regular skimming, pump and filter upkeep, and partial water changes will extend time between chemical treatments.

• Maintenance dosing: 0.75 oz per 1,000 gallons every five days.
• Continue weekly or as-directed treatments after initial control phase.
• Complement chemical treatment with mechanical removal of mats and debris.

Who is this for: Sanco Industries Fountain Algaecide and Clarifier is intended for homeowners, landscapers, and property managers who maintain small ornamental ponds, fountains, and water gardens that do not contain fish. It's best for situations where visible algae reduces appeal or clogs equipment and where a concentrated, non-staining solution is preferred to keep decorative water clear and presentable.
