WATER FOUNTAINS THE PROBLEM

Fountains and water features are often fed by tap water which contains excess nutrients such as phosphates. Even when utilising rainwater, airborne nutrients soon start to pollute this water. Animals and birds using this water add their pollutants to the mix.

CLEAN FOUNTAIN

These nutrients act as a food source for slime type algae, including filamentous algae, characteristically blanket weed which spreads in the form of long filaments, quickly covering the water surface with a woven filamentous growth and single-cell algae (which cause water to look green).

NATURES WAY - ALGAE BUILDUP 

Nature's way is if there is a food source, moisture and sunlight, something will grow, as there are always trillions of spores in the atmosphere waiting for their opportunity to germinate.

A nice clear water feature or garden fountain will start getting problems with biofilms within a couple of weeks from installation.

Nobody wants their water feature to look unsightly with slime type algae, filamentous algae and single-cell algae (which cause water to look green).

PUMP WATER FEATURE ISSUES

These pumps often become blocked with blanket weed and long filaments of algae, reducing water flow or, in worst-case scenarios, causing the pump to overheat and burn out.

OTHER HARMFUL MICROBES

As well as unsightly algae contamination, water can contain other harmful organisms. Hydra Fountain Clear - water feature treatment will reduce microbes by 99.9% in less than 3 hours, such as: Escherichia coli, Streptococcus agalactiae, Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Legionella pneumophila (responsible for Legionnaires Disease).  

ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY FOUNTAIN CLEANER

Discharge of the low concentrations commonly used in fountains poses no environmental threat. Because of its rapid hydrolysis, Hydra Fountain Clear is not recommended for use in systems above pH 9.0.

Works!!!
04 December 2022  | 

I was actually doubtful about this in the beginning but it does work. You will have to clean the tank and water feature. Remove all the moss. Apply it to the water and it keeps it clear for a long time. It lasts long. I applied mine 2 months ago and it is still clear. It says it is safe for plants so I just empty it on the grass next to my water feature. No harm done to the plants. Would recommend this to those with water features in their garden.

OMG it does what it claims to do
28 November 2022  | 

My little water feature in the front garden was looking a bit murky and grubby so I gave it a good clean, changed the water and left it running a few days, but the dreaded green slime started coming back. One dose of this and 12 hours later, not a speck of green just crystal clear water. It says its safe for wildlife too but just in case I do cover it with mesh for 12 hours after its weekly maintenance dose, but after that the big dog fox and birds coming to feed all help themselves with no ill effects.

26 November 2022  | 

My water feature was starting to get algae build up and a bit grubby but as soon as I started using this I never have to change the water - it makes it so crystal clear and reduces the build up! Highly recommend - just keep away from pets!

It works!
17 October 2022  | 

Didn't know I needed this stuff, but began to notice a bit of green appearing after a couple of months, so thought I'd give it a go. Initially threw in a double dose, and after a couple of days all was good. I now use it as recommended every month or so, and the water feature is clean!
