Microbe-Lift PL Gel Bacteria 8 oz. (MPN GEL8)

PL GEL is a unique product that revolutionizes the way bacteria is applied to filter media. Unlike other products, PL GEL is designed to stay in place once applied. It can be easily attached to any type of filter media, such as foam, floss, bio-balls, and more. By doing so, it quickly establishes the necessary biological activity in your filter, leading to a stable and healthy pond environment. Additionally, PL GEL can also restore the biological activity after cleaning or changing the filter media. The convenient flip-top squeeze bottle allows for easy application without any mess or running. It contains the same spectrum of bacteria found in Microbe-Lift PL, ensuring its effectiveness. The presence of naturally occurring bio polymers helps organisms to attach to the media, reducing the filter start-up time by 80%. This product is particularly beneficial for ponds with high solids loading, as it allows for more frequent cleaning without causing instability. Furthermore, PL GEL accelerates the breakdown of organic solids, reducing the maintenance requirements of the pond. It also helps to establish de-nitrification in the filter, resulting in lower nitrate levels. To apply PL GEL, simply spread it directly on the filter pad or media and let it set for 1-2 hours before inserting it into the filter or skimmer. It is recommended to turn off the pump for 1-2 hours after insertion, as long as the water can maintain adequate oxygenation without circulation. The application should be repeated every time the pads or media are cleaned or replaced. Overall, PL GEL is a convenient and effective solution for enhancing the biological activity in pond filters.
