## Overview

EasyCare FounTec Algaecide and Clarifier is a concentrated, EPA-registered liquid treatment that eradicates algae and clarifies water with a single drop per gallon. Its unique organic polymer formula outperforms traditional algaecides without chlorine, foaming, or staining, and is safe for plants, birds, and pets (not fish).

## Description

From the Manufacturer Fountec's organic polymers keep statuary water cleaner, clearer, and algae-free without chlorine and laborious scrubbing. This EPA registered product utilizes a unique control mechanism to kill and inhibit algae without harming the environment. Unaffected by heat, sunlight and evaporation, Fountec also outlasts and outperforms copper, enzyme and quat based products. A small dose of Fountec lasts up to a week or more and is very economical due to its concentrated formula. Fountec treated water is very safe for birds, plants, pets, and animals, but this formulation is not safe for fish.

Review: Great product that keeps your water fountain clean - I have a 5ft tall indoor water fountain that I've had for years. It still works great and still looks good. The nice soft sound of water is great and soothing but I hadn't ran it in months because I was tired of the process of cleaning it every 3 to 4 weeks. The water would always turn icky within a couple of weeks and normally by the end of the 3rd week it would develop an odor. I didn't mind cleaning the fountain during the spring and summer but it was terrible in the winter dealing with water outside when it's below freezing! I tried cleaning the fountain in my tub but i could t properly flush the internal hoses of all the gunk that built up from the icky water so I found that taking the fountain outside and flushing with a hosepipe worked best. I always debated over putting a few drops of bleach in the water but was always worried about the bleach breaking down the pump over time or worst breaking down the internal rubber hoses that couldn't be replaced so I dealt with cleaning. Back in November we had some unusually warmth days so I did some things around the house and decided to clean up the fountain. After I cleaned it I did a Google search to see what people recommended and I saw a few people mention a algaecide. I searched for one on desertcart but didn't know which one to buy but FounTec caught my eye because it said environmentally friendly. It arrived and I was shocked to see that it said one DROP per gallon. I put in two drops and ran the fountain..every week I put in two drops but I admittedly missed a couple of weeks in December. Well here we are at the 2 month mark and my fountain is still as clear and clean as it was the day I cleaned it. I stuck my hand in the water to see if it was icky or slimy and it wasn't. I am very impressed because at 2 drops a week this bottle will probably last me well over a year. I can't even tell I've been using the bottle for 2 months now, it's still full. I can't recommend this solutions enough. This stuff will allow me to skip cleaning my fountain during the winter. Heck I can probably hold off on cleaning until the summer! I'm sure the water will still be clean and crystal clear but it's good to take everything apart and clean and check it occasionally. Consider me highlights impressed. If you're having doubts about buying this product for your indoor fountain then stop! It's worth it and will cut down on how often you have to clean the fountain!
Review: great product, does what it says and quickly. safe for birds - works very well, a little like a few drops is all you need, we put it in a large fountain that birds drink out of and i wanted something safe for them. it cleared the algae in a few hours.
