ALGAECIDAL COMPOSITIONS FOR WATER TREATMENT AND METHOD OF USE THEREOF

摘要

The invention includes compositions and a method of treating water to reduce algae in bodies of water, including decorative fountains, swimming pools, wastewater lagoons, storage reservoirs, and ornamental lakes and ponds, such as water features on golf courses. The composition includes a blend of two solid peroxygen compounds: sodium percarbonate and either sodium perborate tetrahydrate or sodium perborate monohydrate. An anticaking agent, such as calcium silicate may be added. The method includes administering the blend to the water by a variety of means, such as manual broadcasting or placing in a chemical feeding device.
