Review: Works within days - I don’t know how this works so well, but it does! I noticed it cleared up my pond within a matter of days and it’s been crystal clear for two weeks now. The only problem is the sinking- it has sunk twice and takes a couple days to dry out. Right now I have it drying out of the pond and the water is already starting to cloud up, so I just ordered some more. I would definitely recommend this to anyone with a pond, but wish there was something that kept it floating longer. But it’s totally worth the money for the effectiveness and ease!!
Review: Wow, this really works! - We have a new pond this summer and it gets about 9 hours of full sunlight. We got algae issues immediately. We knew it would take a while for the pond plants to grow and shade the water but it might take a long time. We used API Pond Algaefix (about half a cup) every 4-5 days to keep it from turning into complete pea soup. It would work a bit, but never get crystal clear which we were okay with. But every time we used it, some of the bigger fish we had (we inherited some 5 inch koi from friends) would look like they were in a coma for a day. They'd recover, but it didn't feel good to use a algae killer like that. Hence the search for an algae fixer that wasn't toxic to our fish. After reading, we decided to use this. It seemed like it would take up to a month for the barley straw to break down and release whatever miracle algae inhibiting chemicals. We also bought some Crystal Clear barley extract to jump start the process. So here's what happened. On day one, we added the two barley straw bundles to the top of our little waterfall. We added 1/4 cup of API Algaefix (because we figured there was NO way the barley would work that fast), plus about 3/4 cup of the Crystal Clear Barley extract. The pond was pretty cloudy. We couldnt' see the bottom (about 2 feet deep in some places). Day two: Pretty clear. Like, better than when we used the API Algaefix alone. We figured we're not sure what really worked, but hey, it worked, and the fish were swimming around looking very good. No coma fish. Day three-seven (it's been one week). Crystal clear. LIke, mountain stream picturesque crystal clear. There is NO way this sustained clarity has anything to do with the Algaefix or even the barley extract. WE can only think it's from the barley straw. It's amazing. The plants look great. The fish are healthy and getting fatter by the day. (We only feed them about once a week--most of the time they forage on their own and do great). The only caveat: we used to have water bugs and other water surface insects. We haven't seen a single once since the barley went in. No explanation for that. Weird. We have lots of dragonflies and they seem fine. All in all, SUCH an amazing product. We are so happy we did a little research and found this. No more algaecide! No more waiting for the pond plants to grow in. I'm shocked that it worked so fast and it's still going so great!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how does this work?**
A: Here’re two reputable sources of information to answer this question (and far more factual and clear than Jacksonrd’s response - QED): 
https://njaes.rutgers.edu/fs1171/ 
https://extension.psu.edu/barley-straw-for-algae-control

**Q: Do you just throw the bale in, or pull it apart?**
A: Throw the whole bale in as is.  Do not pull it apart.  It works better if you put it in an area of the pond where there is more water flow, like next to a waterfall.  I use a plastic zip tie or nylon cord to hold it in place near the edge of the pond near my waterfall.  It will float for a while, thats normal, eventually it will sink, so tying it helps you retrieve it.  A very small laundry bag works well too, to help keep it from fraying apart and to tie it in place.

**Q: Am I using these wrong?  I put 2 bales in a pond that should need only 1, and it didnt clear up my algae at all?**
A: I don't know how you are using it, but I floated one in my pond and somewhere between three and four weeks, the water started clearing and within a week it was crystal clear.  There will be moss growing on rocks, etc.  But the Algae in the water will be gone, including that nasty black line that was forming on my rocks from the algae.  worked like a charm for me.  I had no more algae problems after starting to use this product.  I do alternate between dry bales.  When one starts to sink from being totally soaked, I trade it out with a dry one and leave the wet one out on a rock to dry.  I repeat that cycle whenever it is starting to sink.

**Q: I have a simply lovely outdoor fountain little more than 6-9 feet in diameter, just a foot or do deep. Will this product work with this size fountain?**
A: The Summit 130 contains 2 bundles, each about 4" in diameter and 10 " long.  Based on my experience, one should suffice for a pond of your description, and the second. saved for next year, or used now if your pond is really cloudy.  This product will work best and most quickly, if placed where there is water flow (from pumps, waterfalls, returns, etc).  If your problem is related to algae in the water, please keep in mind that algae is a pant which needs sunlight to survive and reproduce.  Water lilies which can be rooted in underwater baskets) not only produce beautiful flowers, but the large green pads shade out much of the algae growth. Good luck.
