Pond Clarifier

Maintains crystal-clear pond water. Quickly clears cloudy pond water. Helps filters function more efficiently. Works by causing tiny suspended cloud particles in pond water to clump together. The clusters quickly fall to the bottom.

Use Pond Zyme Plus or EcoFix along with Accu-Clear for incomparable pond cleanliness.

PondCare® Accu-Clear®

Algaecide

Effectively controls many types of green or green water algae, string or hair algae and blanketweed in ponds that contain live plants.

Controls existing algae and helps resolve additional algae blooms. Keeps ornamental ponds and water gardens clean & clear. E.P.A. Registration #8709-8.

Can be used in ponds with plants!

PondCare® AlgaeFix®

Ammonia Detoxifier

Remove chlorine & chloramines from tap water & detoxify ammonia, continually produced in the pond, by waste matter. Locks up ammonia, converting it into a form that not only is nontoxic to aquatic life, but serves as a source of nutrition for nitrifying bacteria in the biological filter.

Eliminates ammonia stress and promotes healthy gill function of pond fish.

PondCare® Ammo-Lock®

PondCare® Chlorine & Heavy Metal Neutralizer

Instantly neutralizes chlorine, copper, lead and zinc, as well as other heavy metals found in tap and well water, all of which may be toxic to fish and plants. One ounce treats 600 US gallons of pond water.

The health and beauty of all pond life depends on the quality of water added to the pond. Many tap water supplies used to fill garden ponds contain chlorine. While chlorine makes water safe for drinking, it is highly toxic to pond life. Chlorine destroys fish gill tissue, preventing the uptake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide, resulting in fish death. Even low levels of chlorine irritate delicate skin tissue on frogs, snails, newts, and salamanders.

Certain metals, such as copper and zinc, are essential to pond life metabolism. But in elevated and unnatural levels, they become toxic and are classified as “heavy metals.” These include lead, copper, zinc, and manganese, which are prevalent in many water supplies. Heavy metals sometimes enter tap water via lead and copper pipes, as well as the solder used to join the pipes. Airborne pollutants can deposit heavy metals in the pond. Heavy rains carry airborne metals into the pond, where they may accumulate to toxic levels. Acid rain causes “unreactive” metals lying dormant in the pond to become toxic.

Bacterial Pond Clarifier

Makes pond water clean and clear. Breaks down dead algae. Increases the concentration of dissolved oxygen in pond water. Helps create a healthy ecosystem for pond fish. Can be used in ponds containing salt.

EcoFix helps create a healthy ecosystem for pond fish, makes pond water clean and clear, breaks down dead algae and increases oxygen levels in pond water.

Murky, cloudy water keeps you from enjoying your pond and fish as much as you would like. In addition, dissolved organics and sludge build up and reduce the oxygen concentration in the water, creating a breeding ground for disease-causing, pathogenic bacteria.

EcoFix contains five strains of live bacteria that digest sludge and reduce dissolved organics, making pond water clean and clear. The bacteria, which remain in a dormant state until added to the pond, become active and begin consuming the organic substances responsible for cloudy, hazy pond water. EcoFix will never smell like "rotten eggs" which is caused by the build-up of toxic hydrogen sulfide. EcoFix needs no refrigeration and should be stored at room temperature. Accidental freezing of the product will not reduce its performance in the pond. In cold water (below 40°F) the activity of EcoFix, as with all bacterial products, will be reduced.

pH Adjusters For Ponds

PondCare® pH UP®
Slowly raises the pH of pond water (making it more alkaline) without harming delicate pond fish or aquatic plants. Slowly neutralizes acid substances that cause low pH (pH of pond water is affected by mineral leaching, soil runoff & decomposing waste). A low pH can stress pond fish & suppress the activity of the biological filter. Contains no algae-promoting phosphates.

PondCare® pH Down®
Slowly lower the pH of pond water (making it more acidic) without harming delicate pond fish or aquatic plants. Slowly neutralizes alkaline substances that cause high pH (pH of pond water is affected by mineral leaching, soil runoff & decomposing waste). A high pH limits the ability of aquatic plants to absorb necessary nutrients. Contains no algae-promoting phosphates.

Heavy Duty Pond Cleaner

Specially selected bacterial strains in Pond Zyme Plus immediately begin breaking down fish waste and dead algae that cause cloudy water, sludge build-up, and debris that clogs pumps and filters.

Through enzymatic action, Pond Zyme Plus reduces pond maintenance and keeps pond water clean and clear. Pond Zyme Plus is a 100%-natural product, safe for all pond fish, plants and wildlife.
