    "I've used these economical little pads in a small man-made pond for several years. They are easy to use and keep the pond clean. At the end of their "lifespan", they begin to fall apart. That's when I decide it must be time to change them. I love the fact that they are an all-natural product! "

    "I place this in my small pond every year to keep algae under control. It works great - even if I'm late in putting it in. It clears the pond up wonderfully. Too bad it floats on tops, even if I try to weigh it down with marbles. "
