Aquascape Barley Straw Extract 16 oz. (MPN 98904)

Barley straw has been utilized for many centuries to promote the cleanliness and clarity of water in ponds and streams. To offer a solution for a pristine pond, Barley Straw Liquid Extract is a high-quality, fermented barley extract that has undergone concentration. In addition to its unique formulation, this extract contains enzymes that aid in the breakdown of pond sludge and the prevention of clogged filter pads. These added enzymes contribute to a reduction in pond maintenance. The benefits of using Barley Straw Liquid Extract include providing clear and clean pond conditions, with its effects taking place immediately. Its concentrated formula, which includes enzymes, ensures maximum effectiveness. To properly administer the extract, it is suggested to add it to the area of the pond that has the most circulation or directly into the skimmer opening. A single pump of the extract treats up to 100 gallons of water. For the first two weeks, it is recommended to treat the pond twice a week. Once the pond has reached a mature state, a maintenance dose of 1 pump per 100 gallons on a weekly basis is sufficient.
