Aquascape Sludge & Filter Cleaner 8 oz (MPN 98889)

Aquascape Sludge Cleaner is a product that contains 5 concentrated strains of beneficial bacteria. These bacteria serve as natural cleaners and help to maintain a healthy balance in ponds by quickly removing debris and preventing filter pads from getting clogged. In an enclosed ecosystem like an ornamental water garden, various factors such as fish load, uneaten food, leaves, sludge, and other unwanted debris can disrupt the balance. However, the Aquascape Sludge Cleaner ensures a strong biological balance, resulting in clean and clear water conditions. When using the Aquascape Sludge & Filter Cleaner, it is recommended to add the product to the part of the pond with the most circulation or directly into the skimmer opening. It is important for the water temperature to be at least 60°F. One pump of the cleaner is sufficient to treat up to 100 gallons of water. For ponds that are particularly dirty or at the beginning of the season, it is advisable to treat the water twice a week for the first two weeks. After the initial treatment, a maintenance dose of 1 pump per 100 gallons of water should be used on a weekly basis for the remainder of the season. By following these dosage instructions, pond owners can enjoy a well-maintained and healthy water environment.
