Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Muddy water Alum Kicks Clay Butt!

I treated a pond 10 days ago with Phosclear. Application was 0.25#/1,000 gallons of water. Before applying, visibility was 10" due to clay turbidity. After application, 2 days later I swung by the pond to check because the owner said it was a little bit clearer. Visibility was 36". It was impossible to find alum here without ordering it by the ton, so I went with what I could get. I spread it out dry, tossing the granules out over the pond with the wind (per directions). pH was 8.6 to start, 7.9 upon completion, and 2 days later it was 8.1.

More expensive than alum for sure, but it did the trick!
