I used to drop a brick of barley straw in behind the pillar every 3 to 6 months & I was good to go. BUT the stupid raccoons kept pulling it out & ripping it apart & leaving barley ALL over my deck. I have no idea why. So I was looking for a way to fix that. BUT all I could find was stuff (pucks, solutions, etc...) that were for BIG ponds. I contacted Pond Guys and they figured out from my measurements how many gallons of water were in my fountain & told me how many tsp to use every 3 weeks. YAY!!! Great customer service & great product. They also suggested a motion sensitive "predator light" that looks like eyes to scare off the raccoons. I didn't get that because (1) it would have to shine directly into my bedroom to be effective & I would be the one freaking out & (2) they aren't afraid of ANYTHING. They are huge city raccoons & ignore me when I come out & yell at them so I doubt a light would do anything... except entertain them while they take it apart. Every few weeks they pull the lower fountain pump out & leave it on the deck... I have NO idea why. I had to order a special one that turns off when there is no water after they burned out the 1st one. I LOVE the sound & the birds playing in the water during the day but the raccoons... not so much. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Vital to clear pond water *by L***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2024* Used to use the bales. This is so much easier and works even better than the barley bales. Used regularly, water is always clear! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Clear water *by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2024* Used this product to hopefully clear my goldfish pond up. Has only been in the pond a week, but seems to be working. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Pond Guy Barley Straw Pellets Natural Clarifier for Water Gardens & Fountains, Treatment for Cloudy Ponds, Koi Fish, Plant & Pet Safe, 12 lbs - CrystalClear AlgaeOff Pond & Water Garden Scum Cleaner, Waterfall & Rock Slime Remover, String Algae Killer, Green Stain Treatment, EPA Registered Algaecide, Plant, Koi Fish, Bird & Pet Safe, 25 lbs - CrystalClear Barley Extract Water Garden & Fountain Clarifier, Natural Liquid Concentrate to Treat Cloudy Ponds, Koi Fish, Plant & Pet Safe, 2.5 Gallon --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/196763213-the-pond-guy-barley-straw-pellets-natural-clarifier-for-water](https://www.desertcart.us/products/196763213-the-pond-guy-barley-straw-pellets-natural-clarifier-for-water) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
