Description
Pond Pro® QuikClear Pond Flocculant 18 kg Bulk Order
Pond Pro® QuikClear Flocculant is a Canadian-made water-clarification treatment designed for ponds, dugouts, and lagoons where cloudiness is caused by suspended particles.
QuikClear works by helping very fine suspended particles bind together into larger particles that can settle out of the water column more effectively. It can help improve water clarity where murky or turbid water is associated with suspended solids, organic debris, tannins or other fine particulate matter.
This 18 kg size is intended for larger ponds, commercial applications and customers requiring higher treatment volumes. For best results, follow the recommended application rate and all water-quality precautions carefully.
Results may vary depending on water chemistry, organic load, suspended solids, circulation, application rate and environmental conditions.
Buy in bulk and save 15% per pail when purchasing 6 or more 18 kg pails of QuikClear.

Applications
- Ponds
- Dugouts
- Lagoons
- Large water features affected by suspended particulate matter
- Water affected by turbidity from fine suspended solids or organic debris
QuikClear is intended to improve clarity when suspended particles contribute to murky or turbid water. It is not a substitute for correcting ongoing sources of sediment, runoff or excessive organic loading.
Application Instructions
Always follow the product directions and confirm that water conditions are suitable before treatment. Do not exceed the recommended application rate.
Application Rates
| Application | QuikClear Rate | Water Volume |
|---|---|---|
| Large Ponds | 115 kg (250 lbs) | 1,000,000 US gal (~4,000,000 L) |
| Small Ponds | 1/2 cup (~125 g) | 1,000 US gal (3,785 L) |

How to Use
Apply the appropriate amount of QuikClear based on the volume of water being treated. Distribute the product according to the product directions and maintain adequate circulation or aeration during treatment.
Water may initially appear milky after application as the flocculant disperses and begins binding suspended particles. Clarity improves depending on the type and amount of suspended material present.
If the desired clarity is not achieved, you may repeat treatment after 3 days, provided you follow the product directions and water-quality precautions.
Tannin-related discolouration may improve shortly after treatment depending on water conditions, while some suspended particles may require up to 3–4 weeks to fully settle.
Important for fish ponds: Water pH should be between 6.5 and 8.2 before treatment. Mixing QuikClear with water at a pH of 8.2 or higher can be toxic to fish and may reduce the effectiveness of the product. Always test pH and follow the application directions carefully when fish or other aquatic life are present.
Safety Precautions
Wear appropriate protective equipment during application, including gloves, safety glasses and a suitable mask. Avoid direct contact with the product and always follow the safety and handling instructions supplied with the product.
Active Ingredient: Aluminum Sulphate
Frequently Asked Questions
What Type of Water Problems Can QuikClear Help With?
QuikClear may help improve murky or turbid water caused by suspended solids, fine organic debris, tannins and other small suspended particles.
How Much QuikClear Should I Use?
For large ponds, apply 115 kg per 1,000,000 US gallons of water. For smaller ponds, apply approximately 125 g per 1,000 US gallons. You can also use the Pond Care Calculator above to determine the amount required for your pond.
Can QuikClear Be Used in Fish Ponds?
Yes, but water chemistry must be checked before treatment. The pH should be between 6.5 and 8.2. QuikClear can be toxic to fish when mixed with water at a pH of 8.2 or higher.
Why Does the Water Turn Milky After Application?
A temporary milky appearance can occur as the flocculant disperses and begins interacting with suspended particles. The appearance should diminish as particles bind and settle.
How Quickly Will the Water Clear?
Results depend on water chemistry and the material causing the turbidity. Some improvement may be noticeable relatively quickly, while certain suspended particles can take several weeks to fully settle.
Can I Apply QuikClear Again?
If the desired clarity has not been achieved, treatment may be repeated after 3 days as long as the product directions and water-quality precautions are followed.
Can QuikClear Help with Tannins?
QuikClear may improve tannin-related discolouration depending on the water conditions and the cause and severity of the discolouration.
What Is the Active Ingredient?
The active ingredient in QuikClear is aluminum sulphate.
