Assist bacteria in the natural biodegrading
of odors and cleaning water...
THE PROBLEM
Black smelly dugout water during winter and early spring is usually caused by
decaying organic matter entrapped in the dugout, organic matter builds up in
dugouts from algae and weed growth and is also washed in to he dugout by runoff
water. In the fall, after algae and weed growth stops, decaying begins along
with other materials such as tree leaves, grass and even manure. The decaying
continues after freeze-up and water is robbed of oxygen. In other words, it
becomes septic. under these conditions, odor is reduced and water turns black.
Pond Boss speeds up the decaying process when applied in the early spring to early fall.
THE SOLUTION
Pond Boss speeds up the decaying process when applied in the early spring to
early fall. When freeze-up arrives, the decaying is complete and the water is
not robbed of oxygen. The result is clean, odor-free water.
WHAT IS POND BOSS?
Pond Boss is a safe organic product that stimulates the natural process for
breaking down organic wastes, when used according to directions, the water is
safe for fish, livestock and humans. There are no hazardous residues as Pond
Boss is biodegradable.
WHEN TO USE
Pond Boss is most effective when the application procedure is started between
April 1st and October 31 st, when weather is warmer. Climate conditions vary
greatly from year to year, so application can be started accordingly, it may be
applied during the winter, effectiveness is reduced however, due to ice
covering, no new debris are coming into the pond, therefore results are still
very favorable.
HOW TO USE
The following application rates are based on a standard size 1 million gallon
dugout (180’x 60’x 14’), to determine the size of a non-standard dugout, use the
formula: length ft x width ft x depth ft x 6.2495 = number of gallons
length ft x width ft x depth ft x 25 = number of liters
DIRECTIONS
Treatment for ponds, dugouts and community reservoirs 1 million gal (3.78
Million L). Mix 5 gal (18.9 L) Pond Boss in 15 gal (56.7 L) of water and spray
or throw into pond or dugout on windward side. In order for Pond Boss to work
faster, distribute evenly around the dugout.
Please Note: For ponds or dugouts of less that one million gallons or (3.78
Million L) treat with 1 oz. (28.84 ml) of Pond Boss per 2,500 gal (9450 L).
Safe for fish when used as directed. Could be harmful to trout above 5 ppm. Less
sensitive fish, above 10 ppm. Note: During the first 4 weeks of Pond Boss treatment, the water may become
murky. This is due to the Pond Boss speeding up the natural decaying of organic
matter. Following the phase, the water will clear up within 4 weeks.
MAINTENANCE OF DUGOUTS
Pond Boss should be applied in warm water. Its effectiveness may be increased
and the amount required each year may be reduced when the following procedures
are followed;
1. An effective algae control program must be followed. Use of an Algaecide is
recommended as it not only controls existing algae, but prevents rapid re-growth
of algae, which contributes to a reduction in organic matter that builds up in
the dugout.
2. An effective water weed control program must be followed. Use only government
approved aquatic herbicides, or remove weeds using mechanical methods (dragging
heavy chair, or spike harrows through dugout). To endure successful Pond Boss
treatment, apply herbicide at least one month before initial application.
3. Clear all brush and trees back 200’ from dugout, seed this cleared area
(fescue, bluegrass, etc.) Do not seed alfalfa or clovers as they will taint the
water. Keep the grass trimmed and remove all cuttings. These procedures will
reduce the amount of organic matter being washed into the dugout by runoff
water.
4. Do not apply fertilizer to adjacent areas.
5. The dugout intake pipe should be mounted on a float and adjusted to take in
water no deeper than 3 feet deep during the summer. Re-adjust to a depth of 5
feet for winter use
1. FLOCCULENT:
Pond Boss dissolved in water will flocculate suspended particles
in the water and cause them to sink to the bottom. Flocculating means: To pull
small particles together to form larger particles. Pond Boss will flocculate
particles at low concentrations (for example, 1/10 ppm)
.
This property of Pond Boss can be used to clear cloudy, turbid, muddy, rusty and
similar type conditions in water. Some of the places where this property is
useful are as follows; to clear water in dugouts, cooling systems, cooling
towers, ponds, lakes, streams and all types of agricultural water where
suspension of particles need to be cleared away.
Water tested with can be cleared either by dropping flocculating particles to
the bottom or by trapping the flocculating particle in a filter system.
Consequently, another use of Pond Boss is to increase the efficiency of filter
systems, for example in industries where water is used over and over again and
is cleaned by filtration through sand and gravel, diatomaceous earth, activated
charcoal and similar types of filtering materials.
2. SURFACE CONDITIONING AGENT: Pond Boss in water produces a surface condition
on the sides and bottoms of containers holding water that prevents dirt,
biological slimes, chemical scales, from sticking or clinging to the surface of
cooling towers when Pond Boss is added to the water in the cooling system.
This property of Pond Boss is also useful in water filtration’s. Sand and
gravel, diatomaceous earth, charcoal and other types of filters become plugged
with chemical deposits. When Pond Boss is added to the water going through such
filters the clogging deposits are broken loose from the filtering material and
the efficiency of the filters and the length of time that the filtering material
can be used are increased. Pond Boss will also prevent build up of biological
slimes which can plug filters.
The surface cleaning properties of Pond Boss are also useful in removing
chemical scale and rust from radiators, pipelines, valves and vegetable and
fruit washing equipment.
3. ACCELERATED BIOLOGICAL DEGRADATION OF ORGANIC WASTE:
Pond Boss is useful in
clearing and cleaning water by speeding up the biological degradation of
suspended organic substances in water. In organically polluted waters, the
presence of Pond Boss will cause the organic pollution to be broken down
biologically more rapidly thus cleaning and purifying the water more quickly
that can be accomplished if biological action is allowed to build-up at a
natural rate.
