Is pond dye just about making the water look pretty, or does it actually do something?

2. Temperature Control

Darker water absorbs less heat in the lower depths. By keeping the bottom of your pond cooler, you: maintain higher oxygen levels (cold water holds more oxygen than warm water) and reduce the "stress" on your beneficial bacteria, like Nature’s Blend, allowing them to work more efficiently.

Is pond dye just about making the water look pretty, or does it actually do something?

1. The "Sunscreen" Effect

Just like garden weeds, most aquatic weeds and algae need sunlight to grow (photosynthesis). As the sun gets stronger in the spring, it penetrates deep into the water column.

Pond dye filters out specific light spectrums (specifically the UV rays). By shading the bottom of the pond, you "starve" the growth before it ever reaches the surface.
