What is Extract of Barley Straw?
Extract of Barley Straw is a liquid version of the barley straw bales sold to treat algae in ponds, but because it is a concentrated liquid it works faster and is simpler to use.
What does Extract of Barley Straw do?
It acts as a natural algae control, balancing the pond chemistry to provide healthy water, fish and plants free from green water, string algae and blanket weed.
We recommend dosing 125 mls per 1000 gallons as an initial dose followed by 20 - 40mls per week. This ensures a background level is maintained within the pond to ensure that it works effectively. If using Extract of Barley Straw as a preventative measure, we recommend starting to dose it at the beginning of March at a rate of 20 mls per week.
Please note that the above dosages are given as a guideline, as all ponds and all algae are different and respond differently to treatment. Extract of Barley Straw is a totally natural product, so it may take a few weeks before you see the full effect. If you are not satisfied that it is working quickly enough, you can add more as it will not harm your fish, pond plants, wildlife or pets.
What are the benefits of using Extract of Barley Straw?
Its regular use will help control blanket weed algae & green water. As it is totally natural and safe to use you can rest assured that precious fish or plants will not be affected by it.
Is there any anything that stops AquaHydrotech Extract of Barley from working?
Extract of Barley Straw works well under most conditions, but you may require a higher dose in ponds with a high silt content.
Is there a situation where it cannot be used?
No, it is safe to use in even the most sensitive environments.
One 250 ml bottle will treat up to 1000 gallons of pond water.
How do I dose it into my pond?
It is supplied in a bottle with a measure on it, so it is easy to measure the dose required. It is best added near to a re-circulating system or pond pump to ensure it is well mixed, but otherwise, it can simply be sprinkled across the surface of the water.
What happens if I add too much?
Don't worry. It is a totally natural product and no harm can be done by adding too much. It may even remove the algae more quickly.
