I have a new 6 acre pond. After building I used 1 ton alum and 1/2 ton quick lime for a clarity of almost 28 inches. Then we got 5 inch rain that broke through the silt fences and undid all our good work and the clarity dropped to 8". Today we put in another 1ton alum and 1/2 T lime but the water clarity didn't change from the 8". The air temp was 40-50 degrees, I do not know the water temp. The alum has been stored under a tent for 5 months. There were a few chunks but mostly power. We mixed it like before in a 100gal tank before spraying. It was harder to get it in suspension. Does the water temp render it inactive or does it get old?? Thanks for any and all advice Wayne Charlotte NC
