YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Why are Natural Ponds so Clear?
In nature, bacteria maintain balance. Bacteria are nature's invisible cleaners and millions of these cleaning bacteria are present in healthy ponds, removing the food required by algae and blanketweed for growth.
How does EcoTreat Clarity work?
EcoTreat Clarity makes sure that your pond has sufficient cleaning bacteria to keep it healthy. In the pond, the bacteria leave the powder carrier, multiply and get to work cleaning the pond.
Is it Safe for Fish and Plants?
YES. EcoTreat Clarity contains a blend of bacteria naturally present in healthy ponds. As the bacteria start working they create a healthier environment for your fish, plants and other wildlife. It is also harmless to humans and animals.
How Quickly does it Work?
A pond is a complex ecosystem. The time taken for bacteria to establish varies according to the pond conditions and external factors. Improvements generally start to appear after 3 to 4 weeks although this process is slowed as temperatures fall, especially below 10 degrees Celsius.
Can a UV Filter be used?
UV filters must be switched off during the INITIAL DOSING stage to allow the bacteria to establish themselves in the pond. The UV filter can then be switched back on 48 hours after the last Initial Dose and kept on even during the Maintenance Doses.
Can Tap Water be used to Top up the Pond?
Yes, but if the volume added in one go exceeds 25% of the total pond volume, then an additional maintenance dose must be added at this time.
