How long should I wait before expecting results from Ponder treatment?
• This depends on many variables such as the reason for treating (eg. water clarity, odors, organic accumulation, color, or nutrient control), the flow rate or consumption rate, the source water quality (eg. irrigation canals, run-off, spring fed, etc.), the management of the local vicinity (eg. pasture land, crop land, forest, etc.), past treatment (eg. bluestone, Reglone A, Reward, bleach, chlorine, aquatic dyes, etc.), the age of the body of water, and the intended use of the water (eg. fish, domestic use, irrigation, spray water, or animal production). Of course, correct application and maintenance is also crucial. Taking into account these numerous variables, experience has shown that users observe improvements in their water anywhere from 2-6 weeks after treatment. Control of odors typically takes less time than control of other water quality issues.
