Will this unit dispense algae wafers?

With this device you can use any type of food, either dry or flaked grains also remains dry preventing food from sticking and does not leave. Regards

There are two "screw" devices that dispense the food. Worse case you may have to break the wafers. I have had two of these for several years and it works good.

I don't know how large an algae wafer is, but a dime very easily dispensed from it. I'll try to post some pics.

no this wont dispense algae wafers. The wafers get stuck in the screws and clogs. It is only meant for pellet or smaller type of food

sure/ aeration will promote growth of the algae as sunlight does!more fish to eat it, if you over feed your fish the feed act as fertilizer to algae. put a screen over/ around rule to help strainer [leaves grass etc.] use recomened fuse in line of power supply

Nope, if you place any sort of nutrients, fertilizers or the like they will clog the machine. Only purified water can be used in this.

I haven't tried it with anything soft. I would not expect it to work with algae. Too soft and flexible.

No. You need a total dissolved solids (TDS) meter for that. You can pick one up in the internet for ~$10.

Yes you can, as long as the pondmaster is kept safe other wise there is a risk of broken light. Also the water needs to flow in from one end and out from other end, so that the light can control the algae.

It does filter algae. I still brush sides. I use mine 3 or 4 tkmes a week. Bacteria should be taken care of by your sanitizer(I use chlorine).

It will rid you of the green (algae) water but it wont rid you of algae attached to the rocks and glass. Anything that gets sucked through it will die

I have an all in one filter/UV/fountain, the light is in the unit, in the water. I haven't had green water or string algae since I started using a UV light system in my pond. I highly recommend it.

My water was cloudy for months. I tried everything you could buy at the pet store. The Green Killing Machine completely cleared my water within days and it has been clear for over 6 months. I will keep it in the event I get this type of algae growth again. I would agree that it doesn't seem to have a strong flow, but it is the UV light that is killing the algae so you really do not want the water to rush through the device.

Yes, It attaches to your sink to make clean water for the aquarium which will help keep algae down.

I used a generic floating dispenser, for chlorine tables. My water is clear as day.

Hey alexis Yes I believe you will be fine If you are concerned try drawing a gallon or two and place it in a glass container in the frig or just put in sunlight on your counter it will provide additional purification. I hope that helps! and congradulation for making a healthy decission for your family! Flouride and chlorine are a huge problem in our water supply! Richard

I don't think the unit would handle liquids well. Probably make a big mess.

I do. Shock kills bacteria and other contaminants but is only minimally effective on algae. I learned an expensive lesson trying to use shock to kill the algae.

I don't see why not; just change the water measurements and use 1/2 of your yeast.

You can use household bleach to kill the algae first, then clean with PowerSoak. I would use about a quarter cup of bleach to about a gallon of water and let the filter soak for a bit, agitating a couple of times. Use a soft-to-firm brush (depending on your filter media) to help dislodge the crud after you've soaked them and before and during the rinse.
