Summit Clear-Water Barley Straw Pond Treatment
Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
See things more clearly with the Summit Clear-Water Barley Straw Pond Treatment. The barley straw works to naturally keep aquariums and fountain water clear—without the need for synthetic chemicals. As it slowly decays, byproducts are released that aid in maintaining water clarity, which are harmless to fish and other plants in the pond. Just drop it in, and enjoy the results! Barley straw may be used at any time, but best results have been reported when starting in early spring when the water temperature is low. Bales should remain floating for maximum exposure to sunlight and oxygen, which aids in the decomposition process and accelerates the pond clearing benefits.
Key Benefits- Micro bale of barley straw keeps pond water clear and is safe for all fish, plants and animals.
- Works naturally without the use of harmful or synthetic chemicals.
- Byproducts are released as it decays that aid in maintaining water clarity.

Barley Straw
- Calculate approximate water content of pond. Formula: Length x Width x Depth (in feet) multiply total by 7.5 to give formula in gallons.
- Determine how many bales are required to treat pond.
- Place bale on the surface of the pond, preferably near waterfall or filter outlet. Do not allow bales to sink to the bottom of the pond. If bale sinks, remove from pond for 24 hours to dry and then put it back.
- Allow one month for the bale to become effective.
- Replace each bale after 6 months of use. For continuous treatment, after 5 months, place a new bale next to the old one. Then remove the oldest one at the 6 month mark.
- For best results, keep barley straw bale floating on the pond year round.

barley bales
By Caer on Apr 14, 2020
I always use barley bales instead of chemicals to keep my pond clear. Not only for the health of my koi, but also because I grow food plants in the bog area. It is safe and it works.

Does the job
By LabsAreUs on Apr 6, 2020
This is our second order for barley straw. It works so well to keep the water clear. No more murky water. We can see even the tiniest fish swimming near the bottom of our water garden.

#FakeStraw
By CaliPondOwnerBuilder on Aug 22, 2019
I have ordered barley straw products from other sources and I was surprised that they actually worked. I ordered this product hastily and did not notice that I had changed brands. This product did absolutely nothing to fight hair algae in my pond, in fact the hair algae was growing on the straw bales and then they melted to a puddle of green goo inside of the mesh Net.

Saving the Fish pond
By Ceaser on Jul 7, 2019
We have been fighting to keep frogs and frog Spohn out of the pond for the last three years we’ve tried chemicals and natural remedies so far nothing has worked, I’ve ordered the barley hay in the hopes that this will work so far we have it attached close to the waterfall and I will come back and do an updated review once I see whether or not this will do the job claims. As for Chewie.com I love this place they always have what I want or need they have great prices and my items are here with in 2 to 3 days.
