Water Treatment and Water Chemestry

Dip treatment against parasites and bacteria - general disinfeectant.

Pond pH Buffer™ is designed to raise pH and buffer decorative ponds without the use of phosphates. It is ideal for use with planted ponds containing koi, goldfish, or other pond fish. It is not eutrophic and will not promote algae growth. It is particularly useful in raising the pH in liner ponds. Buffers between 7.2 and 8.2, but preferentially around 7.4–7.6.

Why It's Different
What distinguishes Pond pH Buffer™ from other buffers is that it does not contain phosphates. This makes it ideal for the ponds, where excess phosphate could contribute to undesirable algae growth.


Directions
Add 500 mL (2 cups) of Pond pH Buffer™ to each 1000 L (250 US gallons) of pond water each day until target pH is reached. Add near a pump intake for optimum mixing and dispersion. CHECK pH AFTER EACH DOSE! Then use as required to maintain pH. Optimum pH for most ponds is between 7.2 and 7.8. This product will raise pH, but will not exceed 8.2. To lower pH, use Pond Acid Buffer™.

Pond Salt™ is a chemically sound blend of salts designed to replicate the native ionic environment of goldfish and koi without adversely impacting on pond plants when used at the recommended dosage. It can also be useful to temporarily reduce nitrite toxicity in an emergency situation. It does not impact pH. For pH control, use Pond Acid Buffer™ or Pond pH Buffer™.
Why it's Different
Pond Salt™ is more than just a simple sodium chloride product. Other salts can burn leaves and roots in a planted pond. However, Pond Salt™ does not cause this type of damage, and actually provides many nutrients crucial to healthy plant growth. Pond Salt™ is a safe and effective alternative to the sodium chloride based pond salts so prevalent.
Directions
When setting up a pond and when making water changes: 100 g (5 tablespoons) for each 200 L (50 US gallons). This amount will yield 0.5 ppt. Once every 6 months: 250 g (12.5 tablespoons) for each 200 L (50 US gallons). For emergency relief of nitrite toxicity: 1 kg (3 US cups) for each 200 L (50 US gallons). Once nitrite toxicity has subsided a water change should be initiated to reduce salinity. (Please note: nitrite levels do not fall, only the toxicity to the fish). The presence of high levels of nitrite indicates a problem with the biofilter. Use Pond Stability™ to restore and maintain the pond biofilter. NOTE: To add salt to an established pond, do so gradually. Add in an area unlikely to attract fish attention (to avoid ingestion). If this cannot be avoided then it is best to dissolve the salt in freshwater before use. Do not use salt when replacing evaporated water. If following the 6 month regimen you must perform regular water changes to avoid salt build up. This product is not recommended for new ponds or water changes if source water already has a salinity above 1.0 ppt

This unique balanced formulation of essential physiological salts
promotes fish health, all year round. It improves water quality with
its built in pH buffer which guards against potentially damaging
swings in pH. Pond Guardian helps fish to maintain a stable
internal salt and fluid balance, which is essential for fish health. It
will help minimize stress in fish and act as a supportive treatment
when treating disease. Pond Guardian also reduces the toxicity of
nitrite a toxic fish waste which can build up in the pond.
