Small Pond with Pond Dye, Bacteria and Heavy Rain

Small pond Added Bacteria
Blue dye bottom left corner, murky water.

Here we go again with pond Dye. We’ve talked before how it can beautify your pond from the green or brownish color from too many leaves or algae blooms to a natural blue or rich black color similar to the Canadian Lakes.

Recently I tried out our super concentrated pond dye along with our New Pond Clarifier beneficial bacteria that reduces muck, smells and murky water,  in a pond that we are slowly building which isn’t finished and found how fast the dye could be depleted in the event of a rain storm.

Again the pond is not finished so about half the pond is

    Beautiful!
    Please tell me the exact name of color & Dye manufacturer you used for the pond photo where right under photo it says: ” 2 Days later”.

    Thank you!

  2. The quick answer is that this Pond Dye is our products in Concentrated liquid form, one quart treats an acre. Second part of this article is to show that incoming rain water can wash out pond dye over time. A larger pond would take longer to dilute, wash out than it did in this little pond.

    The longer part of the answer I have on other articles about pond dyes and their color in various ponds. For example a clear pond without suspended solids or clay particles the color would be a darker blue. But if there are particles in the water the color would be different, more on the lighter side as you see in the picture. Additionally the amount of die added to the pond will have a different color as well. For example one quart treat and acre so if we used the same quart on a 1/2 acre pond that 1/2 acre pond would be darker in color.

    For other articles, thoughts and experiences with pond dyes check out these Pond Dye Article out as well. Scroll to the bottom of that page for more links to pond dyes.

    Hope this helps.
