Would this be effective to use in keeping water in an ornamental fountain clear and free of the mold and fungus that grows in it instead of bleach?

It is bleach. Ingredients on the bottle says, "Sodium Hypochlorite" It's a rip off. Some people think it's some kind of stabilized formula but it's just a scam. Buy bleach or find a product specifically for ponds. Bleach only lasts 1 year from manufacture so when you get it there probably is only six months left. Get swimming pool Chlorine, "Calcium Hypochlorite". It will have a much longer shelf-life. You would only need a very small amount because it contains ten times the Chlorine as bleach.

Very unlikely. since it appears to be a type of bio-filter, much of its effectiveness is likely tied to its porosity which won't be returned completely by soaking in bleach.

I'm sure you could but it wouldn't last as long - you would have to clean it often as mold would probably grow eventually as water gets trapped under it. I would contact the manufacturer for better information.

Sorry for the delay, I really don't know about mold. I have used it as a pest control, it really works well. Safe around pets and kids

From Lowe's website: "Resists growth of fungi, mold and mildew." It's nothing but bubble wrap between two pieces of mylar; there's nothing there that water could damage.

I use in fresh water. You will have to check with the manufacturer. Good Luck.

I would think so, I've not had a moldy LP so I can't say yes. However the system and cleaner work really well, I'm pretty pleased with the results. The water was filthy after my first 20 cleans!

I use this in equal amounts with chlorine. The Oxy-Spa keeps the water clean while the chlorine keeps the mold from forming above the water line.

You could since it's entirely plastic, but I would be concerned about getting water in it. Wouldn't want it to get moldy.

since we use bottled water, we have never had a problem with algae or mold. But we do rinse with a vinegar solution every so often.....

Not likely. It circulates air through a filter. I am not sure how that could have much of an impact on mold.

I can't say for certain, but I do know this silicone is not intended for that sort of use. I definitely wouldn't suggest using it to caulk the seems of your tank. Creating scenic elements (like a reef), maybe... There is specific "Aquarium Silicone" you can buy that is specifically designed for the sort of use you need it for. It's very pricey though. The biggest difference between the two is that aquarium silicone creates acetic acid during curing which has properties to prevent mildew and mold. Generally, if a silicone is labeled as food-safe, then it should be safe to put in your tank. To be 100% sure, I would opt for the silicone that is specific to my need. Smooth-On does make aquarium-safe plastic resins though, and they even have a step-by-step tutorial on how to make reefs. :) Good luck with your project.

I'm sure it would be. Rather than the expensive water treatment supplements I use vinegar. Get it. The humidifier is wonderful.

I'm not so sure it would be effective on mold. To be honest I wasn't impressed with it cleaning ability in general. Had others that do as well and better.

It helps eliminate moisture in an enclosed area. Not sure about stopping mold; don't think so.

Actually, it reduces algae in the water. The decorations will still collect weird little globs of algae. It more for water clarity than algae remover.

I am not a chemist but I use it everywhere it is needed. Carpets, sinks, tile floors, etc. Never had a problem. If you are asking if it would be effective in killing mold, mildew, etc. then I would give you a strong yes.
