EASYCARE 50008 Fountec Algaecide and Clarifier, 8 Fl. Oz Bottle

This stuff works! It cleaned up the water in our fountain quickly and easily. It got the green right on out.

I've used this product for several years and it works great in the outdoor fountain on my patio. It only takes 1 or 2 drops per gallon of water. I'm in a warm humid climate in Arkansas and have no problems with algae while using this product. I also have dogs who regularly drink from the fountain so I can verify this is not toxic to pets when diluted in water according to the directions.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Great stuff, works and safe for bird baths. We also use it for a 3 tier fountain and algae is gone. Don't hesitate!

I have a 5ft tall indoor water fountain that I've had for years. It still works great and still looks good. The nice soft sound of water is great and soothing but I hadn't ran it in months because I was tired of the process of cleaning it every 3 to 4 weeks. The water would always turn icky within a couple of weeks and normally by the end of the 3rd week it would develop an odor. I didn't mind cleaning the fountain during the spring and summer but it was terrible in the winter dealing with water outside when it's below freezing! I tried cleaning the fountain in my tub but i could t properly flush the internal hoses of all the gunk that built up from the icky water so I found that taking the fountain outside and flushing with a hosepipe worked best. I always debated over putting a few drops of bleach in the water but was always worried about the bleach breaking down the pump over time or worst breaking down the internal rubber hoses that couldn't be replaced so I dealt with cleaning.Back in November we had some unusually warmth days so I did some things around the house and decided to clean up the fountain. After I cleaned it I did a Google search to see what people recommended and I saw a few people mention a algaecide. I searched for one on Amazon but didn't know which one to buy but FounTec caught my eye because it said environmentally friendly. It arrived and I was shocked to see that it said one DROP per gallon. I put in two drops and ran the fountain..every week I put in two drops but I admittedly missed a couple of weeks in December. Well here we are at the 2 month mark and my fountain is still as clear and clean as it was the day I cleaned it. I stuck my hand in the water to see if it was icky or slimy and it wasn't. I am very impressed because at 2 drops a week this bottle will probably last me well over a year. I can't even tell I've been using the bottle for 2 months now, it's still full.I can't recommend this solutions enough. This stuff will allow me to skip cleaning my fountain during the winter. Heck I can probably hold off on cleaning until the summer! I'm sure the water will still be clean and crystal clear but it's good to take everything apart and clean and check it occasionally. Consider me highlights impressed. If you're having doubts about buying this product for your indoor fountain then stop! It's worth it and will cut down on how often you have to clean the fountain!

It WORKS!!Keeps my fountain clear of algae! Used last summer and didn’t have to scrub it clean this spring when i set it up after winter. Keeps the water sparkling! Safe for birds!

Doesn't keep the green from growing on the sides and bottom, although it seems to help keep the water itself clear.

I have been using Aquascape products for the past three years - Liquid Clean product, which goes through a pump system, and supplementing with Ecoblast, which addresses string algae. There was always a green residue on some of the rocks and I’ve been having to use the granular Ecoblast every week. Too many chemicals and it would become dirty within a day.We put the appropriate amount of this product in the pond and it has never been more clean!!One step and you’ve got a clean pond!! So happy with the product and result!

So far, I love this stuff. I’ve been fighting algae in my birdbath seems like forever. I cleaned my birdbath and then filled it up with water, and put a drop or two of this product in the water and no problems for over a week.
