Developed from over 20 years of research and comprehensive field studies, MuckAway is The Original Muck Reducer, leading the industry as the most effective solution for muck reduction.
MuckAway tablets are designed to sink below the water's surface, traveling directly to the muck layer, releasing highly concentrated beneficial bacteria that instantly begin consuming settled organic debris, rapidly converting it into an odorless gas that escapes unnoticed from the water column.

FAQs
Is MuckAway safe to use in a pond used for swimming?
Yes, water treated with MuckAway may be used for swimming, recreation, fishing, and other activities immediately after treatment. MuckAway is all-natural and safe for horses, livestock, birds, pets, fish, wildlife, and the environment.
Does the muck disappear overnight?
No. Keep in mind that it took a long time for pond muck and debris to collect in your pond, so it won't disappear overnight. For example, if your pond has 12 inches of muck accumulation and MuckAway eliminates 2 inches per month, it can take 6 months to achieve your desired result. Patience and consistent treatment will pay off in the long run.
Can I just do one application of MuckAway?
Just like vitamins, consistent use over time will provide the most benefit. Natural decomposition, seasonal changes, and storm runoff will continue to affect your pond. Regular beneficial bacteria treatments using MuckAway should continue, as well. In addition, MuckAway probiotic bacteria is developed for optimal results utilizing the listed dosage rate, and pouring the whole package in at one time will not achieve the results you’re looking for.
Can MuckAway get rid of leeches?
Leeches live in the muck and detritus in shallow areas of your pond or lake. MuckAway is perfect for spot-treating trouble areas and removing organic debris, destroying leeches’ habitat.
Does MuckAway get rid of algae and pond weeds?
No. MuckAway is an all-natural beneficial bacteria treatment designed to reduce pond muck and improve overall water quality. If you're looking to fight algae, consider Airmax Algae Defense. If excessive pond weeds have taken over, consider Airmax WipeOut, EasyKlear, or Ultra PondWeed Defense. If using an algaecide or herbicide, we recommend waiting at least three days before using MuckAway. This ensures that the chemical treatment does not kill the beneficial bacteria in the MuckAway.
Can I use MuckAway in my small fishpond or water garden?
Airmax MuckAway is all natural beneficial bacteria, and it will not harm the aquatic life in a small koi pond, fishpond, or water garden. MuckAway is formulated for large, acreage-sized ponds and lakes, and the dosage rates are listed as such.
Can MuckAway be used with other water treatments?
Yes, we recommend a proactive approach to pond management. Use MuckAway in combination with other Airmax products, including EcoBoost PRx, PondClear, Pond Dye, and Airmax Aeration to keep your pond looking great. All these products are part of the Airmax Ecosystem, a highly successful approach to Pond and Lake Management.
