How It Works
Lo-Chlor Pond & Fountain Algaecide & Clarifier uses a controlled copper complex to target algae growth while the built-in clarifier helps bind fine particles that can make water look dull or hazy.
When applied evenly across the water surface, it works throughout the treated area to control algae and support clearer, cleaner-looking water in both flowing and still water features.
How to Use
- Where possible, brush or manually remove heavy algae growth before treatment.
- Reduce or stop water flow to improve treatment concentration.
- Dilute the required dose in a bucket of water.
- Distribute evenly across the water surface, concentrating on affected areas.
- Repeat treatment only if algae reappears.
Dosage & Coverage
- Dosage: 50 mL per 450 litres of water.
- Coverage: 500 mL treats up to 4,500 litres.
- Do not exceed the recommended dosage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this product suitable for swimming pools?
No. This product is formulated specifically for ornamental ponds and fountains and should not be used in swimming pools or spas intended for bathing.
Is it safe to use where fish are present?
When used at the manufacturer’s recommended dosage, the formulation is designed to have minimal impact on most freshwater fish. However, fish safety cannot be guaranteed, as sensitivity can vary depending on species, water hardness, and oxygen levels.
Should fish be removed during treatment?
Where practical, it is recommended to isolate or remove fish temporarily before treatment, particularly in smaller ponds or where algae growth is heavy.
How does algae treatment affect oxygen levels?
Yes. Large amounts of dying algae can temporarily reduce oxygen levels. In heavily infested ponds, it is best to remove excess algae manually before treatment to reduce this risk.
Will it stain pond surfaces, stone, or water features?
No. When used as directed, the non-staining copper complex is formulated to minimise surface staining on stone, concrete, and decorative features.
Can treated water be used on garden plants or lawns?
Yes. At the recommended dosage, treated water will not adversely affect plants, shrubs, grass, or domestic animals.
How often should the product be applied?
Treatment should be repeated only if algae reappears. Do not exceed the recommended dosage or apply more frequently than necessary.
Does this product contain chlorine?
No. This formulation does not contain chlorine and will not affect chlorine-sensitive materials or finishes.
