EasyCare FounTec Algaecide and Clarifier, 8 oz. Bottle

My bird bath fountain was gathering green mould/slime every few days, necessitating frequent scrubbing out. Found this reviewed on Amazon - why, I wonder, is it not available from a UK source? Arrived from Amercia in 8 days. Extremely economical (despite the high delivery cost) needing only one drop each week. No green mould or slime since I started using it. I am delighted.

After trying to keep my waterfall clean with 2 other chemicals, I found Fountec. My waterfall holds 3 gallons of water and I just add 2 drops every Sunday when I water my plants - I'm a creature of habit ;-) The waterfall runs 12-14 hours per day and I'm using the same bottle I purchased in 2016. Is it pricey - maybe a little, but what else can you buy that is still working after 10 years? And I still have about 1/3 of the bottle left. I have to add that I started using distilled water when we moved because our water is so hard at our home now. I just purchased an additional fountain for our deck so I ordered a fresh bottle of Fountec because I certainly don't want to run out or have to go shopping around, again, for other chemicals. I drain and clean my waterfall once a year and there is no algae or slimy stuff like we had before Fountec. My husband loves that part. Make sure you follow the chart. I found if you add too much, the area around the waterfall gets a little tacky. This totally eliminates the dirty job of cleaning slime and algae.

Bought this after reading positive reviews, andirons does just what it promises. It worked in just over an hour without cleaning the 7ft fountain. It is economical as you only need a drop a week maintenance.my only thing was the expensive postage as it isn't available in the uk and has to come from America but it arrived really quickly. Would recommend it to anyone.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Great stuff, works and safe for bird baths. We also use it for a 3 tier fountain and algae is gone. Don't hesitate!

I have been using this in two self contained fountains which in the past have suffered from algae. One of the fountains is in the garden and in good weather, gets the sun on it all morning. The bowl is quite large and so I have been using about five drops of fountec each week and it has worked very well. The other fountain is in a conservatory and uses a significantly smaller amount of water and is shielded a bit by roof shades. Since using Fountec it fares better than previously. However, after a few weeks there was evidence of some algae beginning to get a hold. But the Fountec does seem to have slowed it down a bit
