When it comes to dosing, the initial recommendation is to use 2 tablespoons for every 500 gallons of water or 3 pounds per acre-foot. Afterward, you should continue with a weekly application of 1 tablespoon for every 500 gallons or ½ pound per acre-foot. To utilize the product effectively, first dilute each dose in at least 1 gallon of pond water. Then, distribute the mixture evenly across the pond's surface using either a manual sprayer or a trash/diaphragm pump.

For optimal results, it is advisable to apply the product when the ambient temperature ranges from 50° to 90°F, the dissolved oxygen level exceeds 1.0 ppm, and the pH level remains between 6 and 8 with alkalinity below 100 ppm. Increasing the level of dilution during application can further enhance the product's performance. Proper aeration is also essential to optimize the efficacy of the bacteria. It is important not to mix this product with bactericides or quaternary disinfectants, as these substances can harm or deactivate the beneficial bacteria.
