MICROBE-LIFT ALGA16 Algaway 5.4 Algae Control Treatment for Ponds and Water Gardens, Safe for Koi Fish, Goldfish, Plants, and Decorations, 16 Ounces

We decided to try this product for the Spring cleaning on the pond in our back yard after this year’s Colorado winter. Followed the directions on the label and within hours it started to clear the algae. By the next day our pond no longer looked like a science experiment. I wish I had taken a before picture, but trust me when I say the rocks below the water line were all green- as well as the rocks on the water fall. The water is so clear now that we even had ducks drop in for a swim.

This review is coming directly from my pond.. hey this algae control stuff is Amazing ! My owner built me recently , and there’s a lot wrong with me ..but I’m functional and apparently she likes listening to the water running and the birds drinking from me , but she didn’t think about the algae that likes to grow in me , she’s a bit spacey that way… but thank goodness she bought this cause now at least I can be free of that green slimy crap that likes to grow in me .. she’s still trying to figure out how to clean the bird poop out of me , but hey , it’s a step in the right direction and I guarantee she will be buying more …I’ll make sure of it. I suggest you do the same if you have your own pond friend at home

I use it in my bird bath and so far it does a good job to keep the algae down. I wish it came with an eye dropper as it takes a tiny amount for a bird bath.

Excellent product keep the algae at Bay. Safe for the Koi.

I bought the three Microbe lines Pond Cleaner, Algae Control and Barley Extract, but it did nothing to clear up my pond. I ended up buying a submersible UV light and that was the only thing that cleared it up. It may work better at maintaining an already clear pond.

I have used this product for years in my outdoor fish pond. works as "advertised" clears algae/moss from pond water.. residue drops to bottom of pond (good idea to suck that up with pool vacuum) keeps water crystal clear for months. (not compatible with all pond plants but my main concern is clear water for fish)

I purchased this product based its misleading , I believe, description, suggesting that it is safe to use around fish. In fact, I saw fish on the label. Upon receipt and reading all of the precautions regarding its handling, its use and being hazardous to humans, animals, fish and landscaping, I immediately returned it. The Description on this product should clearly state how hazardous it is. Firstly, it is poisonous to both humans animals, birds, and most fish. Not uncommon but not clear in its description. If you handle it, it is recommended you wear both safety glasses and gloves and if you happen to get any on bare skin or clothing that you immediately wash it. You can imagine about getting it in your eyes by mistake. I believe the description is inadequate.Also, when it is shipped, the bottle is inside a plastic bag with a zip tire on it and then you will receive it in either a plastic bag or a box. There are actually no markings on the box regarding its toxicity. If you have a pond in your yard it is likely frequent by birds, butterflies, and possibly your own pets. This Product may make them very ill or possibly kill them. When you read the complete description, it is only recommended to be used with two types of fish. Also it will kill your plants and requires that your pond be aerated. After doing my return, I went through and read some of the reviews and also found that there were many questions about its capability in doing its prescribed main purpose of killing algae. Based on the above, I gave this product a one star rating as I believe it is in accurately advertised and the posts about its effectiveness. If you buy and use this product, please be very careful for yourself, your children, your pets and any other wildlife that might take a drink of water after this is used in your pond or fountain. It states it is also damaging to landscaping so, where are you going to use this product safely. Quite frankly, I cannot think of many uses for it based upon its limitations of killing both plants and animals let alone its general toxicity.

Works great in my fountain. Doe’s make the paint come off like Clorox. Keeps algae from building and water clear.

Product seems to work well considering only had used it a few days ago, after a long delay (from my end) to receive
