Aquatic Blue Pond Dye Benefits
Aquatic Blue and Aquatic Blue Eco are able to dye any type of freshwater including: brown, turbid, murky, cloudy, and tannin.
Aquatic Blue is specifically formulated to filter sunlight, improving water clarity.
Aquatic Blue and Aquatic Blue Eco will not harm any of the critters that live in the freshwater or use the water.
Aquatic Blue is Safe
Aquatic Blue is safe to use in the presence of humans, livestock, fish, domestic pets and wildlife. Once diluted into the water column it is safe for irrigation and swimming and the dye will not stain skin, hair, clothes, plants, rocks or sand.
Aquatic Blue is backed by Science
This science-backed product works by restricting the penetration of UV rays into the water column. Aquatic Blue filters the sun’s rays, reducing the amount of UV light present in the water body. The reduction of light helps to effectively manage water quality. Aquatic Blue gives your body of water a gorgeous blue hue.
Because of its light-filtering properties, Aquatic Blue may decrease water temperatures [2] where applied. This can be beneficial for increased oxygen saturation, which in turn can keep fish healthy for longer[2] and support the growth of the ‘good’ types of bacteria in your water.
Because Aquatic Blue changes the colour of the water, this may prevent fish from being predated as they can be harder to see due to the refraction of light against the blue[2] .
The science is quite simple: this aquatic dye is formulated to ‘screen out’ red-orange and blue-violet light rays from the sun. As the dye reflects sunlight, water temperatures remain lower.
- Easy to apply
- Non toxic and environmentally friendly
- Safe for fish, plants, animals and humans alike
