Aquascape Barley Straw Extract 8 oz. (MPN 98903)

Barley straw has been a popular method for maintaining clean and clear water in ponds and streams for centuries. To enhance its effectiveness, Barley Straw Liquid Extract has been developed. This pharmaceutical-grade extract undergoes a fermentation process and is concentrated to provide you with a pond that is clean and clear. Additionally, enzymes are added to the extract, which aids in reducing the need for pond maintenance by breaking down pond sludge and ensuring cleaner filter pads. There are several benefits to using Barley Straw Liquid Extract. Firstly, it promotes clear and clean conditions in your pond, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal. Moreover, it begins working immediately upon application, offering quick results. The formulation is highly concentrated and contains added enzymes, further improving its effectiveness in maintaining your pond's cleanliness. When it comes to application, it is recommended to add the extract to the area of the pond with the most circulation or directly into the skimmer opening. Just one pump of the extract can treat up to 100 gallons of water, making it a cost-effective solution. During the initial two weeks, it is advised to treat the pond twice a week. Once the pond has matured, a maintenance dose of one pump per 100 gallons of water per week is sufficient. By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your pond remains clean and clear with minimal effort.
