Microbe-Lift Oxy Pond Cleaner 18 lbs (MPN OPCLG)

Microbe-Lift Oxy Pond Cleaner is an effective solution that targets and eliminates unsightly debris in various areas of your pond, such as rocks, waterfalls, streams, and planters. It utilizes the power of oxygen to safely treat both light and heavy accumulations of debris. When used as directed, this pond cleaner is completely safe, making it an excellent choice for maintaining the cleanliness of your pond. For optimal results, it is advisable to manually remove as much debris as possible from your pond before using Microbe-Lift Oxy Pond Cleaner. Additionally, shutting down waterfalls can facilitate the cleaning process. It is important to note that the pond cleaner should not be diluted and should be sprinkled directly over the areas that require treatment. However, it is recommended to avoid applying the product directly on live plants whenever possible. To ensure a well-balanced ecosystem in your pond, it is advised to add a bacterial/enzymatic treatment, such as Microbe-Lift PL, 48 hours after using Microbe-Lift Oxy Pond Cleaner. Before using Microbe-Lift Oxy Pond Cleaner, it is crucial to test the ammonia levels in your pond water using Microbe-Lift Ammonia Test Strips. If the ammonia levels exceed 0.8mg/L, it is recommended to wait until the levels are brought down below this threshold before applying the pond cleaner. In cases where the ammonia levels exceed 1.0mg/L, it is necessary to add Microbe-Lift Ammonia Remover. After using any oxygen release compound, including Microbe-Lift Oxy Pond Cleaner, it is vital to monitor the ammonia levels in your pond for two days. These compounds can potentially harm beneficial bacteria in the pond, leading to an increase in ammonia or nitrite levels. If the ammonia levels exceed 1.0mg/L, the application of Microbe-Lift Ammonia Remover is necessary to reduce the ammonia level to 0.8mg/L or below. To determine the appropriate dosage of Microbe-Lift Oxy Pond Cleaner for your pond, refer to the provided table that outlines the application rates based on pond size and debris accumulation level. For routine maintenance without existing debris, the recommended dosage ranges from 0.75 oz. to 8 oz., depending on the pond's size. The table also offers specific guidelines for large ponds and lakes, as well as recommendations for cleaning non-painted surfaces. By adhering to these application rates, you can effectively utilize Microbe-Lift Oxy Pond Cleaner to uphold the cleanliness of your pond.
