GENERAL INFORMATION: BRANDT T.A.C. is an innovative unique formulation used for the suppression of bacterial odors and toxic gases in ponds containing organic matter or algae/bacteria. BRANDT T.A.C. may also be used to control algae and bacteria in ponds. In still waters, BRANDT T.A.C. has a vertical dispersion rate of 20 feet per hour and a horizontal dispersion rate of 25 feet per hour. In flowing waters, dispersion is faster depending on turbulence and velocity of flow. Do not apply more than 1.0 ppm as metallic copper.

Note: Effectiveness of BRANDT T.A.C. decreases as the alkalinity increases and is significantly reduced when the alkalinity exceeds approximately 150 ppm as CaCO3. As alkalinity increases, application rates towards the higher end of stated use ranges may be required. Do not apply BRANDT T.A.C. to water less than 40 ppm alkalinity without first doing a preliminary toxicity test on fish in the water. Perform this test in a separate container. BRANDT T.A.C. may be very toxic to trout and other species in soft or acidic waters. This preliminary testing is necessary.

If BRANDT T.A.C. is to be sprayed: - DO NOT apply during temperature inversions;
- Apply only when wind velocity favors on-target deposition (approximately 3 to 10 mph)
- DO NOT apply if wind velocity exceeds 15 mph;
- Use only medium or coarse spray nozzles in boat mounted booms, ground booms,aerial applications or hand sprayers.
- For boat mounted booms, booms should be mounted so nozzle tips are no more than 2 feet above the water�s surface.
GENERAL ALGAE CONTROL: For algae control, apply in late spring or early summer when algae first appear. The dosages are variable and depend upon algae species, water hardness, water temperature, amount of algae present, as well as whether water is clear, turbid, flowing or static. Preferably, the water should be clear with temperatures above 60 degrees F (15.6 degrees C). Higher dosages are required at lower water temperatures, higher algae concentrations and hard waters. Effective control of most algae species can be obtained with copper levels between 0.2 � 1.0 ppm metallic copper.

Application should be done by pouring or spraying BRANDT T.A.C. DIRECTLY FROM THE CONTAINER INTO THE LAKES AND PONDS. Several application points speed up dispersal. Static water requires less chemical for algae control than does flowing water. Use higher dosages to control chara, nitella, and filamentous algae (pond scum) and lower dosages to control planktonic algae. If there is uncertainty about the dosage begin with a lower dose and increase until control is achieved or until the maximum allowable level has been reached. Do not apply more than 1.0 ppm as metallic copper. Before treating bodies of water, consult proper state authorities such as the Fisheries Commission or Conservation Department to obtain any necessary permits. CALCULATIONS FOR THE AMOUNT (VOLUME IN CUBIC FEET) OF WATER IMPOUNDED: If the amount of water to be treated is unknown, calculate water volume as follows: (1) Obtain surface area by measuring of regular shaped ponds or mapping of irregular ponds or by reference to previously recorded engineering data or maps. (2) Calculate average depth by sounding in a regular pattern and taking the mean of these readings or by reference to previously obtained data. (3) Multiply surface area in feet by average depth in feet to obtain cubic feet of water volume. (4) Alternatively, multiply surface area in acres by average depth in feet to obtain total acre/feet of water. (5) For circular or elliptical shaped bodies of water, volume can be obtained by multiplying 3.14 X the radius of the body of water squared (radius X radius) X the average depth [(2) above].

CALCULATE GALLONS OF WATER TO BE TREATED AS FOLLOWS: (1) To find the capacity of a water storage containment or impounded waters in gallons, multiply the water volume in cubic feet times 7.5. or (2) if acre/ft calculations were used multiply acre/ft by 326,000 to obtain total gallons of water. (3) For flowing water measure in cubic feet per second- 1 C.F.S./HR = 27,000 gallons of water. CALCULATIONS OF ACTIVE INGREDIENT TO BE ADDED IF RECOMMENDED USAGE RATE IS EXPRESSED IN PARTS PER MILLION (PPM): 1 gallon of BRANDT T.A.C. in 60,000 gallons of water yields 1 ppm of dissolved copper (metallic copper). If desired application rate is expressed in ppm: (1) Divide total gallons to be treated by 60,000 to yield total gallons of BRANDT T.A.C. required to yield 1 ppm metallic copper. (2) Multiply the foregoing by the desired ppm treatment level to yield actual gallons required. Example: 240,000 gallons to be treated divided by 60,000 = 4 Gallons BRANDT T.A.C. to achieve 1 ppm metallic copper. If a 0.2 ppm level is required then, 4 X 0.2 = 0.8 gallons BRANDT T.A.C. is required to achieve a 0.2 ppm metallic copper concentration.
