  Critical Things to Know Before Use:

  Understanding the Causes of Murky Water:

  • Murky water can result from various factors, including organic matter, harmful microorganisms, and certain types of algae. These contaminants may carry pathogens and waterborne diseases, making water clarity not just a visual concern but a health and safety priority as well².
  • Factors like wind, heavy rainfall, excess runoff, and stock entering water can mobilize sediment in dams, contributing to turbidity³. Implementing proper control methods, such as using crushed rock or hay bales to slow and filter new input water during rain events, can help manage turbidity effectively.
  • Wind action on loose or uncompacted dam edges can also stir up sediments. Compacting these edges with materials like sand, crushed rock, geo-fabric, or vegetation can yield sustainable long-term results.

  Effects of Murky Water: Murky water can lead to various issues, including blockages in irrigation spray nozzles, sludge build-up in drippers and pipes, staining of plumbing equipment, and unsafe swimming environments⁴.

  Factors Affecting Product Results: Factors like wind and rain events can influence the efficacy of the product. To optimise results, it’s essential to consider weather conditions and make necessary adjustments.

  Ways to Manage Turbidity in a Dam:

  1. Minimise Wave Action: Strengthen dam edges by laying geo-fabric, stone, sand, or establishing vegetation. Thoughtful tree planting can also help reduce the impact of prevailing winds.
  2. Spillway Maintenance: Maintain a well-vegetated spillway to manage and guide water flow while preventing erosion.
  3. Manage Stock Traffic Damage: Control stock impact by routing them to designated pathways, installing fencing to restrict access, alternating stock routes, and introducing reticulation systems and vegetation.

  Aquatic Clear Dam offers a comprehensive solution to transform murky water into clear, clean water. Calculate the appropriate product size for your water body using our simple formula, and experience the remarkable benefits of Aquatic Clear Dam today!

• How To Use

  How to use Aquatic Clear Dam: A Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Calculate the Required Volume: Determine the volume of water in your waterbody and the amount of Aquatic Clear Dam needed. Each 5L of Clear Dam treats an impressive 250,000L of water (with a ratio of 1L treating up to 50,000L). If you require assistance with calculations, feel free to reach out to our expert team.
  2. Calculate Waterbody Size: To calculate the size of your waterbody, use this formula: Length (m) X Width (m) X Maximum depth (m) X 0.4 = Volume (m3). Note that one cubic meter (m³) contains 1,000L of water.
  3. Dilute and Apply: Dilute the appropriate amount of Clear Dam in clean water at a ratio of 1-part product to 20-parts water. Ensure the product is evenly distributed across the water surface using a spray or shower stream, using any spray unit or fire pump for application.
  4. Ensure Even Coverage: Evenly spraying Clear Dam across the water surface is crucial for proper dispersal and effective mixing with the particles during treatment.
  5. Addressing High Sediment Loading and Mobilisation: For water bodies with high sediment loading (chocolate brown colour) or those that have never experienced clear water, it is essential to address the source of mobilisation before using Clear Dam. For tips on dealing with mobilisation, refer to the description tab.

  Common Sources of Mobilisation:

  • Soft edges
  • Run-off
  • Bare ground
  • Stock entering water
  • Heavy rainfall and wind

  To reduce mobilisation impact, strengthen your edges with geo-fabric, crushed rock, sand, or shallow-rooted plants.

  Factors Affecting Clear Dam Performance:

  Clear Dam may not work optimally under certain conditions, including incorrect application, water pH above 9 or below 6¹, untreated source of turbidity, extremely high sediment load, or incorrect dosage rate. It is crucial to follow the correct dosage and application guidelines.

  Ensure Correct Dosage:

  When calculating the product needed, accuracy is vital. Applying less than the required dosage rate will not yield desired results, so it’s crucial to get the amount right.

  For effective results, follow these steps carefully when using Aquatic Clear Dam. Should you have any questions or require assistance, don’t hesitate to contact our knowledgeable team.

• FAQ

  Is Aquatic Clear Dam safe to use with fish and other wildlife?

  Absolutely! Aquatic Clear Dam is designed to be fish-friendly and safe for aquatic plants and other wildlife. You can use it around fish without any concerns.

  Why should I choose Aquatic Clear Dam?

  Aquatic Clear Dam is the ideal solution for highly turbid water. Turbid water poses risks to swimming due to reduced clarity and visibility. It can also be unpleasant for livestock to drink from water containing excessive sediment. Moreover, turbid water can lead to blockages in pipes and create an unsightly appearance. By using Aquatic Clear Dam, you can significantly improve water clarity and quality, creating a safer and more visually appealing environment.

  When might Aquatic Clear Dam not work effectively?

  To ensure optimal results, avoid these common mistakes:

  • Underestimating the size and volume of your waterbody and using too little product. Correct dosing is crucial.
  • Using the product when the water’s pH is out of the recommended range.
  • Failing to harden waterbody edges, which can impact the product’s efficacy.
  • Not diluting the product as instructed.
  • Remember that flocculation is a single-use treatment, and any additional water additions will not be treated.
  • If rainfall is expected after treatment, additional treatments may be necessary to maintain water clarity.

   

  What if my waterbody has very high turbidity?

  Some waterbodies with high turbidity may require multiple treatments to effectively address the issue.

  How do I calculate the size of my waterbody for treatment?

  Calculating your waterbody’s volume is simple: Length of waterbody (metres) X Width of waterbody (metres) X Maximum depth of waterbody (metres) X 0.4 = Volume of waterbody (m³) One cubic meter (m³) contains 1,000L of water.

  Experience the benefits of Aquatic Clear Dam Flocculant and improve water clarity and quality in your aquatic environment. Follow the guidelines for effective treatment and enjoy a safer, cleaner, and more visually appealing waterbody.
