PAK® 27 is approved for use as an algaestat or algaecide for the selective and broad-spectrum control of algae and cyanobacteria in lakes, ponds, drinking water reservoirs, aquaculture and wastewater. PAK 27 works through an oxidation process, releasing hydrogen peroxide into the water supply. PAK 27 has no fishing, no drinking, no swimming, and no irrigation restrictions. PAK 27 is safe to use in water bodies with Koi and trout.
PAK 27's active ingredient, sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate, creates a powerful oxidation reaction that destroys algal cell membranes and chlorophyll, providing immediate control of algae.
Privately owned water supplies are threatened by excessive nutrients entering through lawn and garden run-off, wastewater discharges, detergent wastes, septic tank seepage and agricultural run-off. Excessive nutrients support dynamic growth of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) and other aquatic algae, interfering with intended water uses and sometimes presenting health hazards to humans and animals. PAK 27 is the choice to keep your lakes, fishing and stock ponds, aquaculture sites and other private water bodies, pleasing to the eye and safe for your enjoyment. PAK 27 creates a powerful oxidation reaction that destroys algal cell membranes and chlorophyll, providing immediate control of algae. For best results apply early when algae growth first appears.
Weeds Controlled with this Product
Also known as “pond scum” or “moss,” this type of algae can form dense, hair-like mats on the water’s surface. If left untreated, the mats can cover the entire surface of the pond. There are many species of filamentous algae and often more than one species will be present at the same time in the pond.
Also known as: Scum; water net; frog spittle; moss
Also known as “blue-green” algae, this type of algae is actually millions of microscopic plants that give the pond a “pea-soup” appearance. If left untreated, natural die-off in the fall may cause a fish kill.
Pithophora belongs to the family of filamentous green algae. It may be found growing on the bottom or in dense mats on the surface of ponds. This algae is often described as resembling a tangled mass of cotton or wool-like growth which is very course to the touch. It may range in color from lime green to a dark greenish brown. The surface mats generally form in warmer weather when gas bubbles, produced by the plant, are trapped within the dense algal growth, causing them to become buoyant. Disturbance of these mats by high wind or heavy rain events may cause them to temporarily sink to the bottom. This often gives a false impression that the growth has "disappeared", only to have it return to the surface within several days.
