Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Renovating a Pond or Lake? lime kiln dust (LKD) to clear water in ponds

Has anyone every heard of or done this? I know someone who has used this In a few ponds that dramatically cleared the water in a few days. He is trying to talk me into using it in my ponds (Which do need lime).

What is in the material?

Here is a link to the MSDS: [url=http://www.greerlime.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/GreerLime-MSDS-LimeKilnDust.pdf][/url]

That suff is great for the land. I have used in on the land. It is very very fine because at one point it was a vapor. It is pulled off to make concrete harder and a better product. It is very high in calcium and potassium. It has a PH of 11 so do not get it in your eyes or wet on your skin.

It is so fine that it got into the spindles of the front end of the tractor I used to load the stuff and seized them up. Had to smash the spindles apart sand off the rust and grease/re assemble them.

Super reactive. You can use 10X less then what is recommended for ag lime.

IT is so fine is acts like a liquid so is very hard to handle. If you raise the PH to fast too quick you will have some fish that will die. If no fish in the pond then giver and get it done. Super cheap and strong product.

Cheers Don.
