A Simple Solution to Clear Cloudy Pond Water

Ponds are often quite murky in the spring and early summer. After a long winter with no filtration, ponds are usually full of fine particles floating in the water, which cause murky brown cloudy water. These fine particles are often small enough to pass right through many pond filters so your pond water can remain cloudy for quite some time. If you want to clear your pond water quickly and easily here is a simple solution.

Fine Filter Pads and RapiClear

Using Fine filter Pads and RapiClear Pond Flocculent together provide a 1-2 punch that clears pond water fast. Fine filter pads are very dense so they are able to pick up very small particles. RapiClear is made from an all-natural polymer that causes suspended particles to ‘clump’ together so that they are more easily filtered out of the water, a process called ‘flocculation’. When you use combine these 2 products and use them together, cloudy water doesn’t stand a chance.
