Block","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePond Water Conditioner and Clarifier\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Atlantic Water Gardens 8 lb. block is a concentrated, slow-dissolving pond water conditioning treatment designed to clarify water, reduce dissolved organics, and improve overall pond water quality over an extended treatment period. The block format provides a sustained-release delivery mechanism — rather than a single large dose, the block dissolves gradually over several weeks as pond water flows across its surface, delivering a consistent treatment concentration that is easier for the pond ecosystem to process than intermittent large additions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace the block in an area of the pond with moderate water movement — near a pump discharge, skimmer intake, or waterfall base. Water flowing across the block surface dissolves the active treatment material at a controlled rate determined by water temperature and flow velocity. Higher temperatures and faster flow increase dissolution rate; cooler, slower-moving water reduces it. Position accordingly for the desired treatment intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParticularly useful in spring pond opening when accumulated organic matter from winter causes cloudy or discoloured water; during hot summer periods when algae and bacteria counts peak; and in autumn to reduce the organic load entering the pond from leaf fall and plant dieback before ice-over. Follow label dosing guidance for pond volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 lbs (3.6 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDelivery Format\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlow-dissolving block (sustained release)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePlacement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArea of moderate water movement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApplications\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpring opening, summer algae control, autumn prep\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow-dissolving block delivers sustained treatment over several weeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsistent concentration easier for pond ecosystem than intermittent dosing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition near water movement for controlled dissolution rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for spring, summer, and autumn pond water treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Water Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52698333544767,"sku":"OAS-94782","price":150.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8260\/9215\/files\/atlantic-water-gardens-fish-supplies-default-title-atlantic-water-gardens-8-lb-block-43287394189631.webp?v=1776379079","url":"https:\/\/pondsonline.ca\/products\/atlantic-water-gardens-8-lb-block","provider":"Ponds Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
