Hi Angel. Thats a good question. Although its designed for small to large ponds I dont see why it wouldnt work. The powder is mixed in in a container with 2Ltrs of water at 40 degrees and and left overnight. The amount of powder used depends on how big the pond is in litre/gallons. So it would take some calculating to work out how much your feature would need...or you could just make a dose for a small pond and use as much as you like, so long as there are no fish or wildlife using it just in case its a bit concentrated for them.
Personally I would go to the pet shop and ask about aquarium algae cleaner and tell them what its for and see if they suggest anything.
A scrub with a brush is the easiest way to clean water features. Bird baths are also prone to a build up of algae because they're shallow, as well as debris from the birds themselves, and it only takes a few minutes to fix
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Angel - a little drop of washing up liquid when you scrub as well if you want - then rinse really well, especially if it's a type that wildlife can use. No cost!

When is the ideal time to remove barley straw bales from my pond? It has been in there since, June (now October) and it is a bit manky! I always let them float, is that right or should they be sunk? My first post! thank you

Thank you for your advice Stephen 7. I have tried so many different ways to get rid of the green slime in my water feature.

Hi Fairygirl, it looks as though I will have to do just that. Thanks for your advice.
