Water Garden Pond Supplies, Clear Water & Algae Control
Algae Control
 
Everyone seems to be concerned about algae in their garden ponds.  What we need to know about algae is that it is just a plant that grows naturally.  This algae feeds on nutrients in the water, nutrients come from debris that fall into the pond, fish wastes and excess fish food that falls to the bottom.  By adding cultured bacteria such as Clear Pond we can reduce the amount of nutrients in the pond water and starve the algae out of its food source, thus killing the algae. 
 
The two most popular pond treatments that help reduce algae are Clear Pond BSL which is a liquid formula and Clear Pond Dry which is a dry granular formula.  The liquid formula is specifically designed to consume nutrients or particles floating in the water.  The Dry formula is geared more toward the debris and sludge that have accumulated on the bottom of the pond.
 
BENEFICIAL BACTERIA FORMULA
A Natural Prescription for a clean healthy Pond.
 
A new innovative bacteria formula has been developed to be beneficial to pond life and is 100% environmentally safe, non-Pathogenic and non-toxic.  Should be used in spring along with our Clear Pond Dry Formula to jump start your ponds biological system.
 
When used on a regular basis, Clear Ponds beneficial bacteria helps to promote a healthy balanced pond that will naturally reduces the effects of string algae pea soup green water, sludge that usually builds up at the pond bottom and help to control the build up of wild life waste.
 
The Bacteria and enzymes in Clear Pond:
 
  • Bacteria reduces the effects of string algae pea soup green water
  • Consume sludge that usually builds up at the pond bottom
  • Improve dissolved oxygen content
  • Consume dead algae
  • Work in a wide range of pH
 
Safe for All Aquatic Life
 
Clear Pond Dry Formula Is designed with specific cultures that contain wide range of beneficial active microbes with enzymes.  These act to break down nutrients in the water such as fish waste, decayed fish food or plant material.  These nutrients over time cause toxins to form in the pond water which are harmful to koi and gold fish.
 
Clear Pond DryFormula is a natural way to balance your pond water.  Pond water untreated contains nutrients like broken down plant material fish waste, when the Dry formula is added it goes to work with over 56 billion sleeping microbes in each ounce waiting to eat.  As these microbes eat they multiply to a level necessary to suppress polluting toxins.
 
Chloramine Buster is a specially developed triple action compound that has the capability to separate the chlorine/ ammonia molecule from the ammonia molecule and render the chlorine harmless, while at the same time reduce the “free ammonia” to safe levels for aquatic life. (.025 or less)
 
In established ponds Chloramine Buster may also be used to reduce ammonia where levels are high or toxic, whether or not chloramines or chlorine is in the water.
(Prepare Your Pond For Winter)
 
Our Fall and Winter Formula is a blend of cold water aerobic and facultative anaerobes that are capable of working in both an oxygen and non-oxygen environment and also in darkness under ice.  These microbes have been isolated and trained to produce large amounts of digestive enzymes when put into pond water.
 
When used with the included FWF Dry Packets this new formulation:
 
  • Breaks down sludge thru the winter months to prepare your pond for a healthier and cleaner Spring.
  • Breaks sown fish waste, leaves and other fibrous matter that has fallen into the pond throughout the spring, summer and fall months.
  • Improves Oxygen content through the winter months.
  • Effective in water temperatures under 55 degrees F.

Crystal Lagoon is a safe and natural non-toxic polymer.  When introduced into the pond water this polymer is a molecule whose units join to form a chain.  Crystal Lagoon uses a very long chain with electrical charges, you might call hooks, scattered along it’s length.  These “hooks”, gather up suspended material in the water to form “flocs” or flakes that can be filtered out, or sink to the pond bottom.  When used with Clear Pond Liquid, Crystal Lagoon:
 
  • Clears Cloudy Water
  • Removes (chelates) metals such as copper, iron, manganese, zinc, etc.
  • Balances pH naturally, and is so biodegradable it is actually good for the environment

Using Barley Straw is a simple and efficient method to keep ponds clear and clean all year long.  Since the middle ages farmers have known of the benefits of Straw and used it to keep ponds clear.
 
To best observe the benefits of Barley Straw it should be used continuously throughout the year in conjunction with our Clear Pond BSL and  Dry Formula, which can be used year round.  Treatment with our Barley Straw can be started at any time.
 
According to the CAPM, “when barley straw is put into water, its cellular structure starts to break down or decompose aided by a mixture of water, light and oxygen, that is why barley works best when floating near the water surface.  A Microbial activity process drives this breakdown or decomposition.”  It is during this process that chemicals are released which inhibit the growth of algae.
 
Choose between: Barley Pads, 3 Pack,Snip-Its, for small ponds and water features, New Lavender/Barley blend.  When Barley Straw is blended with lavender stalks it tends to be ore effective in keeping troubled ponds clear and clean (requires pumped circulating water), and Pond Strips supplied in 33’ rolls treat ponds up to ¼ acre each.  Pads are 7” square each and treat up to 700 gal. of water.  Each Pond Pad or Roll is good for use for up to four months. Pads are in packs of three.  Sixes for Ponds for 10 gallons to ¼ acre.
 
Sometimes water's pH is affected by debris, tap water or well water. High or low pH can have a harmful effect on fish, that's why we developed our pH Increaser and pH Decreaser.
