Monterey Blue Pond Dye
Monterey Blue Pond Dye
Blue Pond Dye, by Monterey, is a concentrated pond dye that adds beauty to ponds, lakes, fountains, lagoons, etc. coloring them a beautiful and natural looking blue color.
Monterey Blue Pond Dye will not stain birds or other wildlife and is safe to use in waterbodies used for swimming, irrigation, and other recreational sports once the dye has been dissipated. Apply a quart of the product for each acre of water that is between 4 and 6 feet deep for an improved aesthetic and help prevent algae growth.
Tools Needed
It is recommended that you use a container that can easily be used to pour the dye in the waterbody, such as a sprayer or bucket.
How to Use
- Step 1: Measure the size and volume of the body of water to determine how much Monterey Blue Pond Dye you will need. Do this by calculating the surface area and depth, and then multiply them together to get the waterbody's volume.
- Step 2: Measure the appropriate amount of Monterey Blue Pond Dye in a container to treat your pond. It is recommended to use 1 quart per surface acre at 4 to 6 feet of depth. However, you can use more if a deeper blue is desired.
- Step 3: Pour in the dye at intervals around the pond. The water's natural current will eventually disperse the dye.
Where to Use
Monterey Blue Pond Dye can be used to dye lakes, ponds, and lagoons.
When to Use
Use whenever a deep blue is desired. It is best if used before or at the start of the spring months to prevent algae and other aquatic weed growth.
Safety Information
Monterey Blue Pond Dye is non-toxic and safe to use around humans and animals when applied following label directions. Always wear proper personal protective equipment when handling.
Special Considerations
Monterey Blue Pond Dye is safe to use and non-toxic, but it may cause temporary staining to clothes and hands when handling.
