You can use coatings made for concrete swimming pools. I do know that even though it looks and feels dry concrete takes a long time to cure. I am not sure what effect it would have on PH but the new concrete will leach lime into the water for some time unless sealed. If you decide to try it without...

I have read that I can use bleach in an outdoor fountain (no plants or fish) to remove algae. Does anyone know the amount of bleach? Also, I have a dog and want it to be safe for him as well as wildlife. Finally, would I just add the bleach and wait for the tons of algae to go away or do I need...

Big filter, John! The duckweed grows like...a weed. It may do the job for you in a hurry, if the koi don't get to it first. Jim -- ____________________________________________ Check out Jog-A-Thon fundraiser (clears $140+ per jogger) at:
