I have always used it around water having an idea that it wouldn't make the fish go belly up...lol After 30 years I finally looked it up.

Short version is:     Water treatment options for organic aquaculture are restricted, compared to those available to conventional fish farming; only easily degradable disinfectants are allowed. One of the permissible water disinfectants that can be used in both conventional and organic aquaculture production systems is sodium percarbonate

The advantage of applying SPC over other H₂O₂ products is that it is safe and easy to handle. Being a granulated powder, it can be evenly distributed in a pond or raceway by use of a hand shovel.

That's what I said...lol

Cleaning over or around water can be a challenging task, as it requires special precautions to ensure safety and protect the aquatic environment. Here are some general tips and guidelines for cleaning over or around water:

1. Safety First:

   • Always prioritize safety when working near water. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as life jackets, safety goggles, and gloves.
   • Be cautious of slippery surfaces and uneven terrain near the water's edge.

2. Environmental Considerations:

   • Be mindful of the environmental impact of your cleaning activities. Avoid using harsh chemicals or detergents that can harm aquatic life.
   • Do not dispose of cleaning waste or debris directly into the water. Use appropriate waste disposal methods.

3. Choose the Right Equipment:

   • Select cleaning equipment and tools that are designed for use in wet or aquatic environments.
   • Pressure washers, wet/dry vacuums, and water-resistant cleaning agents can be useful.

4. Prevent Contamination:

   • If you're cleaning a boat or any equipment that has been in the water, be sure to inspect and clean it thoroughly to prevent the spread of invasive species from one body of water to another.

5. Determine Water Depth and Currents:

   • Before starting any cleaning task near water, assess the water depth and current conditions. This information will help you plan your cleaning approach and stay safe.

6. Use Non-Toxic Cleaning Products:

   • Whenever possible, use eco-friendly and non-toxic cleaning products to minimize the environmental impact.

7. Contain and Collect Debris:

   • Use containment booms or barriers to prevent debris and contaminants from spreading into the water.
   • Collect debris and waste using appropriate tools and containers, ensuring that nothing is left behind.

8. Dispose of Waste Properly:

   • Dispose of collected waste in accordance with local regulations. This may involve recycling or taking it to an appropriate disposal facility.

9. Regular Maintenance:

   • To prevent the buildup of algae, barnacles, or other aquatic growth on structures, consider regular cleaning and maintenance schedules.

10. Professional Help:

    • For large-scale or complex cleaning tasks over or around water, consider hiring professional cleaning services with expertise in water-related cleaning and environmental protection.

Remember that specific cleaning tasks (e.g., cleaning boats, docks, bridges, or waterfront properties) may have unique requirements, so always follow any applicable guidelines and regulations in your area. Prioritize safety, environmental protection, and responsible cleaning practices when working over or around water.
