Advantages
Chemtech’s biologically active formula contains a proprietary blend of bacterial strains that were selected for the ability to breakdown excess waste material in ponds and reduce the amount of available phosphorous causing a reduction in the algal population.
Chemtech’s naturally occurring cultures efficiently digest pond bottom materials and reduce the organic matter in the water column leading to cleaner water and higher oxygen levels. The bacteria are stabilized and shipped in spore form, ensuring long term stability and extended shelf-life.
Multilevel quality assurance processes extend far beyond our doors. Purity and microbial concentration is guaranteed for consistent and superior biological products in the hands of your customers.
Field Test
As demonstrated in the graph above, the application of Pond Clear Powder resulted in a significant reduction in Chlorophyll A, a measure of algal concentration, Phosphorous, and turbidity. These results were not generated in a laboratory, they were obtained under actual field conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Pond Clear and what does it do?
Chemtech Pond Clear is a biological pond treatment that reduces pond sludge, turbidity and the nutrients that algae need to grow. It is a powder made from combining naturally occurring Bacillus bacteria. It is super-effective for clarification and organic waste digestion in turbid ponds, lagoons and open water bodies of limited size.
How does Pond Clear work?
Pond Clear contains a proprietary blend of bacterial strains selected for their ability to break down excess waste in ponds and reduce available phosphorus, which in turn reduces the algae population. The bacteria produce enzymes that digest pond-bottom materials and reduce organic matter in the water column, which gives cleaner water and higher oxygen levels.
How much Pond Clear should I use, and how often?
The recommended schedule is per surface acre of pond:
- Week 1: 8 lb
- Weeks 2, 3: 6 lb each
- Weeks 4, 5: 4 lb each
- Weeks 6, 7: 2 lb each
After that, maintain with 2 lb per surface acre each month as needed.
Is the product safe for the environment?
Pond Clear contains naturally occurring, non-engineered Bacillus species that are nonpathogenic, salmonella-free and contaminant-free. It is completely safe for facilities and personnel to handle. The bacteria are shipped as 100% stabilized spores.
What conditions does Pond Clear work in, and how long does it keep?
Chemtech Pond Clear is effective across a pH of 5.0 to 10.0 and temperatures from 5 to 55°C (40 to 130°F), so it can be used in all climates and seasons. Since the bacterial formulation is shipped as stabilized spores, the shelf life is a full 12 months when stored at 21°C (70°F).
