Sapphire Blue uses a proprietary formula to enhance your pond or lake with a beautiful, natural dark blue color. Pond dyes will improve your water quality and clarity, while maintaining its color. We have several different colors and options to choose from depending on your personal preference. Pond dyes are also the safest product to use in any preventive pond program.
We encourage pond owners trying a pond dye to take a picture before you apply the dye and then another picture the same time of the day 24-48 hours after applying the dye. It is amazing how subtly a dye can transform your body of water.
Important Tip: All ponds will take a dye differently and the same dye can appear slightly different in the same pond from one application to the next. Preexisting conditions in a pond can also alter the way a dye appears. If you apply a pond dye and the tint is drastically different than what is discussed above, there is a preexisting condition that is altering the color of the dye. For example, customers will add our pond dye to a rather green pond and the pond turns a vibrant green color. The preexisting condition in this pond is a planktonic algae growth. When the blue pond dye was added, it intensified the color of the green planktonic algae. Once the algae is controlled or dies off on its own the beautiful turquoise color will magically appear.
