Alright, the equations have confused my tired brain, so please let me know about how much alum and aluminum sulfate should be added in a one acre lake with average depth of about5 feet?
Apparently x amounts of alum and 1/2x of aluminum sulfate is added to xx gallons of water making slurry and sprayed on the surface???
I have a 20 gallon sprayer and can dispense from my pontoon boat.
I am ready to use. Please advise..
You will need a much larger sprayer. When Rainman and I treated a clients pond last year we used a 275 gallon tote that had water continually pumped into and out of it. We first sprayed the hydrated lime into the pond, then the aluminum sulfate. It took us about 4-5 hours to treat the whole 7/8 acre pond using that method. He stayed on the bank mixing and pumping, I was in a boat with the hose spraying the pond. It was non-stop the whole time.
