All the benefits of barley straw without the mess! CrystalClear pure barley straw extract for ponds is the natural solution to maintaining clean and clear pond water all year long. First reported in scientific journals in the early 1990s, it was discovered that during the decomposition process, barley straw releases small but steady quantities of extract that improves water clarity. Currently, pond hobbyists can choose from three different types of barley products: barley straw in bale form, barley pellets, and barley extract. With Barley Extract, there is no waiting for the barley straw balls to decompose or for the powder in barley pellets to start to work. Use 1 ounce extract for up to 500 gallons, treat weekly to maintain balance. For the best results, pour directly into your outdoor fishpond, backyard water garden, patio water feature, or pondless waterfall. When used as a preventive measure, barley straw offers pond owners an attractive option to chemical products to manage water quality issues. Consistent treatments will reduce pond cleaning chores and routine maintenance tasks. No temperature restrictions, use spring, summer, fall and winter. When used as directed, our simple treatment will not harm any animal, frog, goldfish, koi (sometimes called coy or koy), bird, duck, turtle, pet, snail, dog, horse, or other wildlife. The additive is safe for plants, lily pads, lotus, and other aquatic vegetation. Okay for use with pond equipment, including filtration systems, aeration units, skimmers, cleaners, or fountains. Will not harm your waterfall pump, skimmer, aerator, filter system, clarifier, purifier, floating fountain, decor, decorations, liner, or other equipment and accessories
