Moving forward 1 55# bag of SeekLeak part one will treat a half acre pond 2-3x throughout the season to reduce turbidity. I apply it in my circulator current and it’s distributed throughout my 2 acre pond. Grass carp and crayfish tend to increase turbidity starting in late May and sometimes it gets down to 12” on secchi. 24 hours following a linear polymer treatment it improves to 28-36”. Application from my dock takes 20 min and I repeat every 6-8 weeks throughout the season when Grass carp and crayfish are active. I think accumulated linear polymer is helping serve as a tackifier in pond basin locking silt and organic material in place as turbidity seems to be slowly decreasing over the past couple seasons - I think that’s a reasonable hypothesis, anyhow. If anyone wants to discuss feel free to reach out anytime - I’d like to see how other ponds respond with different ph, alkalinity, etc so we can build some turbidity mitigation science together.
