Product Info

Restore your pond’s health by applying PhosControl to bind and inactivate free phosphorus in the water.  PhosControl clarifies the water as it binds to inorganic sediments and nutrients in the water. PhosControl settles on the bottom the pond where it will bind to phosphorus that leeches out of the sediment.

Each pound of phosphorus can foster 500 pounds of aquatic plant/algae growth; the use of PhosControl is especially important.

Benefits:

  • Active ingredient: Aluminum sulfate ground
  • Safe for fish and wildlife
  • No fishing or irrigation restrictions
  • Simple application

FAQ

What is PhosControl good for?

PhosControl is used to remove free phosphorus from the water and to clarify water.

What does phosphate remover do?

Phosphorus is the number one nutrient algae need to grow. PhosControl binds to phosphorus before plants and algae can use it.

How to apply PhosControl?

Use a scoop or broadcast spreader to evenly distribute PhosControl over the water.

Is granular or liquid better?

PhosControl is fine granules and is best broadcast directly. It can be mixed with water to make a slurry (it doesn’t dissolve completely for a few days). Use a nozzle wider than 1/4 inch in diameter and agitate often.

Is PhosControl safe for fish and wildlife?

Yes, PhosControl is safe to use with the fish, frogs, turtles, etc. in the water as well as the animals that come visit.

Will PhosControl kill algae?

No, PhosControl will not kill algae or plants that are already present. It bonds with phosphorus, taking that nutrient out of the equation and thus helping to prevent future growth.

When should I apply PhosControl?

The best times to apply PhosControl are early spring and late fall when plants/algae are dormant.

When will I see results after applying PhosControl?

PhosControl can clear up your water in a matter of a few hours to a day.

    Been using it for a year now, made a huge difference in our pond. Our pond has never looked so good.

  2. Kendall Card Card (verified owner) –

    After two years of usage my pond has shown significant improvement!

  3. John Shaw (verified owner) –

    Have used this product for years, always with great results. would highly recommend it, make sure you ck your Ph levels after you use it in your pond as it will lower them.

  4. wilderpress –

    I use PhosControl every Spring and Fall for my natural pond (1/4 acre) to help keep nutrients down from the large fish and debris. Each year it’s better and better helping to control various Algae and keeping fish safe from disease. I also use many other Lake Restoration products and have for over 15 years.

  5. Joe Blackwell –

    This is great product and it works. Best results when used before algae start to grow.

  6. Anonymous (verified owner) –

    you need to remove the comments about controlling algae. this is not an algaecide.

  7. Anonymous (verified owner) –

    this stuff killed algae and cleared the water so well in my ponds, I started using a phosphate remover in my pool and same result, no more algae

  8. Anonymous (verified owner) –

    I use this product in my pond management business consistently with very good results. I prefer it with Pre – Spring treatment, or pre emergent. Usually with a dye and or algaecide.
