Airmax PondClear Packets Beneficial Bacteria Pond Clarifier, 96 Count

I am just stunned beyond belief with this product combined with EcoBoost. I have been battling an unknown pond problem for 9 months and bought these two as yet another "can't hurt, why not, what do I have to lose other than more money" disheartened stab at a solution. Took 10 days to fix it. About 9 months ago the pond lost it's sparkle, the water wasn't quite as clear, the sun didn't reflect on it. As months went by it then became sorta cloudy, then really cloudy and I could no longer see the bottom. Then for the last 4 months I've seen lots of particles floating in the water. Testing the water always showed it was fine. I did a water change....4 times! each time taking it down further thinking I hadn't changed enough of the water and then incurring not only high water bills, but the cost of the chemicals and bacteria to make the water safe. Each time, the particles and cloudiness came back within days. I then thought my UV system must be on the fritz and that it was little algae particles. So I spent close to $1,000 getting all new bulbs, sleeves, gaskets and ballast. It had no effect. I then contacted a pond company who told me I needed more circulation and aeration. I bought a new external pump and shot that water into the air to both circulate and aerate. No improvement. I've tried Amquel Pond, Seachem Prime, API Pondcare, countless flocculants, liquid bacteria, barley straw, polishing cloths and more in quantities that were massive. Nothing cleared the water and got rid of the floating particles. The water wasn't full of algae, this was not a green issue. The floating particles were actually brown and visible to the naked eye. I got this product along with EcoBoost simply because the manufacturer recommended it and at this point in the game I was willing to try anything. I followed the directions and put it in. I turned off my UV for 4 full days. I watched and examined every day and saw nothing till day 10. On day 10 I wasn't sure if there was a slight improvement or not. It had rained heavy and I thought that might have done something. But by day 11 there was no mistaking it.....it was clearing! By day 12 I could see the bottom again! It is now day 14 and I can barely see any of those particles floating in the water. I do not know if it was the bacteria or Eco Boost that fixed my issue, I still couldn't tell you what my issue was. This is my first time using bacteria in a packet, I've used multiple brands of liquid bacteria. But I am stunned, happy, shocked, and all of that to have my pond back again the way it was. User for life....! I even made a reminder on my calendar for every 2 weeks (how often you use this) so I'll never have this issue again.

I have about a 3/4 acre pond that was very murky, I bought this product and applied 6 packets the first treatment. I was starting to think that it was a waste of money but in the past few days I've noted a marked improvement. I think it is important to note that this product takes time to work; it took about 3 weeks to see the improvement in my pond and some of the reviewers seem to be expecting fairly quick results. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase and feel like the pond is swim-able again!

I use this in my 1/4 acre pond and it works. I use it with the Airmax system and it works great to keep the pond water clear and helps with the floating vegetation. I have never used it by itself, so I can't say how well it works alone.

Algae has decreased, water is clear, fish are thriving. Very easy to use.

Reflecting pool level failure. Out of the twelve packs 8 of them were open so I got a bucket full of powder. It's only been a few weeks, but things seem to be getting worse. This may be a good product for maintaining a clean pond, but I don't believe it will correct any issues you may have.

Water clearer but also needed to supplement treatment.

This paired with pond dye keep our two 1/4 acre ponds low maintenance. No surface algae and the pond inhabitants continue to thrive.

I bought by mistake for my small pond and the pond has never been clearer!

Ok thought it would help clear up my pond, no miracle product here

This extremely expensive product is simply a dud. It did absolutely nothing to change the colour of my pond. What a sham.
