How to Use on Waterfalls
For waterfalls and fountains:
-
Turn the water pump off.

Simply Fish Recommends
This product is particularly useful for those awkward waterfall rocks and pond edges that gradually become covered in organic grime.
For heavy buildup, physically remove large debris first and then use Pond & Waterfall Cleaner on the material that's harder to shift.
When applying around plants, avoid leaving the powder sitting directly on plant leaves. If it accidentally lands on foliage, rinse it off with water.
