Muck Remover 5 lb

I bought a brand of koi food that turned the water brown, so I bought Muck Off, and now I am obsessed with this product. I use 15 pieces two weeks in my large pond, and Muck Off keeps my pond very clear! It might be expensive, but I do not mind the price because it works.

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.

Very helpful

Seems to be working. Spread it around my 2 acre pond that varies in depth from 6" to 12'. I've only used it for a couple of weeks but already can see the sandy bottom in places I couldn't before. I had already sprayed for algae and killed that so hopefully reducing the muck and using their 'phosphate eliminator' will keep my pond in better balance and looking good.

Half a bucket all ready applied. I cant tell the difference. Probably never going to purchase again. But others may notice a change in there ponds. So ya , it didn’t work for me. Meh it was worth a shot

The tabs are convenient, though increasingly very very expensive .

I have a small ~77 gallon pond. I cleaned it a few weeks ago so it only had a small amount of alge in it when I first tried this product There are no fish or plants in it. Simply water and a small fountain. I followed the instructions and put several pellets in the pond. After a week and a half there were no results. The alge remained. I then put a handful of this product in the pond. Its been a few days as of this writing,, but, once again there are no results. The alge has remained and has built up more since there has been no effective treatment to remove it. It's a great idea I only wish it worked.

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!
