For quick results on eliminating floating organic matter on the surface of a pond, Rush is the product for you. For best results try to manually remove what floating matter you can reach, and spot treat the remaining problem areas with Rush. When Rush is applied to the floating matter it is then oxidized which causes the organic mat to sink to the sludge layer where the AquaSpherePRO, used in conjunction with Rush, will consume the excess nutrients preventing reoccurring issues. Rush may need to be applied at various times throughout the season depending upon the ponds natural condition. Rush should be applied directly to the surface of the floating organic mat in ponds. Dosage will depend on amount of matter, the larger the mass the heavier the dose will be. Rush is safe for fish, pets, wildlife and plants.

RUSH Directions for Use:Calculate total gallons to be treated:
Length x W idth x Depth x 7.5 = Total Gallons
One pound of RUSH treats 10,000 gallons of water.
1. Calculate pounds of RUSH needed to treat pond
Total Gallons ÷ 2 = Pounds Needed
2. Broadcast the product evenly around the perimeter of the area to be treated and throughout the water surface area (with organic matter.)
3.
DO NOT ADD Bioverse microbial products for up to 12 – 24 hours after treatment.
4. Dosage can be doubled for extremely stagnant water with low oxygen levels and severe odor.
CAUTION: Microbial treatment in ponds with low oxygen levels, high water stagnation (no aeration), with high levels of organic matter AND containing high levels of fish populations run a risk of initiating fish death due to low water oxygen levels. It is recommended that ponds stocked with fish be tested for oxygen levels as well as having a source of aeration in the pond prior to treatment with microbials.
MICROBIAL FACTS: - Treatment with microbials requires oxygen to establish bioremediation.
- Microbial treatments will reduce the water oxygen levels as the bioremediation occurs.
- Bioverse’s microbial products are 100% natural, safe, and effective for fish if all ponds as there is enough oxygen for all the fish contained in that pond.
- Ponds with high fish levels should have mechanical aeration systems in place as treatment is started for improved results.
- Ponds with low oxygen levels should be treated with a water oxygenator prior to microbial application.
POND WATER FACTS: - Low oxygen levels will produce localized fish death in any pond.
- High heat will decrease the oxygen levels in ponds (as water temperatures increase the oxygen levels will decrease).
- Ponds overstocked with fish will have lower oxygen levels than a pond that has no fish.
- Excess amounts of organic debris will lower water oxygen levels.
- Shallow ponds will always have lower water oxygen levels than ponds that are deeper.
