UltraClear Biological Pond Clarifier 12 oz (MPN 41125)

This liquid formulation contains beneficial bacteria that are essential for the nitrogen cycle in water. These non-pathogenic bacteria help control excess algae by consuming nutrients, improving water purity. It is highly recommended to use this formulation to seed a new biological pool filter as it reduces ammonia and nitrite levels. Additionally, it beautifies ponds, enhances clarity, reduces organic sediment, and benefits fish and wildlife. It can be used routinely in water garden pools, ponds, or indoor aquariums to maintain clear water. Initially, one ounce per week is suggested for water garden pools up to 2500 gallons, and after one month, the dosage can be reduced to twice per month or as needed. This product is suitable for treating different sizes of water garden pools and ponds. The UltraClear dosage for each application depends on the volume of water to be treated in three main scenarios: Spring Prep, General Maintenance, and Problem Ponds. For Spring Prep, the dosage should follow the chart for three consecutive days, then switch to the maintenance dose (once a week or as needed). This dose is necessary at the beginning of the pond season or when introducing new animals, plants, or features to the pond. In terms of General Pond Maintenance, the recommended dose is according to the chart once a week, or as needed. This can be started at any time, and although once a week doses usually yield the best results, some ponds may require treatment as infrequently as once a month. For Problem Ponds with severe clarity issues, bad odors, or signs of nutrient imbalance, it is advised to dose 2 or 3 times per week until the problem is resolved, then switch back to the maintenance dose. It is important to note that this product cannot be shipped when temperatures are freezing.
