Highlighted Reviews

— Kelby

"After pouring lots and lots of chemicals into our pond to rid the moss and algae, we were informed by a friend to try this Pond Boss and it worked great! All you do is glove up, unwrap it and throw it in to the center of the pond and it does the rest. Will definitely be buying this again!!"

— Denise

"Ugh, what a mess this made. The water never cleared, and was much, much worse with big gobs of greasy-looking schmutz floating all over. It did nothing to help with the water clarity."

Bottom Line

If you are looking for a straightforward and easy-to-use solution to clear your pond, Pond Boss The Block is worth a try, but be prepared for mixed results based on user experiences. It performs better in controlled and moderately sized ponds.
