Question 1

Is it safe for the pump?

Accepted Answer

Hello Wilhelm,
Thanks for asking!
I see no reason why this product would have any negative impact on pump performance. Infact, it may help clean it in usage.
I hope this is helpful!

Question 2

our birdbath is shallow, so in hot weather we must refill it every day or every other day. do you add this product every day?

Accepted Answer

I add one cap full once a week unless the water has to be replaced sooner-evaporation, spillage, or dilution by heavy rain.  Then I add a cap full each time.  I would experiment with less product(1/2 cap full) with each refill or maybe one cap full every 2nd or 3rd day and see what works.  Actually, with daily changes you may not need the product at all.

Question 3

Does this also work on keeping fountains with a pump free of algae?

Accepted Answer

While the Microbe-Lift Birdbath Clear should help keep the water clear, it is not an algaecide.  ML Birdbath Clear is for birdbaths.  For Fountains with pump, we have Microbe-Lift/Small (and Large) Fountain Clear.  For algae, we have Microbe-Lift/AlgAway 5.4.  In a Birdbath it would only require a drop of the algaecide once weekly if there is algae growing.  Otherwise, you can use Microbe-Lift/Concentrated Barley Straw Extract as a preventative product.  It will not interfere with the use of Fountain Clear.

Question 4

Do I need to empty out the dirty water before I can use this?

Accepted Answer

Hello Maxine,
Thanks for asking!
The bird bath clear is used once per per week to keep bird baths clean and clear. If it is an existing dirty bird bath you may want to try scrubbing with Microbe-Lift Soy-Based Birdbath & Statuary Cleaner.
