Hi all! I need good sound advice on using pond dye. And I know that I can find it here. I have a half acre pond that is spring fed, and in direct sunlight all day. It is in a open field so it has fantastic natural aeration, it keeps a level 9 or 10 oxygen. Every year it seems that I have a problem with algae blooms. And I would like that to stop this year. There are 0 fish in the pond it ranges from 15 to 10 feet deep. It is used for swimming in the summer. The pond is located in northern Vermont and is currently covered in ice. I guess my question is, what are the pros and cons to pond dye and is it right for me? And how can I keep my pond from having another algae bloom this year? Any input would be fantastic!!

Should work just fine.
Only two cons are:
1. If you discharge water you will be wasting it and could have issues down stream with someone that doesn't want it. Some states prohibit it if it ends up in other waters.
2. It can suppress your food chain somewhat if you have fish, but obviously that is not an issue with you.
Just used some that is half the price of Aquashade due to only needing a quart vs. a gallon. It's available through Hoosier Pond Pros a sponsor of this website. The blue seems to be identical to Aquashade.
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
