Generally, yes, but it's always best to check the compatibility of multiple treatments. Avoid using other algaecides simultaneously unless specified.

Store the Tetra Pond Peat Barley Straw Extract in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Ensure the correct dosage was used. Reapply if necessary and allow up to a week for full effect. Check for external nutrient sources contributing to algae growth.

Verify the pond conditions. Extreme pH levels or very high organic load might impact performance. Ensure the product has not expired.
