BENEFITS: Reduces sunlight penetration into the water that promotes weed and algae growth. Beautiful deep "Lake Like" appearance. Hides submergent weeds and algae. Using Blue Reflections WSP to create natural appearing blue water is easy and inexpensive. Blue Reflections WSP is the perfect colorant for lakes, ponds, water hazards, or large fountains. In addition, it can still be used for other purposes, such as irrigation, without discoloring turf, concrete, or other surfaces. Blue Reflections WSP is a highly concentrated blend of dry-flow-able colorants in easy-to-use water-soluble packets (WSP's). Unlike liquid colorants, WSP's totally eliminate any need for measuring or for any applicator contact with the colorant. Here are some examples of what you won't experience with Blue Reflections WSP: Muddy shoes or boots from standing on shorelines and pouring liquid colorant directly in the water. Cleanup of messy liquid colorant residue. Plastic jugs or bottles to throw away. After you toss the packets into the water, they dissolve quickly and easily, leaving no residue. Blue Reflection's exclusive formula disperses the colorant quickly. Easy to calculate, simple to dispense Each Blue Reflections WSP packet weighs less than 1/2 pound. So the packets are easy to handle. And because the packets are pre-measured, rate calculations are simple to make—no matter how large or small a body of water you are treating. Each packet treats one acre-foot of water. The rate chart tells you the number of packets recommended. All you have to do is toss in the correct number of packets. And that's it. You're done.
The dye can last from 4 months down to 1 week depending on rainfall, water flow through the pond (or retention time of the pond) and the desired shading you want to keep. On an average: 4-6 weeks. We have local retention ponds that require a boost every 2 weeks throughout the season. Usually it is the smaller ponds that have the potential of rainfall and watershed diluting the dye quickly. Just add more dye to get the desired shading back. Adding more dye throughout the season will keep your pond looking great.
