Not Rocket Sciences 4X Blue Pond Dye & Cleaner, 1 Gallon — Concentrated Aquashade with Enzymes

This concentrated 2-in-1 formula combines vivid aquashade with biological enzymes to both change water color and support clearer, healthier pond conditions. Designed for easy application, the product shades sunlight, slows unwanted algae growth by limiting light penetration, and introduces enzymes that target sludge and organic buildup. Because it is four times more concentrated than many brands, a small amount treats a large surface area, making it cost-effective for seasonal and year-round pond care.

How quickly will I see the blue color and how long does it last?

Color appears immediately after application along the edge and blends across the pond within hours as water circulates. Duration depends on sunlight exposure, pond depth, and inflow, typically lasting several weeks before a top-up is needed.

• Instant visible blue where poured, full blending in hours
• Reapply every 4–8 weeks for sustained color
• Use 1–2 quarts per surface acre at 4–6 feet depth per application

What does the enzyme component do for pond maintenance?

The added enzymes help break down organic sludge and muck, improving clarity over time without harsh chemicals. These natural biological agents accelerate decomposition of leaves, grass clippings, and other organic waste that settle on the pond bottom.

• Targets organic buildup to reduce sludge accumulation
• Supports biological clarity rather than masking problems
• Works continuously between applications to maintain cleaner water

Is this safe for fish, wildlife, and plant life?

This aquashade is formulated to be pond-friendly when used as directed, combining visual enhancement with a gentle enzymatic cleaner. It shades water to moderate temperature and light without introducing harsh biocides, supporting a balanced ecosystem for fish, birds, and livestock.

• Non-toxic formula intended for pond ecosystems
• Helps protect aquatic life by reducing extreme sunlight and heat
• Follow label rates to ensure safe concentrations

How much do I need and how do I apply it?

No pre-mixing is required—simply pour along the shoreline or distribute evenly across the surface. Because this product is 4X concentrated, a little goes a long way compared with standard pond dyes.

• Application rate: 1–2 quarts per surface acre (4–6 ft depth)
• Reapply every 4–8 weeks or as color fades
• Pour from container edge; use boat or spreader for larger ponds
