Pond sludge & muck removers are formulated specifically for the removal of organic bottom solids (sludge) that are slow to degrade. They work faster at warm water temperatures, however, may be used effectively at any temperatures year-round. They are especially helpful for ponds that have a rock or gravel bottom and where vacuuming is impractical.
