Achieve crystal-clear, healthy pond water naturally with the EasyPro Barley Straw Pellets in a convenient 125 lb bulk fiber drum.

Key Features & Benefits of EasyPro Barley Straw Pellets:
-
100% Natural Algae Control: Made from highly concentrated barley straw, these pellets naturally decompose to release humic substances. These compounds, when exposed to sunlight and oxygen, produce low levels of hydrogen peroxide, which gently and effectively helps to inhibit the growth of green water and string algae.
-
Fast-Acting & Extended Release: Unlike traditional barley bales, these pellets begin to break down quickly upon contact with water, providing fast-acting treatment. They offer a steady and extended release of active ingredients for up to eight weeks, ensuring continuous pond conditioning.
-
Superior Water Clarity: By actively working to control algae and improve water chemistry, EasyPro Barley Straw Pellets help to keep your pond water clean, clear, and aesthetically pleasing.
-
Safe for All Aquatic Life: This all-natural product is completely safe for fish, aquatic plants, pets, and wildlife, allowing you to treat your pond without harming its inhabitants.
-
Less Messy Than Bales: The convenient pelletized form is significantly less messy and easier to handle and apply than traditional barley straw bales.
-
Versatile Application: Can be applied directly to the pond water, ideally in areas with movement and less than 3 feet deep. For continuous effectiveness, they can also be placed in a mesh bag within a biological waterfall filter or shallow water.
-
Bulk Economy: The 125 lb bulk fiber drum provides a cost-effective solution for treating larger ponds or for regular maintenance of multiple water features.
Application Rates:
-
For Water Features & Koi Ponds: Apply 8 oz (approximately 1 scoop) per 300 gallons of pond water. Reapply every 6 to 8 weeks.
-
For Larger Ponds (by Surface Acre): Apply 120 lbs per surface acre. Broadcast the pellets evenly into the pond. Reapply every 6 to 8 weeks.
-
Initial Cloudiness: It's normal for water to become briefly cloudy after application; this will typically clear within a few days.
-
Best Results: Apply early in the season before algae growth becomes problematic. For enhanced results, consider using in conjunction with EasyPro All Season Bacteria and Phosphate Binder.

Large ponds, lakes, and extensive water features struggling with green water or string algae.
