Product Overview
Fountec uses a proprietary organic polymer formulation to inhibit and eliminate algae growth in decorative water features such as fountains, statuary basins, and non-fish water displays. Unlike traditional chlorine or copper-based treatments, it works through a unique control mechanism that disrupts algae development while maintaining water clarity.
This product is specifically designed for aesthetic water systems where clarity and cleanliness are the primary goals. It is unaffected by heat, sunlight, and evaporation, allowing it to remain effective longer than many conventional algaecides. Its concentrated formula means only a small weekly dose is required to maintain results.
Important: This formulation is not safe for fish or aquatic life and should only be used in fish-free decorative water systems.
