Revive 5 Pound Pail

How Revive Works

Revive is a formulation of natural microorganisms (bacteria) indigenous to soils and water. When added to ponds in sufficient numbers, the microorganisms in Revive utilize the available nitrogen and phosphorous, making them less available to create unsightly pond problems.

A full season treatment plan with Revive begins before the onset of heavy algae growth and prevents pond odors and improves water clarity for an entire season. For ponds experiencing an algae problem, use Captain* algaecide. Captain does not affect the microorganisms in Revive and your Revive treatment can start when Captain is applied. Revive is also recommended for use in ponds that contain aeration, diffusion, or fountain equipment to assist those devices in maintaining water clarity.

The Result

A thriving aquascape with clean, clear water that is free from sludge and odor causing organics.

Safety

Revive is not an a regulated pesticide, but rather a natural and ecologically harmless method of impacting sludge and odors that commonly plague ponds and small lakes. Revive is safe for release into any aquatic environment.

How to Apply Revive

Revive is easy to apply because it is packaged in water-soluble packets. Simply toss the recommended number of packets into the shallow areas of the pond and the packets will dissolve on its own to spread the bacteria throughout the water. One ten-pound pail of twenty Revive packets will usually last a whole season for a typical acre-sized pond.

Easy-to-Use

A treatment program is initiated with three (3) pounds (6 packets) of Revive per acre foot and is continued as required by local conditions*. Maintain with additions of one (1) pound (2 packets) per acre foot at two week intervals until water temperatures fall in the winter. For best results, water should be at least 60°F and have pH of 6.8 - 8.8.

Application

Calculate the volume of your pond in acre feet using this formula:

• More frequent applications are recommended during periods of stress, such as heavy rainfall, drought, excessive heat or fertilizer run-off.

• The water-soluble packets (do not open) can be dropped into the water by hand. Even application is recommended.

• Attention must be paid to weather and other conditions*. If fertilizing fields or lawns, run-off into ponds will add nitrogen and phosphorous. Revive should be added to address the influx. Revive will not cause harm to fish and a system cannot be over treated.

Revive Application Methods

NOTE: Use dry hands or gloves when applying revive water-soluble packets.

Static water bodies (non-flowing)

Distribute the water-soluble packets evenly over water surface, making certain to also distribute packets around edges in shallow, warm water areas. (Just throw or drop the packets in. Do not open the packets).

Flowing water bodies

Apply the water-soluble packets predominately at point(s) of water entry.

Remember to calculate the dose based upon the entire water surface for water bodies with limited flow. Base the dose on the inflow water volume for other sites such as canals.

Revive Treats Aquatic Nutrient Problems

Treat the CAUSE not the SYMPTOM of sludge and odor in problem ponds. Sludge and odor occurs because of an overload of available nutrients, decaying plant matter, nitrogen and phosphorous. In abundance, these nutrients cloud water and contribute to out-of-balance aquatic systems that can often be unsightly, odorous, and detrimental to fish and wildlife.
