Algae on Dam

Q. How do I quickly get rid of algae from my dam?

Answer:

Algal blooms are a really common problem in dams over summer. They can happen very suddenly and can rapidly take over your dam. Algal blooms can really impact the use of your water body as it can block irrigation pipes, prevent swimming and fishing, threaten the health of stock and wildlife as well as preventing light and oxygen from entering the water.

Fast acting treatment:

Coptrol

If you are wanting quick results to get your dam back to a healthy state, an algaecide is a guaranteed, fast acting solution for algae. Coptrol aquatic algaecide is great for treating all types of algae and works rapidly to reduce the amount of algae in a dam, usually within 72 hours. 

If you have fish we would recommend that you choose a product from out fish pond section, for fish friendly products.
