Clearing Muddy Dam Water Using WaterTreats Flocculant

G'day. In this video I run through the process we use to clear muddy dam water using a flocculant. We recommend using WaterTreats Flocculant (lovemypond.com.au/product/cle...) although you can also use other flocculants.

What can you do with tanin stained dam water

[@scottytucker3571]

Hi Ray, unfortunately this is a tough one as it's often the leaf litter getting into the water that produces the tannin look. I'm assuming you have trees hanging over or near the water? I made a video on this: czcams.com/video/FufjZIu8DY0/video.html

Is this stuff safe for fish and yabbies?

[@scottytucker3571]

Yes, as long as it's not grossly overdosed. It's an alum-based product which means there's a risk of sudden pH drop if severely overdosed. It's got a much higher safety margin than standard alum but there's still a risk. If you do some bucket testing before treating to give you a better idea of how much you'll need, then you'll know the ballpark range you should operate in. A bit more than this will be fine but a big overdose should be avoided. We haven't had anyone do any damage to fish or yabbies and we've been using if for over a decade.
