AquaDesign Barley Clear 1.5kg – Natural Barley Straw Pellets for Ponds | Algae Control & Clear Water Treatment

1.5kg of AquaDesign barley clear is the equivalent to around 5X standard pond barley bales!

Product includes: 1.5kg pellets, media bag & instruction guide.

Keep your pond water naturally clear with AquaDesign Barley Clear – a convenient, effective and easy-to-use alternative to traditional barley straw bales.

AquaDesign Barley Clear is a natural pond water treatment made from barley straw pellets, specially designed to help control algae growth and maintain clean, clear and healthy pond water.

Unlike bulky, messy barley straw bales, Barley Clear pellets offer a compact, convenient and easy-to-measure solution for pond maintenance. Simply place the required quantity of pellets into the supplied fine mesh bag and position it in your pond, ideally near a waterfall, filter outlet or fountain where water circulation is strongest.

As the barley straw pellets gradually break down in oxygen-rich water and sunlight, they release naturally occurring compounds that help inhibit algae growth and maintain water clarity.

Suitable for koi ponds, goldfish ponds, wildlife ponds, ornamental ponds and water gardens, AquaDesign Barley Clear provides a natural alternative to conventional chemical algae treatments.

How Does AquaDesign Barley Clear Work?

Barley straw has long been used as a natural method of helping to control algae in garden ponds.

AquaDesign Barley Clear uses the same principle in a convenient pellet form. When placed in pond water, the pellets slowly decompose in the presence of oxygen and sunlight, releasing natural compounds that help inhibit algae development.

Unlike chemical treatments designed to produce rapid results, Barley Clear works gradually, helping to maintain a clearer pond over time.

Results typically become noticeable within 1–2 weeks, depending on water temperature, sunlight, oxygen levels and pond conditions.

For best results, use when pond water temperatures are above 10°C, ideally from early spring through autumn.

Dosage Guide

AquaDesign Barley Clear is easy to dose according to your pond’s water volume.

Recommended initial dosage: 100g per 900 litres of pond water.

One 1.5kg pack treats up to 13,500 litres (approximately 3,565 UK gallons) of pond water at the recommended initial dosage.

For ongoing maintenance, top up with approximately half the initial dose every 4–6 weeks during the active pond season.

How to Use

1. Measure Your Dose: Calculate your pond’s volume and measure the required amount of Barley Clear pellets.
2. Fill the Mesh Bag: Place the pellets inside the supplied fine mesh bag and secure it.
3. Position in Flowing Water: Place the bag near a waterfall, filter outlet or fountain to encourage good water circulation and oxygen exposure.
4. Keep Near the Surface: Position the bag within the top 12–18 inches of pond water, where sunlight and oxygen levels are generally highest.
5. Maintain Regularly: Add a maintenance dose every 4–6 weeks to help maintain water clarity.

Why Choose Barley Clear Pellets Instead of Traditional Barley Straw Bales?

Traditional barley straw bales can be bulky, difficult to position and unsightly in smaller garden ponds.

AquaDesign Barley Clear offers the same natural barley straw approach in a more practical pellet format.

The pellets are easy to store, measure and apply, while the supplied mesh bag helps keep your pond tidy and makes removal simple.

Whether you have a small ornamental pond or a large koi pond, Barley Clear provides a convenient way to incorporate natural barley straw treatment into your regular pond maintenance routine.
