Airmax Pond Logic MuckAway, 48 Scoops

This product works great! We live on a lake, and for the last 10 years I’ve been raking lake weeds and disposing of them. The last two years I’ve been using Muck Away and what a difference! I have a 12 ft. lake rake and rarely pull out any weeds. I don’t follow directions exactly as I tend to over saturate my lakefront and dock area. I did ascertain the need to follow the 2 week rule in order to get the most out of the product. I didn’t give 5 stars due to product was heavy and the box it came in was not heavy duty. The product was not damaged though.

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.

Be patient. My large pond water had very poor visibility to the bottom due to muck being disturbed by my Koi fish. Over 1 foot of Muck average. While it’s still a work in progress, it is starting to clear from the edges to the middle. Every week I see improvements.

Thumbs up

We have a campground that has a 22 acre lake with a swimming area. It was so disgusting, it had at least 4 inches of mucky goo in it. Within 2 uses you could see and feel the sand on the bottom! Obviously we can’t treat the whole lake but at least the swimming area can be nicer. The only downside is the price.
