AquaShadow Black Dye

A water-soluble black pond dye that gives water a dark, reflective appearance while reducing light penetration that can contribute to nuisance algae and weed growth.

Product details & application

• Creates a dark, mirror-like appearance and can reduce visibility of submerged equipment.
• Acts as a light-screening treatment rather than directly killing established weeds or algae.
• Natural water movement disperses the dye; the supplied information estimates color can last about 30–60 days depending on inflow and weather.

Key plants / growth controlled

• Helps suppress nuisance underwater weed and algae growth by reducing sunlight. Not intended for surface plants such as duckweed or lilies, or emergent plants such as cattails.

Application examples

• 1.0 acre pond: 1.0 gal
• 0.75 acre pond: 0.75 gal
• 0.50 acre pond: 0.50 gal
• 0.25 acre pond: 0.50 gal
• Client guidance is based on approximately 1 gal per acre at an average depth of 4 ft.
