 Sorry, Did NOT Help Our Fountain.... Jan 07, 2010
By USMC Combat Vet
"Retired!"
After so many online reviews about this working so well, I bought the largest size for our 2 new fountains. One is a 48 inch tall wall fountain, the other a large 3 tier fountain with a 55 inch pond base. We live in North San Diego and both fountains are concrete. We had algae growth and SEVERE growth in our 3 tier fountain within 5 days of using this product. This fountain spends all day in direct sunlight but no matter how much we increase dosage, the problem is NOT resolved using this chemical. I can only imagine how bad my problems will be come summer. Too bad as we really want to have a pet & bird friendly addition to our back yard. Back to Bromine and elbow grease I guess.....

Update on Jan 15 2012:
I FINALLY found a perfect solution. Well, at least no birds have died in the past 18 months since I solved my problem anyway. I went to Home Depot & bought a huge 1 gallon jug of Chlorine TABS that are sunlight resistant. I have not had ONE single trace of algae since! NOTHING. All Summer and every since no matter the weather or conditions... Even better, I have not had to change any of my water ONE single time! The kicker? The entire 1 gallon jug of "tabs" cost me $22.00. I have to admit, THAT flat pissed me off. We spent over $200.00 trying to be eco friendly;y etc and ANY combination we tried of any & all brands failed and I mean failed IMMEDIATELY. Do yourself a favor, go to Home Depot and you will find a 2 year supply of solution for about $20.00.
I live in North County San Diego and it gets warm here. STAYS warm too. If you live in a warm climate & have trouble with all these USELESS high tech & ridiculously EXPENSIVE products that simply do NOT work? Try this and you won't have another problem. I give you my word!

 Excellent product that really works Apr 26, 2010
By R. MacDonald
It seems like there are a gazillion algaecides on the market and I think we've probably tried them all in our two fountains, but this product, which was recommended by a place that sells fountains, has come closest to keeping our fountains 'clean.' I put the word 'clean' in quotes only because I don't think there is ANY product that renders any water feature (fountain, spa, etc.) 100% algae-free -- algae just goes with the territory. But this product seems to do the best job at keeping the algae at bay, and it's harmless to birds and other animals (your plants might not like it, though, if placed too close to the splash from a fountain). We've been using it for more than 5 years and are very happy with it.

Useless Feb 21, 2012
By B. Ulm
"Outdoor Living in SoCal"
I bought this hoping to alleviate using Chlorox in my fountain since it was bleaching the concrete fountain color and killing any nearby plants with its overspray from the fountain.
I first added it to the fountain when it was spring and hoped it would remove some growing algae, which it didn't. I thought maybe it was intended to maintain clean water so I drained the fountain, cleaned it and replaced the water. Again it didn't work and algae slowly returned (it was early spring so the SoCal bright sunny days had not really hit yet). I then tried drastically increasing the dose, which I used weekly and as summer arrived it became apparent that this product is worthless. In bright sun with the product in a clean fountain algae would appear within days.
As far as I can tell, this is basically water with blue food coloring in it. I am guessing its more than that but its been an abysmal failure for me. On the bright side, it doesn't hurt plants or wildlife. Unfortunately it also doesn't appear to harm algae.
Back to the drawing board....
Have a fountain...need this! May 18, 2012
By PamelaP
Great product for any fountain use. Do not waste your money on the small bottles, save and buy the larger container.
