UltraClear Sludge Digester 12 oz (MPN 47120)

UltraClear Sludge Digester is a highly effective solution for eliminating sediment pond sludge and pond muck. It effectively addresses the accumulation of various substances such as fish and animal waste, decaying leaves and grass, uneaten fish food, and dead algae. Manual removal of pond sludge can be challenging, which is why Sludge Digester offers a perfect solution for ponds struggling with sludge issues. By preventing oxygen depletion caused by unhealthy pond sludge during the spring and summer, Sludge Digester promotes a healthier environment for fish and wildlife. Pond sludge can lead to several significant problems. Firstly, it depletes oxygen reserves, especially during warm weather, which can have stressful or fatal effects on fish and wildlife. Secondly, it creates an anaerobic zone where disease-causing bacteria thrive due to the absence of dissolved oxygen. The larger the anaerobic zone, the higher the risk of harmful pathogens developing. Additionally, pond sludge is the main culprit behind unpleasant pond odors, such as hydrogen sulfide, which emits a rotten egg smell. Lastly, pond sludge releases nitrogen and phosphorus, leading to severe water quality issues like algae blooms. To ensure effective pond maintenance, it is recommended to use Sludge Digester regularly. The dosage entails adding one ounce of the product for every 1000 gallons of water. For optimal results, dose the pond at least once a month, or up to once a week. However, it is important to note that during the peak summer season, dosing should not exceed once a week. It is also worth mentioning that Sludge Digester can be utilized in any weather condition, including cold weather. For fall clean-up, a higher dosage should be used daily for 4 to 7 consecutive days, especially towards the end of the pond season when temperatures and sunlight decrease compared to peak summer conditions. Lastly, it is important to note that the product cannot be shipped when temperatures are freezing.
