Sometimes the surface tension of your pond water will prevent your aquatic chemicals to penetrate the surface and really get mixed in. This will limit the effectiveness of these products, and potentially cause you to need to use a lot more than necessary while still getting a lower effect than you should. In this situation, you need a product that will help you to get past that surface tension in order to get optimal distribution. You need a
surfactant.
The surfactant will go to work on breaking up the hydrogen bonds that are causing the tension. This will allow for your chemicals to easily mix with the water, reaching the bottom of the pond to work on every weed, muck, or algae build-up you’re trying to fight against. This makes sure that you’re getting the biggest bang for your pond maintenance buck.
