API Pond pH Up 16 oz. (MPN 171B)

API Pond pH UP is a product designed to gradually increase the pH levels of pond water, making it more alkaline. This process is conducted in a way that does not cause harm to the delicate fish and plants living in the pond. It works by slowly neutralizing acid substances that contribute to low pH levels, which can negatively impact the well-being of pond fish and hinder the function of the pond's natural biological filter. When using API Pond pH UP to lower the pH of the pond water, the recommended dosage is 1 teaspoon per 50 gallons of water. To ensure proper distribution, it is advised to carefully mix the desired dose with 2 gallons of pond water in a plastic bucket, and then evenly distribute it around the perimeter of the pond. On the other hand, if the aim is to raise the pH levels, the recommended dosage is 2 teaspoons per 50 gallons of water. For optimal results, it is recommended to add the product to the water flow. It is important to note that the pH levels should not be raised or lowered by more than 0.5 units within a 24-hour period. It is also advised not to treat the pond more than once in a 24-hour period. If necessary, the treatment can be repeated as needed. Overall, API Pond pH UP offers a gradual and safe solution to maintain the ideal pH levels in pond water.
