Barley Pads are the Clear Solution for Small Ponds

  • Encourages clearer ponds
  • Safe for fish, pets and plants
  • Treats ponds and water gardens that are 10 to 700 gallons for 3 to 4 months
  • For best results, place in the pond early in the season
  • Barley Pad Refills and Flotation Frames are also available
  • For larger ponds that are 700 to 2,224 gallons, use our Barley Ball

    Comments about Barley Pad with Flotation Frame:

    I used this product in my small garden pond and bird bath. Worked very well at keeping the water from growing green, and keeping the water clean.
    Just need to remember to put new one in once a
    month.

      pleased to say that use did not deter the frequent visits by birds. Seems to be doing a good job of keeping water clear.

        My fountain was full of algae, this product did not clear all of the algae, but it started the process of clearing a significant amount of algae.

            I bought this to hold barley pads and to aid in flotation of them. It's not a perfect solution as the pads still sink (just not as soon) and they are easier to fish out of the pool.

                I have this in a small recirculating fountain. After a month the water is noticeably clearer.

                  This product was easy to install AND plant friendly. Clear water within 5 days. Amazing!
                  Still clear water after 3weeks. No cloudy green
                  water as in the pass with previous product.
                  No removal of plants or waiting for
                  product to dissolve as before.

                      Comments about Barley Pad with Flotation Frame:

                      My pond is not deep enough for pad to float. It now lays on the bottom of the pond but seems to have killed the active algae. I use a pool skimmer to scoup out the dead algae. The water is very clear and my dog drinks out of pond so am glad to have a safe product.

                      I haven't seen any improvement in the algae in my my ponmd/fountain (<500gal), in fact its gotten worse. Maybe I'll try it again next year, but earlier in the season, since that is how many comments mentioned using the product.
