Alken CLEAR-FLO 1015 super-concentrated supplement is used to augment the general management of a lake/pond with ALKEN CLEAR-FLO® 1005 or 1006 with CF 1100 when prescribed by your Alken-Murray representative. For each half-million gallons or 1.5 acre/ft., mix 4 oz. of CLEAR-FLO 1015 with 1 gallon of ALKEN CLEAR-FLO® 1100 and 1 gallon of lake/pond water (or substitute 2 gallons of chlorine-free water). Metric dosage for small ponds, use 4 grams for each 67,000 liters. Mix thoroughly. Allow to settle for one half hour and mix AGAIN before application. Continuous stirring is also acceptable during hydration. For best results, aerate and incubate for 2 hours, then load into a large capacity Super Soaker (children's toy), or other large capacity, high pressure sprayer and spray lightly, directly onto the filamentous mass. This dosage is calculated for both effectiveness and safety.. DO NOT EXCEED PRESCRIBED DOSE.
