AquaSphere® Irrigation
Water treatment for irrigation lakes and ponds
AQUASPHERE® IRRIGATION is designed to prevent poor water clarity, odor and floating or suspended organic matter by consuming the excess nutrients in the water for improved water quality and clarity in irrigation lakes and ponds where the water is continuously turned over. AQUASPHERE® IRRIGATION contains a proprietary blend of naturally occurring bacteria and enzymes that reduce the organic debris that collect in water. There is no need to remove the sphere after 30 days because the outer shell of AQUASPHERE® IRRIGATION is made of a corn starch-based material and will completely degrade / compost within your pond over time.
Benefits
- Easy-to-apply biodegradable time-release dispenser
- Specially formulated to compensate for the turnover of water in irrigation lakes and ponds
- Added bacteria consume excess nutrients and improves water clarity

Use Rates:
CALCULATE THE NUMBER OF SPHERES NEEDED
Calculate the total gallons in the pond or area to be treated: (Length x Width x Average Depth x 7.5 = Total Gallons)
Do not under treat water! Over treating is safe for all fish and animals and will yield optimal results. If your pond exceeds the number of gallons specified on the label (e.g. 500,000 gallons), use multiple spheres per 30-day period.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Use in self-contained irrigation ponds and retention areas.
1. Keep AQUASPHERE® IRRIGATION dry until pond application.
2. Remove outer plastic bag and gently toss all contents into the ponds. DO NOT OPEN THE SPHERE. The inner bags are water-soluble and will dissolve upon contact with water.
3. Deploy accurate number of sphere(s) every 30 days.
4. Sphere placement: Evenly deploy sphere throughout the pond, if possible 10 feet from shoreline.
5. AQUASPHERE® IRRIGATION works very well with all types of aeration. Whenever possible avoid placing spheres in close proximity to aerators.
6. The sphere will sink to the bottom of the pond after 30 seconds of being deployed and begin to work instantly.
7. Treat when water temperatures are between 45°F - 110°F.
