Eliminating sunlight by covering the complete water surface creates an effective shade factor to control the growth of algae. The pictures below show a case study comparison from cooling towers at an actual Cooling Tower Balls™ customer.

Sizing
Approximately 10 balls are needed per square foot of water surface.
Examples:
5' x 10' sump = 50 square feet x 10 balls per square foot = 500 balls
10' x 10' sump = 100 square feet x 10 balls per square foot = 1000 balls
100' x 50' pond = 5000 square feet x 10 balls per square foot = 50,000 balls
Note: Sizing so there are a few extra balls is fine. The extra balls will simply start a second layer with added benefits.
