Rainman, Tell me a little bit about Alum.
Can it be bought in liquid form to make it easier?
What would the cost be for liquid or powder form. I have
1 1/4 acre pond that averages 6 feet deep.
Where to purchase? Thanks,
Kelly Duffy with Helena Chemical is in the Houston area, and supplies powdered and granular Alum at a really good price. Liquid Alum is not cost effective, and unless a chemical supplier delivers, you will need a CDL with HazMat endorsement to transport/pick up.
Costs for dry Alum vary, but a "good" price, retail, is from $.60-$1.00 per pound. Hydrated Lime runs about $8-$12 per 50 pound bag.
Read through the how to parts of the Alum kicks clay butt thread to get comfortable with mixing and application if you DIY it.
