So based on the chart on the bottle, you are basically treating your pond to the 4 foot depth. 2.4 gallon per acre for 4 feet. You have a 1/2 acre and are spraying 1/2 gallon per half of the pond or 1 gallon for the entire pond.

The part that isn't clear is how are they determining the depth. Is this the depth of the algae growth, or is this an average depth of the pond. How can you determine how deep algae is growing?
