Aquashade Pond Dye for Lakes and Ponds | Fish Safe | 1 Gallon
Aquashade® is an EPA-registered aquatic plant growth control dye designed to help suppress submerged weeds and algae by reducing sunlight penetration. When applied early and maintained through the growing season, it filters UV light to inhibit photosynthesis—keeping ponds and water features cleaner while adding a crisp, sparkling aqua-blue tint.
This concentrated liquid pond dye disperses naturally within hours and is ideal for ponds with minimal inflow/outflow. For best results, treat in spring or early summer before growth begins and maintain color with periodic reapplications as needed.
💎 Key Features & Benefits +
Aquashade® is registered to help control aquatic plant and algae growth by reducing available sunlight.
Shades the water column to suppress submerged growth when applied early and maintained through the season.
Creates a crisp, clear aqua-blue tint that enhances pond appearance in decorative and natural settings.

📋 Application Guide (Best For) +
- ✅ Best For: Preventative submerged weed and algae suppression in ponds, lakes, and decorative water features when applied early and maintained.
- ❌ Not For: Heavy, established growth near the surface (less effective when vegetation is within ~2 feet of the surface).
- 💡 Note: Apply where inflow/outflow is minimal and reapply every 1–4 weeks as needed to maintain shading; permit requirements may apply in some states—consult the product label for exact restrictions and dosing.
How to Apply: Pour directly into the water and treat the entire pond volume. Dyes typically disperse within several hours through natural water movement.

A. Apply in spring or early summer before weeds and algae begin actively growing, then maintain color through the growing season.
