I wrote Ironite to ask about solubility implications for their product used
in ponds. If I get a reply, I will share it. Their website suggests that
rats given a high dose orally do not get sick. They attribute that to the
form of the lead and arsenic in ironite. The issue that faces us has to do
with solubility over time and the quantities we use. Would it stay in
locked form if it sits in the pond? Would it dissolve and build up in the
water? Do water changes help? post any reply I get.

Ok. Will somebody tell me what is up with the controversy over
Ironite? In this ng and from some of our local ponders, Ironite used in
moderation is said to do wonders for WH. Now I am seeing all kinds of
very negative and cautionary site discussing the horrors of Ironite.
And, I see there is a "new and improved" formula available.

Thanks for your comments
