When
AlgiStraw is allowed to breakdown in your pond, natural
chemicals and micro-organisms are produced, which inhibit the
growth of algae. Research has shown that blanketweed in particular
is controlled by AlgiStraw, however suspended algae may
also be reduced.
AlgiStraw's
wide, flat design pouch and finely chopped straw gives it the
maximum surface area possible, thus ensuring maximum algicidal
activity. Multiple bag perforations allow water and oxygen to
freely flow through - guaranteeing excellent biological and chemical
activity.
AlgiStraw
takes between 2-4 weeks to become active depending on water temperature.
Once it has become active it will work for a period of up to 3
months, after this point the mat must be removed. For continuous
protection add a further mat approximately 1 month before removing
the first mat.
