You do not want to treat the entire pond with Cutrine Plus Algaecide all at once so that you do not harm the fish or other aquatic life. You will need to treat 1/2 of the pond and wait 2 weeks and do the second treatment. Please see the product label for complete application instructions.

Whether Cutrine Plus Algaecide will work best for your needs will depend on the specific type of algae as well as the severity of the issue. Anytime you are treating heavy growth, it will be more difficult to achieve sufficient control. You should also expect multiple applicaitons for heavy infestations since you should never treat more than 1/3 - 1/2 of a pond at once.
For fast results on most algae, GreenClean Pro is a contact algaecide that destorys algae almost immediately. Keep in mind that many factors contribute to algae growth, including water temperature, excessive nutrients in the water (such as fertilizer runoff), and lots of sunlight. We also recommend using a pond cleaner such as Crystal Blue Natural Pond Cleaner to help reduce dead plant matter, excessive nutrients, and other contributing factors. Many folks also use a pond dye to reduce sunlight deeper in the ponds and to improve appearance.
