AquaScreen®
Controlling aquatic weeds and plants Controlling these unwanted plants and weeds with a barrier method is not a new technique. Instead of digging weeds and plants out of the pond bottom it made sense to pond owners to bury them under barriers of homemade screens or "carpets". Previous methods included binding large pieces of canvas or even standard window screen together and sinking them with large metal frames or bundles of bricks but these methods were prone to failure and not an efficient use of time or money. AquaScreen is sold in rolls 7ft by 100ft (700 square feet).It can be cut with sharp scissors and sewn together to form larger screen sizes or special forms to fit snugly around docks or swimming areas. It can be anchored into position on the pond or lake bottom with patio stones or rocks or even rebar inserted in PVC piping but the preferred method is by staking the AquaScreen with 10" or 12" steel pins through the 1/2" plastic grommets that are provided with the roll. Many common aquatic weeds can drastically reduce the beauty and health of an aquatic ecosystem. Cattails are notorious for coming back after having been manually removed and due to their root structure tend to come back thicker and stronger as you try and remove them. Pondweed, milfoil, Canada water weed (elodea) and wild celery (American eel-grass) are a few of the other species that can overtake a pond and reduce the enjoyment of the pond. AquaScreen will eliminate the annoyances of thick mud and aquatic plants underfoot thus enhancing the experience for bathers on public and private beaches or resort areas. Only strategic areas of beaches or shorelines need be treated with the AquaScreen and this small expense can dramatically improve the quality of the shore where bathers enter the water. It also keeps golf course ponds and water-hazards looking clean and clear and will provide rapid esthetic results near docks and marinas, riverbanks and wastewater ditches.

Polydex® Bacteriostatic Algaecide kills algae Also kills chara, cyanobacteria (Blue-Green Algae) and E-Coli Polydex is absorbed by the algae where copper ions interfere with natural metabolic processes, such as membrane permeability, respiration, digestion, reproduction, and even denaturing of DNA. As a result algae die from their own ability to perform functions. When the algae is under control keep a low dose of about .10 ppm and it will not return. Not only do we have algae control but e-coli control at the same time. Filamentous algae is eliminated and controlled with Polydex. Polydex is specified for use in potable waters. Follow applications guidelines to avoid danger to health or wildlife. Safe for all fish except Koi and Carp species. Polydex is sprayed directly on to the algae and quickly kills algae. For best results combine the Polydex treatment with applications of beneficial bacteria like Bacterius 1B or 5B to ensure the decaying algae materials do not accumulate in the pond and cause more problems.
