Airmax Algae Defense is a fast-acting aquatic algaecide formulated to combat both floating and bottom-growing algae, including stubborn chara. It can be applied directly to affected areas and delivers rapid, targeted results without any water use restrictions. Safe for use in freshwater lakes, drinking water reservoirs, and game fish ponds, Algae Defense allows for immediate recreational use, irrigation, and even drinking water access after treatment.
For enhanced effectiveness, use Treatment Booster Plus alongside Algae Defense. This powerful surfactant improves the product's ability to wet, spread, stick, and penetrate algae and surface growth for maximum control.
State Restrictions
Airmax Algae Defense cannot be shipped to Alaska, Arizona, California, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, or Canada.
When to Apply
Target active, growing algae with Algae Defense. The plant will absorb the active ingredients in Algae Defense, killing it entirely.
How to Apply
Mix the desired amount of Algae Defense and pond water per label directions. Using a pressurized sprayer, spray the Algae Defense mixture directly onto the target algae.
Add Treatment Booster Plus to Algae Defense for best results. Over time, treated algae will begin to brown and die.
Once it is entirely dead, rake the dead algae away to prevent plant decay and pond muck accumulation.
Water Use Restrictions
We do not recommend using Algae Defense in ponds with koi, goldfish, grass carp, or trout unless carbonate hardness is above 50 ppm.
State Restrictions
