MuckAway

This product muckaway works great!Thank you Airmax

It is working slowly and steadily. The silty muck is thinning out in the area we have been applying the Muck Away. Has not affected the plants or fish. This is not a quick result product - but we see a sand bottom in spots after using this product for three months

I purchased this product as a desperate hope it could help my pasture pond, which was absolutely choked with algae from a dead tree we couldn't get removed for weeks due to the ground being too saturated. The first dose, thrown into the mucky pond, did absolutely nothing, which was very disappointing to me. However, then we got another rain burst that flooded the pond and washed about 80% of the algae downstream. So with the intent to do the "aggressive" treatment (i.e. throwing in treatment every two weeks), I added in the next recommended dose to the remaining 20% of algae still floating around the pond. Three days later, the change is dramatic. About 5% of it is gone completely, and the rest is starting to die. So I eagerly anticipate what another month of treatment will do to the health of my pond. In all, anybody looking to use this product needs to keep these two important things in mind: it will NOT help a pond that is choked or otherwise drowning with algae. For that, your only recourse is probably physical removal of said growth, or being lucky like me and getting a well-timed flood. Secondly, temperature is probably another factor that is dramatically improving the performance of the second dose. The first dose was thrown in while temps were still relatively cool (low 70's), but within a few weeks our temps around here have spiked to high 80's and humid. This stuff definitely starts cranking when the temps start to rise. I'll update again in a month (two more doses), but if the last three days is any indication, I anticipate a pond completely clear of algae growth by then. And that will make me a VERY happy customer, and perfectly willing to continue purchasing this product despite its higher price. *Several months and a summer's worth of treatment later*: Our pond experienced a massive drought, which really dropped the water level and stagnated things. However, through it all, the water (that was left) never fouled with algae growth. I have maintained treatment every two weeks, and I think had I not the pit would have become a stinking sump. WILL definitely be purchasing again next year.

This is a great product if you have a pond with ducks or geese who refuse to go back into the water because they don't want to swim in their poo any more. Lol!! Follow the instructions on the package. It takes weeks for to work. We can already see a big difference in the pond. It is clearing up nicely. It just takes time. So in the mean time, go get a wading pool and fill it with clean water for your ducks and geese. It won't hurt them to wait it out. It beats draining out the pool, getting a shovel; scooping the carp out of the pond and then refilling it. It's a bit expensive but well worth it. If ya got fish in there like us; they will be ok, and they will be thankful they can see a lot better. 🙂 Get it! Update: On the coldest day of the year, (and yes snow in south TX) our silly ducks decided it was safe to swim and play in the pond again as you can see in the picture. Of course, the weather knocked out our banana trees but they will be back in the spring. So yes this stuff works. It's just a bit expensive. Just get it. It really works.

After 1 month seen no improvment

The good! This stuff does eat the muck. As the muck has a lot to do with the algae, that is good, as the algae was taking over. Must definitely use along with dye to block the sunlight as the algae needs the sunlight to thrive. The Bad! The price is hefty. We have a ten acre lake and $350 per application hurts. Especially when recommended to install every couple of weeks for the first few months and monthly thereafter. But, it does work with dye, but slowly. In cold climates, below 50 degrees water temp, it will hibernate during the winter so you will not see results during the cold spells. Keep in mind, if you shock the lake to kill the algae, you also kill the good bacteria that eat the muck. Do not let a pond management firm recommend shocking your lake unless the algae has completely taken over. These companies just make more money putting the good algae back later, at your expense. We only tested Airmax Muckaway and are very satisfied.

I live on a private lake, bought the house with the intentions. After walking through the water and sinking about 2 feet I panicked. Called a company to have muck removed and was quoted 7-9k just for my water frontage (60ft) panicked again. I started looking at options on doing it myself and this product was suggest to me. These pictures are before and 4 days later in the same spot. Can’t believe it. I’ll be using this every year.

It has been 4 weeks now since a treated my pond ....I have not seen any improvement at all. it only cleared right where the table landed. I've treated twice .......still waiting Wasted my money, :( will try a different product.

I tried this in my Castle moat over a 3 month period and have not detected any noticeable effect so far.

We purchased Muck Away Pellets- 8 lb, after reading the online reviews. We had just had our pond dug out, and we were looking for a product to help clean up the left over muck at the bottom of the pond. After reading the reviews, we thought that this product would help us get a cleaner and clearer pond. After 4 weeks we are seeing a lot of hungry bacteria activity, and now are starting to see the bottom of the pond. I am excited to see what the results will be after 8 weeks, if our first 4 weeks are anything to go by it should be amazing. So far we are truly impressed with this product.

I bought this figuring we would give it and try and wow are we glad we did. It has made a huge difference on our shoreline. I will be ordering more for sure.

Seems to work in beach area. Easy to distribute from shore. Seems pricey.

Been using this for a while and have seen no results as far as removal of muck or water clarity. I am very disappointed in this product and will not purchase again.
