- The product should be applied as soon as blanket weed appears in your pond. If there are fish in your pond, we recommend treating the pond in halves so that the fish have somewhere to swim to when the blanket weed is dying.
- You should start seeing the effects of the treatment rapidly as it starves the blanket weed of the essential nutrients it needs to grow.
- Unfortunately Blanket Weed is notoriously difficult to prevent from returning, as it can be brought in to your pond by birds, other aquatic plants and by the wind. Therefore if you want to keep your pond free from blanket weed you must re-apply the Quartz as soon as you see it return.
Applications:
Hydra Quartz is a Mineral Based Treatment that rapidly removes Blanket Weed, String Algae and Slime. Ideal for Koi and fish ponds, lakes, water traps, natural pools, swimming ponds and irrigation systems.
The Problem:
Blanket Weed is notoriously difficult to get rid of, and once you have it in your pond it can feel like a battle to contain it especially in the spring/summer months. The worst thing you can do is pull the weed out as this releases lots more spores into the water.
The Solution:
Hydra Quartz rapidly starves blanket weed of the nutrients it needs to grow. Once it has died (normally within 2-3 days) you can easily remove the dead weed from the pond without releasing any spores into your pond. Quartz does not remain in the water but reverts back to its constituent elements of oxygen and hydrogen within around 48 hours.
More Info:
What is Blanket weed?
Blanket weed is a generic name for all of the many types of filamentous
algae. Sometimes it has the appearance of fine wispy hair growing off the side
of the pool, other times it forms a thick, choking candy floss type mass that
can choke plants or float at the water surface.
As with green water causing algae, blanket weed thrives in full sun, nutrient
rich water.
Blanket weed isn't harmful in itself. It is, however, unsightly and in some
cases can choke plants. too many fish and any nutrients leaching into the pool
will make the situation worse.
