There is a string-like algae on my rocks and waterfall. What product can I use to fix it?

BELOW ARE THREE PRODUCTS THAT WILL HELP ELIMINATE AND CONTROL STRING ALGAE ON ROCKS AND WATERFALLS.

 

#1 EcoBlast:  EcoBlast is mainly used to eliminate that pesky string algae that generates from the waterfalls, streams and the pond itself. Anytime there is an issue with string algae, this product works best.  EcoBlast is an “on-contact” treatment and may cause a foamy/cloudy color to your water, but not to worry, once the treatment has worked the water will be clear.

 

#2 Algaecide:  No one wants a green pond so let us help you keep your water clear and reduce your pond maintenance with our easy-to-use, fast-acting Algaecide! Safe for fish and plants, Aquascape Algaecide will not discolor your water or make it cloudy when combating algae blooms.

  • Controls string algae
  • Clears green water
  • Can be used on ponds with fish and plants

 

#3 IonGen System:  The IonGen™ System G2 Electronic Algae Controller allows you to spend your time relaxing next to your water feature instead of trying to maintain it! The IonGen™ effectively kills algae without the use of traditional liquid chemicals and is designed with a microprocessor that sends a signal to its ion producing probe helping to control algae throughout the entire water feature.
