Summit 1139 Clear-Water Barley Straw Planter, Treats up to 1500-Gallons

Perfect for keeping the water clear and for making a floating planter!

This thing it cute but don't plan on keeping a plant in it. It will help keep the green down in your pond but it gets waterlogged and sinks so the plant gets eaten. Cute idea poor execution.

I bought this more for the look as a planter than a water clarifier. I have tried similar products for a water clarifier and know they do not work.The planter hole is too small for anything but seeds.It is a nice looking product but does not work as a floating planter.

Helped to clear our water within a few days but could not get it to stay upright, especially with a plant in it. Ended up partially submerging in our bog just before the waterfall & it stayed put there. Probably wouldn’t order another one.

I bought 3 other products to try to combat the algae problem in my pond, nothing was working! I was getting so frustrated— I put in the ball and and it started working immediately. I haven’t put a plant in it yet because I wasn’t sure if it would even work. I am so happy! My pond is finally back to almost clear and I can actually see my fish! ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you!

Besides being able to put a seedling size plant in the middle, the whole barley straw bale leans precariously to the side, threatening to flush out the plant. Going to see if a styrofoam wreath ring will rectify the problem. 🤨

You definitely need to rinse and soak the Barley bale for a couple of days before you put it in your pond. Otherwise, it will discolor the water.One day after putting it in my pond and adding plants it kept flipping over.You can see in the photos my solution to that problem. The connection I got at an irrigation store and the clear tubing you can get at Any hardware store.

I planted a water plant in it and floated it in a 30 ga ceramic planter with 4 baby goldfish, hooked up to a recirculating solar pump. The barley did not keep the water clean. It is murky. And after two months, it rolled over and sank.

Il est plus petit que je pensais mais a fonctionné tout l'été

Looks lovely in our pond. It does sink once saturated though so if you want to use it as a planter, keep it on the shallowest shelf. Our little green frog loves it too - sits in it for hours.I don't know if it works to keep algae blooms down but it's a nice addition to our pond.

Arrived on time and safe and sound. Waiting to buy some fish proof plants before I christen them.

I used this product for my fish pond so far it has been affected

I never observed a difference in my pond water.
