Due to the large volume of product needed, larger ponds (roughly 20,000 gallons or larger) generally require specialized treatment. While the general approach to pond clarification remains the same, there are the following special considerations: Click! Technical Description of Large Pond Treatment Small ponds as a rule receive more incoming nutrient load (nitrogen, phosphorous, dead leaves, animal waste, etc.) PER UNIT VOLUME than do large ponds. Therefore, the dose rate (in ppm added per month) is higher in small ponds than in large ponds. Normal retail size bottles will not be sufficient to treat larger ponds. We offer one gallon and 6 gallon product containers for large pond treatment. TLC for Large Ponds is formulated as "Professional Strength" to maximize results while minimizing costs when treating large ponds Click! Brochure On Large Pond Treatment For extremely large ponds (those greater than about 6 acre-feet or 5,000 m3 in volume, or even much larger than this cut-off level), greater economy is achieved by using specialized equipment that converts TLC concentrate into ready-to-use TLC product on or near the site. If you have an interest in this type of project, e-mail the information about the specific job to us, and include pond dimensions, comments on the water quality, any information about organic, inorganic, or hydraulic loading into the pond, general use of the pond, and history of other remedial efforts.
