    Mizzen, a Copper Based Algaecide

    Mizzen is a copper based algaecide that is designed for pond and lake algae usage, including both planktonic and filamentous algae, as well as Chara and Nitellas like starry stonewort. Mizzen is a liquid chelated copper that can be diluted with water and sprayed directly over algae blooms.

    Algae actively grow from spring into autumn, and as summer temperatures climb, algae growth can be overwhelming without assistance. Our Mizzen algaecide is an EPA approved algaecide that comes in an easy-to-use concentrate. Algae blooms can occur every 10-14 days during the peak summer season. Mizzen is a product to help our valued consumers control their algae and pond scum issues with minimal effort.

    Our Mizzen algaecide is available in a variety of sizes and can be used in many types of water bodies, including ponds, lakes, and water gardens or features. Whether a pint, gallon, or many gallons are needed, Lake Restoration has Mizzen in stock and ready to ship, with bulk discounts when buying 8 or more gallons at a time.

    Our signature Pond Products Package includes Mizzen. This popular set of four products controls floating and submerged weeds, algae, reduces nutrients, and dyes the water. With a few simple steps, you will be on your way to a beautiful, clear and healthy pond!

    Our Dock and Swim Area Products package also includes Mizzen algaecide to kill algae around your dock or swimming area. Dibrox and Mizzen are quickly absorbed by the plants and algae, allowing for effective management and control in small areas of larger water bodies. This set also includes MuckMaid for muck removal once the weeds are under control.

    Mizzen may be used in fresh water lakes, potable water reservoirs, ponds, water gardens, fish hatcheries, irrigation ditches and other slow moving water bodies. It also can be used in irrigation systems, fountains, water features and other moving water.

    Mizzen is mixed with water and evenly sprayed across the surface, or it can be used to spot treat algae mats as needed. While copper algaecides offer the best results, if trout, koi, or channel catfish are present in a pond, an alternative such as Cape Furl is suggested. These specific types of fish have a sensitivity to copper.

    Mizzen is manufactured by Lake Restoration, Inc in Rogers, MN.
