MSDS sheets are in referance to the concentrated chemicals. Once applied there should not be any issues. While there needs to be caution with their use most will not cause issues once applied. To put in in perspective (not a direct comparison however) regular tootpaste and mouth wash can also be toxic if ingested as well as many other household products.

Our pond shares water with a larger, deeper pond that is stocked with fish, and we often have ducks nest here. We must be CERTAIN it can be used without harming fish and wildlife. Do the scary MSDN warnings apply only if it is not used correctly? We need to do something about the cattails, but we have to be sure it’s not harmful. Help!

Unfortunately, you are right we cannot ship chemicals into New York. You can use a <a href="http://www.thepondguy.com/product/692/310"Weed Cutter to cut down the cattails and remove them, but I would highly recommend contacting your city or county and have them point you into the right direction of a licensed applicator to treat your cattails before removing them.

Avocet and Cide-Kick have no water use restrictions, which means it is fine to swim, irrigate or use for any recreational activity immediately after treatment.

Thanks for the question!

You are absolutely right and it needs to be called out more.

What you can place the cabinet next to the power source and run Direct Burial Airline from the cabinet all the way to the shoreline and from there connect the Easy-Set Weighted Airline that comes with the system.

Here is the link to a blog post about installing a system away from the pond. Installing a Pond Aeration System Away from the Pond

In all honestly, and i’m sure your aware of this, but electric aerators are still, at this point, more efficient at aeration and circulation than windmills. So I would highly recommend an electric aeration system over a windmill.

Let me know if I can be of anymore help.

Thanks!

Great question and no it will not harm your fish, unless maybe you through the bottle at them =) .

Avocet and Cide-Kick have no water use restrictions and when used according to the label everything will be fine.

Thanks for the question!

Yes we do, the tallest we have is a 23′ windmill. The tower is 20′ and the windmill head adds 3 more to it once put together.

Here is a link to the windmills.

How big is your pond? Windmills usually are only good for ponds less than an acre in size. Also, if you are looking for aeration, there has to be constant wind or you won’t properly aerate it.

One last question, how far away from power is your pond? Most don’t know this but some electric aerators like Airmax Aeration can be run up to 1000′ from the power source.
