Hydra Liquid Dyes are environmentally friendly and non-toxic, meaning they will not harm birds, reptiles, mammals, or fish. So, if you have fish with your pond, adding dye to your pond will not affect them or their health, if anything, the dye will help to protect them. Dye used within ponds with wildlife within will help deter predators, for example, fish will be protected from the predators such as herons.
Water from ponds and water features that have been dyed with any Hydra Liquid Dye, is safe to use as part of irrigation of crops, meaning, if you wanted to change the water in your water feature for example, you can empty it onto your flowerbeds and they will not be effected.
Liquid dyes all work in the same way as food colouring; It dyes something in your required colour. However, liquid dyes used within ponds and water features offer an additional benefit in that they can help reduce plant and algae growth. Dyes do not however, hinder the growth of all aquatic plants, they are recommended for submerged plants such as pondweeds, watermilfoil, and elodea, as well as plants such as water lilies.
Administering dye to your pond or water feature is as simple as pouring the correct measurement needed of dye into the water. It will quickly disperse within and around the pond and/or water feature, meaning no need to spray of spread the application our yourself.
Water dyes can be applied to ponds and water features of any size, small or large.
Not only can water dyes be added to ponds and water features, they have also been known to be used in small amounts, to glass vases and centrepieces at events and weddings to create drama and aesthetically appealing looks.

Yes. Hydra Liquid dye is food grade dye, and it is completely safe for fish, plants and invertebrates.
Yes, absolutely. Dogs, cats, birds, wildlife - this food grade based dye is safe to be used for drink.
Although, if your dog often drinks pond water - be aware of Blue Green Algae https://www.bluecross.org.uk/pet-advice/blue-green-algae-and-its-dangers-dogs
The water will be a deeper shade, and possibly opaque. Over time, rainfall will dilute the colour to the point where it will all be gone. You can also add more water, or partially change water to dilute dye. If emptying the pond is required, the water should be flushed into soil beds – please avoid letting over dyed water get into surface drains or streams. Any water getting into a stream or drain will not be harmful, but it might concern other people if they see odd colour in flowing water - they might report it to authorities as ''pollution''.
Yes, but nothing that can't be washed. It will most likely stain your hands and clothes - that's why it is recommended to wear gloves and protective clothes when using our product. Also, when diluted - it might stain the rock or surface where the water touches, but it is nothing permanent - sunlight will fade any residue.
There is a range of benefits to using pond dyes other than changing the aesthetic of your pond or lake. Pond dyes will limit the sun exposure, promote a balanced ecosystem within your pond or lake and also protect the wildlife living in your pond.
Although dyes will not get rid of algae it will reduce the sunlight penertration, this will then reduce the growth becuase it slows the effect of photosynthesis.
Pool dye will last between 4-8 weeks on average depending on your weather.
To have the best effect and year long benefits you should apply the dye in early spring and then continue to apply every 4-8 weeks depending on rainfall.
Once the pond dye has completely mixed with the water, its is safe for swimmers to jump in, there is no need for you to worry about dying the colour of your skin.
Absolutely! Our recommendation is top maximum that our dye can work and still be visible. Please wait 24 hours before adding more solution to the water, as sometimes it takes time for colour to 'settle in''. However, if you are using more than it is recommended - you can expect colour to be darker, more vibrant and water can seem deeper.
In case you overdo it, nothing to worry about. It will fade out with either rainfall or sunlight, or you can dilute water with adding more water or partially changing water.
I use it for my pond of about 1000 liters &very small amount is enough!Be careful not to overdo it because the effect is really strong!I ventured with a drop in a tub in a tub and I had to change the water 😅Dosed with a syringe it is perfect!

Gives a fantastic shimmering effect to my pond water, very strong so only add a few drops at a time you can always add more if required, seems to last a long time in the water.
Has transformed the look of my pond. Make sure you wear plastic gloves when using.
I have used water dyes from other companies in the past, so based on that experience I bought a 500ml bottle. This Hydra blue liquid dye is definitely much stronger, it will properly last me a lifetime. Gave a spectacular colour, colour shades change depending on how much you add. I would highly recommend this product to anyone that is look for a blue dye for their pond or water feature.

Very strong product, you only need a tiny amount, gives a great blue in the water showing off my aquatic plants in the shallows.
Hydra blue liquid dye has given my pond a great blue colour. It's doing its job very effectively preventing the algae from growing and blocking my pump.
Has 100% stopped the algae from forming in my pond, fish seem to be less anxious as predators can't see them as easily. This product is very strong so add it very gradually, it is easy to overdo it. With each addition, allow at least 20 minutes for the pump to circulate the dye throughout the pond before adding anymore.

My pond is directly in sunlight most of the day so with this product it has really cleared up my pond. The pond looks very impressive and still looks great but I will very be trying out the black liquid dye next time.
