When should I apply the dye?

How often do I need to reapply?
Reapplication depends on factors like sunlight exposure and pond size. Monitor the water clarity and reapply as needed, typically every few weeks or months.

How long does it take to see results?

What if I add too much dye?
While unlikely to harm aquatic life, adding too much dye can result in an overly dark blue colour. Follow the dosage instructions carefully.
Troubleshooting
Water isn't turning blue or the colour is too faint.
Ensure you've used the correct dosage based on your pond's volume. Consider adding a bit more dye, if the colour is too faint. Ensure thorough mixing.
Algae is still growing.
