Pond and lakes treated with Pond Patrol™ bacteria are generally treated with an initial dose and then maintenance doses every 2-4 weeks. However, the "cleaning" process can be accelerated by doubling application rates if you desire. All Pond Patrol™ products are safe for use with animals, plants, fish and people. When comparing other brands to Pond Patrol™ bacteria, be sure to ask what the bacterial count is.

Application Rates:
All bodies of water are treated by surface acres not depth or gallons.
* Initial Dose is 12-lbs per surface-acre (24 eight oz. water soluble bags)
* Maintenance Dose is 6-lbs per surface-acre every 2-4 weeks (12 eight oz. water soluble bags)
Note: Apply Pond Patrol™ bacteria when water temperatures are above 55 degrees. Pond Patrol™ bacteria strains are very hardy and survive cold winters but like all bacteria are most active in warmer waters spring through fall.
Note: It is important that your pond retain at least 35% of its volume between your maintenance doses. If not, simply increase dosage rates to compensate.
