1 Gallon Super Concentrate Dye

When to Use Pond Dye You may be wondering when it would be a good time to use pond dye. If you are having trouble with algae, you may consider pond dye as an alternative. However, remember to have an aeration system to get the most out of the pond dye. Using an aeration system would circulate the pond dye much more efficiently throughout the pond. The color would also be evenly distributed as the aeration takes place. How Much Pond Dye Should You Use? The amount of dye used in a pond will depend on its size. You can figure out the amount of dye you need by doing some calculations. By multiplying the acreage and depth of the pond, you can get an idea of how much water you have in your pond. Depending on your final numbers, you can calculate how much pond dye you will need to use. On average, a bottle of dye may be able to cover about 4 to 6 acres feet of water per bottle. You can try one bottle and make adjustments as needed. If you notice the transparency of the pond coming back, you can always add more.
