Will Cutrine Plus Algaecide kill an entire sheet of algae that covers almost 2 acre pond?

It is like a big blanket about 3ft underwater but about 4ft off the pond bed . I used your product in about the middle of last summer to try and kill this stuff around the bank so it would not cover the whole pond atleast i thought it wouldnt but after spraying it with your product it grew faster and thicker so by end off summer the whole pond was covered and still is . Except the whole blanket is sinking now as opposed to being on top of water . I hate to say it but its like your product accelerated the groth of it . I have pics if u need them .

Answer:

Whether Cutrine Plus Algaecide will work best for your needs will depend on the specific type of algae as well as the severity of the issue. Anytime you are treating heavy growth, it will be more difficult to achieve sufficient control. You should also expect multiple applicaitons for heavy infestations since you should never treat more than 1/3 - 1/2 of a pond at once. 

For fast results on most algae, GreenClean Pro is a contact algaecide that destorys algae almost immediately. Keep in mind that many factors contribute to algae growth, including water temperature, excessive nutrients in the water (such as fertilizer runoff), and lots of sunlight. We also recommend using a pond cleaner such as Crystal Blue Natural Pond Cleaner to help reduce dead plant matter, excessive nutrients, and other contributing factors. Many folks also use a pond dye to reduce sunlight deeper in the ponds and to improve appearance.
