Many times customers with water gardens do not use the dye as they rely more on plants to provide shade for the pond, keepingthe water clear so the fish are more visable. If you would like to add some dye though we actually have dye geared for a watergarden that are less concentrated. Check out our Pond Logic Black Pearl and Blue Sapphire dye.

The dye will not be harmful, but in its concentrated form it does have the potential to dye your skin, suits or dog’s fur. I would reccomend to wait at least 24 hrs after application to swim in the pond. At that point the dye will be distrubuted thoughout the pond and should not stain you.

Many water garden customers don’t use pond dye in a smaller pond because they want to see the fish but we do have dye specially formulated for water gardens. You can add as much or as little of the dye as you like, giving you control on how dark your pond is. This way you can add some color and still see your fish.

Most pond dyes should last 4-8 weeks depending on rainfall or overflow. So adding 25%-50% of a regular dose monthly is a great way to maintain the dye throughout the year.
