OVERVIEW

The foundation to a successful season.

Aquashade® isn’t just another colorant. It’s the only EPA registered dye on the market, meaning you not only get a beautiful pond when you use it – you’ll also halt underwater weed and algae growth.

WHEN TO APPLY

Apply proactively to control weeds and algae while improving aesthetics.

WHERE TO APPLY

Use wherever you need submersed Weed & Algae control.

Aquatic sites that may be treated include ponds, lakes, reservoirs, wetlands, marshes, swamps, bayous, lagoons and other impounded bodies of water with limited outflow.

Key Features

This EPA registered blend of specific dyes is proven to control underwater aquatic plants by limiting sunlight available for photosynthesis. Aquatic plant growth control has never been easier.
Powerful formulation is tested and proven to inhibit photosynthesis
The choice of professional applicators to prevent and control underwater weeds
Combine with herbicides or algaecides to control surface algae mats or shallow-water plants with maximum effectiveness

Step 1

Determine the size of your waterbody and measure out the amount of Aquashade needed.

Treatment Area (4 Feet Deep)	Aquashade – 0.5 PPM*	Aquashade – 0.8 PPM*	Aquashade – 1.5 PPM*
Up To 1/4 Acre	20 oz	32 oz	60 oz
Up To 1/2 Acre	40 oz	64 oz	120 oz
Up To 1 Acre	80 oz	1 gal	1.9 gal

Parts per million*

Step 2

Pour the desired amount of Aquashade directly into the water body from the shoreline in 1 to 2 locations.

Tips

For best results, apply Aquashade as a pre-emergent (prior to plant germination) before the growing season. Aquashade may even be applied directly onto ice cover, (where applicable). Using Aquashade during the growing season will suppress the rate and extent of underwater growth but may not eliminate it.
Allow at least one hour for Aquashade to disperse throughout the water body before using water for swimming, irrigation, or livestock watering and avoid pouring concentrate within 50 ft. of these intake/use areas, allowing dye to self-disperse into them.
