UltraClear Biological Pond Clarifier 32 oz (MPN 41000)

This liquid formulation contains beneficial bacteria that are essential for the nitrogen cycle. These bacteria are non-pathogenic and consume nutrients that can lead to excess algae, helping to maintain water purity. It is highly recommended for seeding a new biological pool filter, as it reduces ammonia and nitrite levels and improves clarity in ponds. Additionally, it has positive effects on fish and wildlife in ponds. To keep water clear, it should be used routinely in water garden pools, ponds, or indoor aquariums. The initial dosage should be one ounce per week for water garden pools up to 2500 gallons, and after one month, it can be reduced to twice per month or as needed. This formulation is suitable for treating both water garden pools and large or small ponds. For spring preparation, general maintenance, and problem ponds, the dosage of UltraClear is determined by the volume of water to be treated. The table provides specific dosage recommendations based on pond size. Spring Prep involves using the specified dosage for three consecutive days, and then switching to the maintenance dose. This can be done at the beginning of the pond season or when introducing new animals, plants, or features to the pond. General Pond Maintenance requires using the specified dosage once a week or as needed. Treatment frequency may vary, with some ponds requiring treatment only once a month. In the case of Problem Ponds experiencing severe clarity issues or nutrient imbalances, a higher dosage of UltraClear can be used 2 or 3 times per week until the problem is resolved, and then switched back to the maintenance dose. It is important to note that this product cannot be shipped when temperatures are freezing.
