A lovely pond can be a source of inspiration and pride. Whether you’re a commercial grounds keeper or a home pond owner you know algae can cause your pond to look green and ugly.

Typically, algae growth, odor emissions and sludge buildup, in lakes, ponds, waste water, etc., result from biological imbalance and flocculation (small single cell algae spread out across the surface of your pond.)

There’s some serious chemistry and research in the products we’ve spent nearly two decades developing; but in a nutshell…

Hydra Quartz rapidly removes blanket weed, string algae and slime without harming your fish. Hydra Quartz starves the blanket weed by chelating and absorbing nitrates and phosphates which are essential for blanket weed growth.

Is Hydra Quartz safe to use with fish and wildlife?
Hydra Quartz is harmless to fish and wildlife and is safe for your pets to drink from the water.

How long does it take to work?
Within an hour the Hydra Quartz will start consuming nutrients in the water this will effect the blanket weed and slime in your water - the full effects will be seen within 7 days. Once the blanket weed has become detached from the pond sides you can remove it with a net. If the blanket weed is not removed it will either be picked up by your filtration system or will slowly disintegrate over time at the bottom.

When I added Hydra Quartz my water went white. Why?
In very hard water areas it is possible that when you add Hydra Quartz to water the water will go a milky colour, this is because the water hardness (calcium carbonate) is being precipitated out of the water. This precipitation is harmless and will sink to the bottom and the water will clear within 2-3 days.
