While a pond or lake can enhance the look of your property, adding pond dye can improve the aesthetics of any water feature. At Healthy Ponds, we have several pond dye<\/strong><\/a> options, but first, let\u2019s take a look at this popular pond product.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Pond Dye Is Easy To Apply<\/h2>\n

We have two dye colors blue and black, and you can select between using pond dye granules<\/strong><\/a> or our water-soluble bags. Granules can be an easy option for smaller water features, while water-soluble bags are ideal for larger ponds and small lakes. With the bag option, you gently toss the bag into the center of your pond.<\/p>\n

If you are using multiple bags of pond dye<\/strong><\/a>, we recommend that you distribute these evenly throughout the pond for the best results. With the granules, you will want to add these at various locations around your pond. With both options, applying the dye upwind will help the dye disperse more evenly throughout the pond water.<\/p>\n

The most difficult part of the pond dye process is deciding which dye color to select. Our blue pond dye will provide you with a blue ocean appearance, while the black dye will provide you with a lovely reflective surface. Black dyes are typically the choice of golf course superintendents as these tend to look the most natural in a golf course setting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Pond Dye Works Quickly<\/h2>\n

Most of our customers are surprised to discover how quickly the appearance of the pond transforms after an application of pond dye. It only takes about 24 hours for the dye to spread throughout the pond.<\/p>\n

In general, the effects of the pond dye should last about 30 days, but you may need to treat the water more frequently. Rainfall, sunlight and general pond conditions will affect how frequently you will need to reapply the dye. We recommend that you document how much dye you applied and the date on which you applied the dye as this can help you determine the timing and amount of product needed for future applications.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Pond Dye Won\u2019t Harm Fish (or Wildlife, People & Pets)<\/h2>\n

We are frequently asked \u2013 does pond dye harm fish? Rest assured, our pond dyes<\/strong><\/a> are completely safe for fish as well as any livestock that might use the pond as a water source.<\/p>\n

Additionally, if you swim in your pond or your dogs enjoy splashing about in the pond, the pond dye will not harm either your human or canine family members and our pond dyes are veterinarian approved. If you use your pond as a source for irrigation, using pond dye is safe for all types of crops.<\/p>\n

In keeping with our goal of providing customers with all-natural pond care products, our pond dyes are formulated using certifiable food-grade quality dyes. While the dyes are safe, it is important to keep in mind that we do recommend wearing gloves and work clothes when applying your pond dye, as it can stain your skin and clothing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Got Pond Water Issues? Don\u2019t Add Pond Dye Just Yet<\/h2>\n

You may have read that pond dye blocks some UV rays, thus potentially helping to regulate pond water temperatures during the hottest months of the year (especially in the shallow areas of the pond). Lower water temperatures can help to prevent the growth of aquatic vegetation and floating green organic matter, but pond dye cannot fix water quality or clarity issues.<\/p>\n

If your pond has an abundance of pond weeds or perhaps a preponderance of floating green organic matter, these issues need to be dealt with before adding pond dye. Likewise, if you have a smelly, stagnant pond with brown or gray or pea soup green water, you\u2019ll need to mitigate these issues prior to adding pond dye.<\/p>\n

If you are experiencing water quality issues, Healthy Ponds has many effective and easy-to-use products that can help solve the most common pond water issues. We also offer free personalized treatment plans for any size water feature at https:\/\/healthyponds.com\/free-pond-plan\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve restored the water quality in your pond, we recommend treating the pond monthly with our AquaSpherePRO\u00ae<\/strong><\/a> product. This pond maintenance<\/strong><\/a> product contains beneficial bacteria for ponds. These bacteria consume excess nutrients in the pond water, which can help prevent the rapid accumulation of floating green organic matter.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have a source of aeration in your pond, we recommend adding one as soon as possible. Keeping the water moving can reduce water temperatures and more efficiently distribute beneficial bacteria to all areas of your pond.<\/p>\n

Bottom diffusion systems typically are the best option, but some pond owners prefer a surface aerator, such as a waterfall. If you have a large, deep pond, it\u2019s best to go with a bottom diffusion system, although some pond owners will still add a fountain just for the ambiance. When combined with pond dye, a beautiful healthy pond with a fountain will enhance the look of any property.<\/p>\n
