Magic
I received this 10 days ago and have treated twice, my little pond is crystal clear. I was almost ready to give up, I could not keep it clear before I tried this and swapped out the filter sponge for a layer of filter floss. So happy.

worked well for what I needed
I used this to clear the water tank on a WaterRower rowing machine. I misread the instructions for the machine (did not add the requisite water purification tablet in a timely fashion). Algae had grown in the tank but after adding 1/4 cup of the APE PondCare the algae disappeared in a few days. I did change the water before treatment. Now I add the recommended water purification tablets and the water is crystal clear once more. This stuff works.

quality
I have been buying this for over ten years, but this bottle was like pouring water. It was not the color it always has been,either they forgot to add the ingredients or they watered it down. Also the same with the simply clear i ordered at the same time.

Okay?
Didn't seem to help much but didn't hurt. This is not an algacide so don't expect immediate or exceptional results. It claims to introduce microbes that assist in cleaning the pond and, I guess, mine is a bit cleaner. At least I'm not worried about the fish, birds, and animals that share the water with it.

Does work well for chlorella
This is not an algae killer but a special bacteria that feed on the type of algae that float in the water making water look green and opaque. I tried it in my 16,500 gallon pond for the last month, and as long as you keep adding it, the pea soup stays away. It has no effect on the algae like string algae or the stuff that sticks to the liner of the pond. Used with koi, goldfish and tadpoles and there is no problem. Don't forget to turn off your UV or it will kill the bacteria and prevent it from working.

Does exactly what it says it does
Quite impressed with it to be honest. Done an amazing job on my water rowing machine. It is now algae free!
