Before You Start: The most effective use of Fountec is best achieved when fountain and water garden equipment has been checked and working properly. If needed, backwash or clean filter according to instructions. Occasional small use of chlorine product or non-chlorine shock helps remove organic waste and excessive algae growths. Follow recommended dosages for your water feature size.

Maintenance: To maintain water clear and algae-free, add the proper Fountec initial dosage under "clean" for your fountain size. The addition of Fountec "Weekly Dosage" makes for easier maintenance by keeping water clear and algae free.
Cleanup: For maximum effectiveness, water containing heavy algae growth should be cleaned of excess debris. Add and disperse proper Fountec dosage under "Visible Algae" directly to water. Superchlorination or shock treatments synergies with Fountect to improve the control of algae. In fountains; a non-chlorine shock is recommended, follow label directions. Operate circulation pump during the algae cleanup period to ensure thorough distribution and maximum cleanup effect.
