Precautions
Keep out of reach of children. Harmful if absorbed through skin or swallowed. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after use. In ponds, insure that water is well aerated via waterfall, fountain or other method to prevent fish loss. Aeration must be continuous. Not safe for use with snails, shrimp and other crustaceans or mollusks.
For every 120 gallons of water volume add 2 teaspoons. Repeat dosage once per week for maintenance.
For use in self-contained ornamental ponds and fountains without any outflow. For small ponds with heavy algae growth, clean the excess algae off the sides and ornaments before adding Algaway 5.4. This will reduce the amount of decaying organic matter. Fountains, Small Ponds with goldfish and Koi - Treat only those fountains and ponds which will have no outflow after treatment.
Can this product be used with tadpoles/frogs in the pond? Thank you.

Could a small amount of this be used in self-filling watering containers for cats and dogs?

This is a Pond Product. It is also not used as a preventative. It is excellent as a curative product. So, it should not be used until there is sufficient algae to remove (from the pond or water feature). To safely help prevent algae forming in the animals’ water bowls, you can use Microbe-Lift/Concentrated Barley Straw Extract.
This product helps keep my Koi fish pond water very clear and I live in Arizona!!

Bird and fish safe
I originally purchased this item for our fountain as a bird safe algaecide. I decided to put a couple of goldfish in the fountain as well. Because the fountain is exposed to sunlight, algae growth is rapid. I have only been using this product for about a month. It does help control the algae but as of yet, hasn't completely eliminated the growth it out. I am still working on it.

trying to rid pond of green algae water
I have been using Microlift for many years and having this product recommended to me was great. It's been a week and the pond is still green. I'm going to give it one more week and if the water is not clear, my last resort is emptying all the water and starting from scratch. Regardless, it's worth a try so we'll see. 5 stars to CHEWY. Thank you so much for making my life easier. We'll be friends forever!
