LakeTint
Pond and lake dyes
Pond and lake dyes reduce light penetration to help suppress algae and weed growth in managed bodies of water.
Reduce the light that supports algae growth
Sunlight entering the water creates conditions that can support algae. LakeTint reduces light penetration to help suppress algae and weed growth. Its non-toxic formulation is safe for fish and other wildlife when used as directed, making it suitable for managed ponds, lakes and fisheries. Black is designed for a mirror-reflective finish, while Blue is developed primarily for commercial algae and weed control.
