CrystalClear Clarity Max Plus with Activated Barley is designed to restore balance to the pond ecosystem by breaking down organic material that creates problems for pond hobbyists in and around waterfalls, rocks, stream beds, plant pots, pumps and filtration systems.

CrystalClear Clarity Max Plus will work quickly & efficiently to clean the pond by reducing sludge in the pond & filtration devices. CrystalClear Clarity Max Plus reduces cloudy water by precipitating organic and inorganic materials.

Crystal Clear Buffer - All ponds are affected by pH. Alkalinity or acidity will determine whether the pH is high or low, respectively. In order to maintain pH at a constant it requires buffering the system, which means controlling the alkalinity of the water. Alkalinity is the capacity of a natural water system to resist change in pH and is measured in terms of bicarbonate and carbonate ions available in the aquatic system.

Mixtures of weak acids and their salts are called buffers. Carbonate is usually the most significant buffer system in natural waters and is the system that is usually responsible for pH maintenance in aquatic ecosystems. CrystalClear Buffer is a pH buffer solution designed to resist pH change because of the ionization equilibrium between the weak acid and weak base changes in a manner that allows them to consume hydrogen ions or hydroxide ions that are added to the system. The initial pH of an aquatic system will be controlled by the ionization constant that exists, which depends on the relative concentration of acid or base and its salt. Solutions at pH below 7.0 are acid, those above 7.0 are basic (alkaline).

Crystal Clear Water Soluble PLUS is an all-natural pond water treatment, freeze-dried bacteria and enzyme complex formulated to remove nasty water and organic sludge.

CrystalClear Biological Clarifier PLUS (Dry) is fortified with several billion bacteria colonies per gram and six (6) enzymes all selected and designed for their waste and green water degrading properties.

CrystalClear Biological Clarifier PLUS (Dry) has among the highest bacteria counts presently available to the water gardening market today.

CrystalClear Biological Clarifier Liquid/Dry is an all-natural, premium bacteria and enzyme product, designed to remove sludge and to seed biological filters.

Once applied CrystalClear Biological Clarifier will immediately begin to multiply and work to remove harmful decaying sludge that has accumulated from years of fish waste, dead plants, leaves and many other organic materials, working as a sludge treatment.

D-Solv will help remove attached organic debris from waterfalls, streams and rocks in seconds. Use the maintenance dosage of D-Solv once a week and eliminate complete pond shut down for yearly clean-outs forever. D-Solv will also keep fountain intakes clean and remove unsightly scum from the perimeter of any size pond. D-Solv is your personal pond cleaner in a bottle, without the time, money, mess, effort to catch the fish, drain the pond, wash and scrub the scum in the pond, refill the pond and put the fish back in hoping you don’t stress them and kill them. This usually 4 – 5 hour process can be eliminated forever by simply treating your pond once weekly with D-Solv.

• Eliminates Pond Cleaning
• Uses Oxygen POWER
• Non-Toxic To Fish
• Deep Cleans Rocks, Waterfalls, Plant Pots, Streams & Any Where Organic Debris Accumulates

Crystal Clear Dechlorinator Even low levels of chlorine and chloramines can be extremely toxic to fish. Chlorine is a very powerful oxidizing agent and it is toxic to fish at concentrations of less than 0.05 mg/L.

Water used for fish culture should not contain any residual chlorine to be considered safe. Chlorine and chloramines cause gill damage which eventually results in gill lesions. These lesions will eventually thicken the gill filaments leaving the fish unable to utilize oxygen and release carbon dioxide, thus resulting in fish death. CrystalClear Dechlorinator (Liquid/Dry) will work to break the chlorine and chloramine bonds (chlorine + ammonia = chloramine) and reduce the chlorine and ammonia down to non-toxic levels.

CrystalClear Dechlorinator (Liquid) is phosphate and nitrate free, safe for fish and plants and has a shelf life of 3 years.

CrystalClear Foam Remover will remove protein foam from the pond or fountain’s surface in seconds. Many fountains are collection areas for a lot of organic materials. This build-up, in combination with the heavy aeration common with the splashing of a fountain or roaring waterfall oftentimes results in foam formation.

Crystal Clear Foam Remover removes protein foam from fountains and ponds, works in seconds, helps keep water clean, 100% safe & effective, easy application and is non-hazardous.

CrystalClear Nitrifier is also an all-natural bacteria and enzyme based product specifically designed to remove ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. Crystal Clear Nitrifier contains special bacteria that will safely convert ammonia to nitrite and nitrite to nitrate via a process known as nitrification. Once this process is complete toxic ammonia has been converted to harmless nitrate which will be utilized by aquatic plants.

Ammonia is extremely toxic in its un-ionized form and non-toxic in its ionized form. This can be controlled by keeping pond water at low pH levels. At low pH levels ammonia will ionize and at levels higher than 7.2 ammonia begins to un-ionize and becomes more and more toxic. Ammonia at high levels will burn the surface of fish scales and gills, thereby stressing the fish to the point of death.

Before using CrystalClear pH Salts, make sure the alkalinity (carbonate concentration or buffering capacity) of your water is about 80 ppm. We suggest buffering the alkalinity with CrystalClear Buffer. It is also a good idea to test the water's pH first with CrystalClear Test Strips.

CrystalClear pH Salts Down will safely and efficiently lower the pH of an ornamental pond within safe ranges (6.5-9.0). If you water is hard or alkaline, a higher dose of CrystalClear pH Salts Down may be required.

CrystalClear pH Salts Up will raise the pH of pond water to within safe levels. It is recommended to be used only when the pH of a pond is lower than 6.0. It is importan to note that pH is typically lowest at dawn and higher at dusk.

CrystalClear PondTint turns your pond an alluring shade of blue to help prevent photosynthesis from occurring with in the pond. This will help keep algae from forming, provide safety for fish from predators and will help keep water cool in the hot summer days.

CrystalClear PondTint is a mild dye and will not be an “overpowering” dye that you will not be able to see your fish. It is designed to act more like car window tint and not a complete cover. CrystalClear PondTint is the perfect product for the pond during those hot summer months.

CrystalClear RapiClear is designed to clear water gardens and koi ponds quickly and safely by combining suspended particulate together. This process is commonly called “flocculation”.

Flocculation basically means that suspended organics within the water column attract together, making the accumulated mass heavier than water. This “mass” will eventually drop to the bottom of the pond where a good bacteria colony can utilize the organic mass as food and remove it from the pond, or it will simply get removed by filters, skimmers, etc.
