Pond Dye Limits Sun ExposureWhile dye is great for aesthetics, pond dye also limits sun exposure, protects fish, and promotes a balanced ecosystem in your pond or lake. Excessive sunlight promotes overgrowth of submerged aquatic plants and algae. Pond dye actively blocks specific portions of the sunlight spectrum, slowing weed growth. |
Pond Dye Protects FishPredators that fly above or lurk alongside the pond will not be able to see fish as easily, giving the fish time to flee to safety. In addition, as temperatures rise, dissolved oxygen levels in the pond are reduced. Using pond dye will keep the water cooler and allow fish to breathe easier during the summer. |

FAQs
Can I overdose pond dye?
Adding additional dye to your pond or lake will deepen the color, but it will not harm aquatic life or vegetation. Follow the dosage rates listed on the product label. Remember that you can always add more dye, but once it's in the water, only time, evaporation, and rainfall can dilute the color.
Can I just do one application of pond dye?
Pond dyes on average will last between 4-8 weeks, depending on rainfall and intense sunlight. Apply Pond Dye every 4-8 weeks or as needed to maintain the desired color.
Is pond dye safe to use in a pond used for swimming?
Yes. Water treated with Pond Dye may be used for recreation, fishing, and other activities immediately after treatment. Safe for recreational ponds, horses, livestock, birds, pets, fish, wildlife, and the environment. Pond Dye may be applied to lakes and ponds used for irrigation and aquaculture.
Will pond dye stain?
If you're concerned about the dye coloring your skin (or your pets) when you swim, don't worry: After 24 hours of being applied to the pond, the dye will not stain. The concentrated form, however, is a different story. It will turn your hands colors, so be sure to wear gloves and work clothes when adding dye to your pond. Once mixed with the water in your pond, pond dye is completely safe for agriculture and irrigation purposes. After treatment, you can use your pond for recreation, fishing, and other activities. It's safe for swimming ponds, as well as watering horses, livestock, birds, pets, fish, and wildlife.
Can I use this dye in my small fishpond or water garden?
Pond Dye Packets are formulated for large, acreage-sized ponds and lakes. We do not recommend use in small water features, water gardens, or pools.
