Aqua-T is meant to be used as part of a regular pond and lake maintenance program. For optimal performance, applications should begin in the spring; however, the program may be started at any time of the year given the conditions below are met.
Initial Application:
Apply 6 bags per acre foot of water when average day time water temperature reaches 50° F (10°C).
Maintenance Application:
Apply 1 bag per acre foot of water every two weeks until average day time water temperature falls below 50° F (10°C). One acre foot of water is equal to approximately 326,000 gallons (1,254,000 liters, 1,254 cubic meters).
| Condition | Optimum | Minimum | Maximum |
|---|---|---|---|
| pH | 7.0 | 5.0 | 9.8 |
| Dissolved O2 | 2.0+ ppm | 1 ppm | N/A |
| C/N/P Ratio | 100/10/1 | 10/5/1 | 10/20/1 |
| Temp C/F | 30/86 | 4/39 | 63/145 |
| Toxic Metals | 0 ppm | 0 ppm | 2 ppm |
For Best Results:
Distribute Aqua-T around the edge of the pond. DO NOT use Aqua-T within 3 days of an algaecide treatment.
