My fountain is dark brown and several products I have used in my fountain in the past to decrease formation of mold and mildew has turned the brown color to white in my fountain. Will this product do the same thing?
Fountec is a concentrated algaecide that will aid in preventing algae growth in your fountain. We have a product called Protec that aids with scale and mineral buildup. It does not remove existing mineral build-up, they will have to be removed with either a scotch brite pad or soft-bristled brush. If you use any cleansers like CLR etc, make sure to use a highly diluted solution to prevent damaged to your features finish.

how much do I need for my fountain, it is fairly large and the algae is bad.
One 8-oz bottle typically lasts up to one year for maintenance. Where you have a large build up, You would want to repeat “visable algae dosage” every other day for one week. I recommend 2 bottles.
