Could application of this product harm plants or animals in the environment?

Is there a chance that the Clearflow Product(s) might over-dose and cause toxicity issues?

Clearflow PondGel is designed to only release when there is turbulent flow, therefore stagnant water will only result in a very limited discharge when the product swells after absorbing water. Simply remove the diffuser after your water is clean, leave it to dry for two to four hours, and then put it in a sealed bag for subsequent treatments.

WHERE DOES THE PONDGEL GO IN MY POND?

To ensure results, the PONDGEL diffuser must be submerged in turbulent flowing water. Place in close proximity to waterfalls, pump discharge locations, or other areas where water energy is present, install the device using the mounting holes to a rock, stake, or other object. Avoid eddies and low-flow zones. Water that is still will prevent the product from working.

I HAVE PLACED THE PONDGEL IN MY POND AND IT ISN’TDOING ANYTHING.

The PondGel requires flow energy to release the product. It is possible that the product is placed in an area of the pond with little or no flow.

partially hydrated when purchased. The swelling is indicative that the product is ready to release from the diffuser.
