Half Off Ponds Barley Extract helps you achieve a beautiful pond with less maintenance. Half Off Ponds Barley Extract is an easy way to prevent and inhibit the growth of algae in ponds, fountains, and water gardens. As barley breaks down, it produces an extract that helps keep pond water clear. Half Off Ponds Barley Extract is scientifically formulated to support a natural balance in pond water and to help prevent the unwanted buildup of debris from forming in the pond.
Our Barley Extract liquid goes through a unique stabilization process to ensure a fresh and potent product is ready to work hard to keep your pond in pristine condition. This all-natural, organic formula is safe for fish, pets, and plants and will not clog fountain pumps.
Directions: Use 1 oz. per 1000 gal. Apply product around the edges of the pond. Apply in early spring and continue through entire growing season to avoid any undesirable build-up from occurring.
Note: Treatment quantity can be increased up to four times the regular dosage if extremely poor water quality exists or if pond is not properly filtered. 4 oz. for every 1000 gal. of pond water. For best results treat every 2 weeks to maintain consistent effectiveness. For optimal results ensure: A pH of 5.7-9.5, a water temperature of at least 48°F, and proper circulation via pump, fountain or waterfall.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. STORE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. FOR USE IN CLOSED SYSTEM PONDS ONLY.

Calculating Head Height
Example: 3' (vertical height) + 2.5 (25' of tubing) + 2' (for 2 elbows) = 7.5' of Dynamic Head Pressure
Note:It is important to take into consideration while calculating how much flow will be at the top of your waterfall by accounting for the head height due to the laws of fluid dynamics. Please refer to the flow chart above to help choose the correct pump.
