In addition to whats been said re: bacterial introduction to ponds give consideration to the application process. As individual microorganism have minimal lateral movement the success of a bacterial treatment is greatly enhanced if the product used is a true concentrate allowing it to be diluted and
applied over large surface area via sprayer or applied in the motor wash of a boat. Simply opening a gallon jug and dribbling the contents along the shoreline will not adequately innoculate the water body. Additionally throwing a water soluble packet will only treat an area no more than 10-20 feet laterally unless ther is some movement in the water to disperse the material further. The greater the dispersion the quicker you will see results. It has been my experience that a product that replicates itself every 36 hours will deliver visible results in less than 30 days ( in waters containing a minimum of 2.0 ppm dissoved oxygen.)A successful seeding program as described will effectively control nutrient therby retarding massive blooms and lessening the use of algaecides in hot summer months. Should you have further questions email me.
