™ JIE Pond Pucks™ JIE Pond Pucks are made from non-toxic ingredients to mimic natural processes making them safe for fish and invertebrates. JIE Technologies Ltd. ™ 2012 2 Our Solution JIE Pond Pucks doesn’t try to kill the algae We attack the source of the problem by inhibiting the growth. We break the growth cycle early, during the first stage of growth Preventing the formation of floating algae mats. JIE Technologies Ltd. ™ 2012 3 Interrupting the cycle One of the ingredients is pulverized barley, it triggers a chemical reaction as it breaks down. The interaction of sunlight with peroxide and barley release organic acids (humics) that inhibit algae growth. These humic and fulvic acids, along with increased levels of oxygen form a difficult environment for algae to begin it’s growth cycle.

JIE Pond Pucks may seem simple but there is a lot of engineering involved in it’s design and function to provide bacteria with an ideal environment. Along with oxygen, JIE Pond Pucks release a buffer component. Although the buffer does not change the pH in the entire pond, it does correct the pH in the small micro environment surrounding the bacteria de-hydrate. This enhances the success of the dormant bacteria to germinate once they are re-hydrated because the surrounding water is rich in oxygen and at a desired pH level. JIE Technologies Ltd. ™ 2012 9 Diverting the nutrients JIE Pond Pucks lowers dissolved Phosphorus by the agglomeration (flocculation ) process which helps limit algae growth in the water. These buried nutrients in the bottom sediments are available for the growth of rooted aquatic plants such as those which grow along the shore line of a pond; emergent species. Emergent species are beneficial because they can filter the water entering a pond taking up nutrients into their biomass. JIE Technologies Ltd. ™ 2012 10 Keys to success 1 surface acre is 200 ft x 200 ft 2kg of product for each surface acre Insert Pucks 1 meter from bank and 3 meters apart on a clear sunny day Ensure they are submerged under any algae mat The remainder of the dosage is spread in the center JIE Technologies Ltd. ™ 2012 11 Early Season Application Correct Environment • • • • • Any body of water that can grow algae will be an ideal environment The depth of water does not matter to the success of the products. If copper sulfate type products have been used we recommend waiting two weeks after last installation before the first application of the Pucks. The starting dates could vary some based on geographic locations and the general rule is to begin applications when water temperature is near 10 C. The key is to follow the monthly application intervals as listed in this dosage program. JIE Technologies Ltd. ™ 2012 12 Schedule 1. First Application April 1st. 2.5 kg Puck Pond Clarifier + 1.5 kg Augmentation Puck per surface acre 2. Second Application May 1st. 1.5 kg Augmentation Puck per surface acre 3. Third Application June 1st. 2.5 kg Puck Pond Clarifier per surface acre 4. Fourth Application July 1st. 1.5 kg Augmentation Puck per surface acre 5. Fifth Application August 1st. 2.5kg Puck Pond Clarifier per surface acre 6. Sixth Application September 1st. 1.5 kg Augmentation Puck per surface acre Overall effect After application a film develops on the surface. This will sink within a couple of days You will see clear water after 5 to 7 days The Pucks may raise and fall several times This will prevent the formation of floating algae mats. The bottom sediment will breakdown properly. Unpleasant odors will be prevented from forming. JIE Technologies Ltd. ™ 2012 14 www.JIE-Tech.com 洁加科技(86) 21 5213 6400 JIE Technologies Ltd. ™ 2012 15
