Muck Remover GP - 150 Pellets | Koi Pond Sludge Remover | Safe for Fish | Treats 5,000 Gallons up to 5 Months

My pond is dry all summer, fills to overflowing in rainy season by seasonal creek carrying runoff “nutrients” from uphill roads and properties, drowning the summer grasses which then start decaying, so it gets super mucky and foul until it dries up in early June. For first time this year I installed low power pump and filter to keep the water circulating, but it wasn’t enough to filter out enough of the nutrients so I tried tossing in these pellets as instructed, they worked amazingly well to clarify the water - I repeated every few weeks as the rains brought more “nutrients” and decaying continued. The water quality was good enough for a pair of ducks to take up residence in the pond for several months which was super rewarding. if I can run electrical down there I can get a more powerful pump and filtration next rainy season, but in any case I definitely plan to keep using this product.

My 1800 gallon koi pond is 30 years old. The fish are from 4 years old to 30. It is harder to keep up with the waste and debris as ponds age and fish get bigger but this seems to do the trick. The waterfall is running faster and the pump is quieter. The water is clearer. I also have a UV system running so the cleaner the water the less the UV has to work. I’m very happy with the results of this product.

Works ok but too expensive for continued use

Small pond.(10x20-4 feet deep) & recirculating waterfall. So it's well aeriated. It has a liner, but was neglected for many years. So lots of leaf litter. I am not finding that the litter is degrading. I am still dragging the bottom and removing it manually.

Our 1 acre pond was flooded during a heavy rain event by surface water runoff this summer, leaving it cloudy and brown - mostly from the churning of the pond bottom by the rapidly flowing water. It also had some algae blooms beginning.Based on some user comments, I decided to use the entire 25 pounds for the initial treatment - throwing handfuls of the pellets into the pond from the shore - out to the middle of the pond. We have a windmill aeration system which provides air to two bottom diffusers as well. I purchased a second order and 3 weeks later, I added the recommended 8 cups of pellets to the pond (the instructions say 8 cups every two weeks).Two weeks after that second treatment, the water in the pond is the clearest it has ever been in the three years we have owned it. You can easily see the bottom 15 - 20 feet out from the shore - prior the best was maybe 5 feet out. THIS. WORKS.Those who do not see the results they expect may need to increase the initial treatment - which stings you in the wallet as this stuff is by no means inexpensive. However, once the clarity of the water is attained, the bi-weekly treatment is not that pricey. And at least for our situation, THIS WORKS!Delivery was fast and the packaging very good.We will definitely buy this again and continue to use it as a part of our pond maintenance routine.Also - the seller provides a few packets of wildflower seeds with each order - a nice surprise that will help us feed the pollinators next spring and summer!

AMAZING product! We have a 1/2 acre swimming hole/pond in southeast Idaho. The pond gets up to 12 feet deep, with an average depth of 6 feet. Most of the shoreline is gravelly with dirt and clay mix. The bottom of the pond is the same. Some of the shoreline is sand, which we brought in from some local sand dunes. Our pond developed slimy, mucky areas which were disturbing to walk on. Our guests were creeped out by the slime spots and grab-your-feet muck spots. I applied muck remover enzyme tablets though out the pond and saw (felt) dramatic results within a week of the first application. I apply Muck Remover once a month during the swimming season to ensure a muck-free shoreline and pond floor. It's an amazing product! I also use pond dye along with the muck remover tablets to help keep the pond water clear and "inviting". We get lots of compliments on our swimming hole because of the use of the products. BTW, we stock the pond with trout fish and the muck remover and pond dye don't negatively affect the fish at all. It's also safe for swimming in, and safe for the cows to drink the pond water.

I got this for my father.. and his acre pond. I haven’t see the effects of it. But all I have heard from him the last two weeks is how great it is.. he said it reduced the smell and really cleared it up fast. And he has bern raking the weeds of the shore. Knowing him he probably doubled the amount on the bag as advertised because he didn’t believe it would do anything.. but he got such a shock on how well it did work.. He is a true believer and bought more already in case he can’t find it again. Wish I had taken before and after pictures of it.. I know before it looked like a muck hole/ swamp.. now he said it’s back to trout pond, seeing all the fish swimming from shore.

keeps my pond clean and fresh
