As stated, it was my understanding that it's a nice way to really get a pond squeaky clean. The QT is a liner pond (no plants and vertical walls) and I did take care with taping down the folds to avoid collection of debris...

I honestly thought I was just playing it safe... Seems to me, PP isn't that popular. Could someone shed some light as to why? I did some searching and the only negatives I could find were in regards to overdosing and the like...

Thanks,
