DB-110 Liquid Pond Sealer

ABOUT OUR POND SEALERS

If your pond will not consistently hold water, then it’s really not useful. You can’t trust it to hold whatever else you might put in it; like fish, algae inhibitors or beautification treatments.

PondEnviro’s DB-110 (liquid) and DB-200 (granulated) pond sealers, when introduced to water are proven effective. Both contain the same mix of active ingredients, but are applied differently and respond in water different from each other. Both, when introduced to water, expand to approximately 500 times their original size at the molecule level. Also, both enter into the soil under the water, forming a thick barrier that inhibits the passage of water. The products do NOT form a plastic-like coating, rater they become part of the pond soil.

DB-110 LIQUID POND SEALER

When applying DB-110 Pond Sealer and Water Clarifier to a pond (or lake) it is extremely important to remember that it must be diluted down to 1000 parts of water to 1 part of DB-110 product. That means a 5 gallon jug of DB-110 needs 5000 gallons of water to mix/apply.

There are two reasons for DB-110 must be mixed with water extremely well: a) it renders a more even and effective dispersion of product in the pond (it just works better), and b) this dilution rate virtually eliminates any risk of the product being thick enough in the water to coat the gills of fish living in the pond. DB-110 by itself will not harm animals, fish or plants, however… because it is so strong it can, if not mixed correctly with water, coat the gills of fish and suffocate them before it completely disperses in the water and off the fish gills.

First, let us address a couple of the INCORRECT methods of applying DB-110 that we’ve heard about. At Pond Enviro we hope you will not be tempted to mix DB-110 in a bucket or barrel and then pour it into a pond. Number one, it will take forever. For example: If you are using a 55-gallon drum full of water, you would only need 7 ounces of DB-110 in each filling/mixing. That means it would take ninety-one 55-gallon drums of water to mix in just 5 gallons of DB-110.

Incredibly… we’ve even heard of a pond owner pouring un-diluted DB-110 directly into a pond. We cannot dis-advise this strongly enough! Your risk of killing fish is high and you will not see even dispersion into the bed or bottom of the pond. Your results will be very disappointing.

THE CORRECT WAY – To correctly apply DB-110 to a pond requires the use of a powerful water pump, commonly called a “trash pump” or “irrigation pump”. It’s really a MUST! This type of pump has an impeller chamber that drives the water through the pump. This impeller is extremely effective as a mixer for combining the DB-110 efficiently with the water. (See APPLYING DB-110 LIQUID SEALER for a detailed picture showing how to set up your own pump.)

It is possible that it will take more than one application of our liquid Pond Sealer/Water Clarifier to be most effective. We applied it to our pond three times to get the best result. This product works on small leaks, not large holes and will not work for rubber liners.

Always use pond water, or other natural water source. Never dilute DB-110 with chlorinated water, as chlorine changes the product’s effectiveness.

Our Pond Sealers are not toxic and do not harm pets, fish or plants.

Feeding fish in a pond treated by DB-110: We find that raising fish in ponds treated with our sealers works just fine. With the use of fish food high in protein, fish grow rapidly in these ponds. Our customers report that our liquid Pond Sealer/Water Clarifier has increased the clarity of their ponds’ water while remedying leakage problems. We, along with our customers, have been personally very pleased with the results obtained in our ponds.
