Pond Dyes

Choose blue or black pond dye in liquid concentrate or water-soluble packets. Compare the desired appearance, pond size, application method and coverage directions before selecting a format.

Compare color and format

• Blue dye creates a familiar decorative blue appearance.
• Black dye produces a darker reflective appearance.
• Liquid concentrate allows measured application according to pond volume.
• Water-soluble packets provide a convenient pre-portioned application format.

Pond dye changes water appearance but should not replace diagnosis or treatment of water-quality problems. Address clarity, muck and chemistry concerns with the appropriate pond-care category.

Before applying

Estimate pond volume and average depth with the Pond Calculator. Follow the individual product coverage and application directions and add color gradually when directed.

Common questions

Should I choose liquid or packets?

Choose based on pond size, preferred handling method and the coverage stated for each format.

Does pond dye clear cloudy water?

No. Dye is a colorant. Diagnose cloudy, green or muddy water separately before choosing a water-treatment product.
