A natural, beneficial, environmentally safe bacteria that is non-pathogenic, non-toxic and non-caustic. Microbe-lift PL creates a healthy environment in your pond and promotes faster fish growth. It improves dissolved oxygen levels and reduces hydrogen sulfide odors.

Microbe-lift PL works in both high and low alkalinity. It metabolizes dead algae and dissolves away organic sludge. It also seeds and maintains biological filters and reduces biological oxygen demand. It has a shelf life of 3-5 years.

Treats a 1,000 gallon pond for two months (a 5,000 gallon pond requires 46 oz. for the same two month period)

• Creates a healthy environment for your pond, promoting faster fish growth.
• Reduces ammonia and nitrogen levels.
• Significantly reduces noxious odors caused by dead algae, fish fecal matter, and urine.
• Reduces hydrogen sulfide, which creates strong, offensive odors.
• Reduces buildup of bird droppings, fish feed, and dead leaves.
• Breaks down dead algae.
• Improves dissolved oxygen levels.
• Dissolves away organic sludge.
• Seeds and maintains biological filters.
• Contains nitrifiers, including both Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter species.
• Contains photosynthetic bacteria which reduces cloudy water by promoting flocculation and settling of organic and inorganic particles.
• Effective over a wide range of pH conditions.

Organic Digester powder and liquid are designed for use in fish and prawn ponds, lakes and lagoons, where organic odors and organic accumulations are a problem.

Organic Digester contains huge amounts of naturally occurring bacteria which have been selected and produced for their ability to degrade organic matter and reduce ammonia accumulations through a natural oxidative process.

Organic Digester has multiple strains of beneficial bacteria, including Nitrobacter and Nitrosomonas.

Organic Digester digests these organics naturally and safely. When added to the pond, Organic Digester creates a biological chain reaction by producing greater and greater quantities of natural bacteria and enzymes. This is the most concentrated product on the market.

Jump Start is a professionnal formula of 50% Nitrosomonas and 50% Nitrobacter nitrifying bacteria. Jump Start is excellent for rapid "cycling" in a new bio-filter or re-start of existing bio-filters in Spring or after use of harsh medications. Jump Start does NOT need to be refrigerated during shipping within the U.S. but MUST be kept refrigerated during storage.

Jump Start is manufactured by the makers of KoiZyme and was beta tested for 15 months prior to its 2008 introduction. It was tested by filter manufacters, pond maintenence companies, and many of our dealers here in the U.S.

Available in quarts (treats 1,200 gallons) and gallons (treats 4,800 gallons).

• Cost-effective cultures
• Reduces organic matter
• Reduces sludge
• Reduces odors

MICROBE-LIFT/Basic Beneficial Bacteria contains naturally occurring, non-toxic microorganisms. It is safe for all waste-water process systems, humans, lakes, rivers, pets and the environment.

MICROBE-LIFT/Basic Beneficial Bacteria is a spore-based blend of Bacillus species. These aerobic heterotrophs (organic degraders), provide the ability to quickly establish populations necessary for breaking down organic waste from fish, waterfowl, plants and other aquatic life in your pond and aids in quickly establishing a functional population in your pond’s filter.

As a result, MICROBE-LIFT/Basic Beneficial Bacteria helps to keep water clean and control build-up of sludge or bottom solids. It also helps to establish denitrification, the biological conversion of nitrate (NO3) to nitrogen gas (N2), which bubbles harmlessly out of your pond reducing the availability of soluble nitrogen, which can stimulate unwanted growth in your pond.

Always unplug UV lights for 24 hours when adding bacterial cultures. Note: If algaecides/herbicides are used to treat the water, apply MICROBE-LIFT cultures 48 hours after algaecide or herbicide applications.

• Easy to use, cost-effective culture concentrate
• Requires no fermentation or growth process
• Add water and use at once or within 90 days of dilution
• Provides enhanced biological degradation & rapid reductions in organic matter
• Reduces odors
• Provides reduction in sludge
• Enhances all root zones and plant life in and around the pond

MICROBE-LIFT/Concentrated Basic Beneficial Bacteria is a highly active liquid culture consortium designed specifically for use in a wide range of environmental applications. This novel concentrated bio-formulation is designed to provide a reduction in end-user cost of microbial products while meeting the requirements of a highly active bio-formulation.

MICROBE-LIFT/Concentrated Basic Beneficial Bacteria is designed to accelerate the biological oxidation of slow-to-degrade organic matter in aerobic, facultative anaerobic, ponds and lagoons. This novel technology speeds biological oxidation of all organic matter, significantly improving biological performance.

MICROBE-LIFT/Concentrated Basic Beneficial Bacteria cultures will promote an increase in biological degradation in all types of biological water systems, water features and agricultural applications. The cultures increase the degradation rate of organic compounds that have been shown to negatively impact ponds, lakes and lagoons. They resist high concentrations of inhibitory constituents and improve system performance.

• Keeps water clean
• Eliminates organic buildup
• Significantly improves water quality and appearance
• Buffers/aids in pH control
• Improves marine life quality
• Promotes essential bio-film development
• Promotes bio-filter performance
• Beneficial to water plant root systems

Note:  Now has Barley Straw added!!

Organic Digester Too is a bacterial based product designed to restore balance to the pond environment.

Organic Digester Too cleans ponds by breaking down organic materials that create unsightly problems in and around waterfalls, rocks, plant pots, pumps, sides, bottoms and filtration systems. This product is a problem solver. Once the problem has been resolved, it is best to continually use our regular Organic Digester powder or liquid to maintain a good bacterial balance within the pond.

Organic Digester Too is a natural, bacterial product and has been laboratory and field tested on ponds that range from 500 gallons to over 500,000 gallons. In these ponds Organic Digester Too was found to reduce excessive nutrient content that contributes to organic growth and enhanced existing filtration systems.

The six specific enzymes contained in this product will perform the initial work to begin the breakdown of the waste. The enzymes will act as a “saliva” to breakdown the bulk of the waste so the bacteria can perform there function more easily and efficiently. Once the wastes have been consumed the only bi-products that are excreted by the bacteria are harmless carbon dioxide and water.  There are billions of bacteria colonies per gram that work with the enzymes. 

Prior to using Organic Digester Too, these conditions must exist: pH of water maintained between 6.5 & 9.0. Water temperature above 60 F (15 C). Dissolved Oxygen levels above 3 ppm (3 mg/l).

Standard Application Rate:

(Treat ponds 2-3 times the first week at suggested rates, then 10-14 days thereafter until problem has been resolved. For more severe problems use a double application.)

Application Directions:  Apply Organic Digester Too over the surface area (it should touch the problem where ever possible) or around the perimeter of the pond in DRY form (not mixed with pond water).  Be careful not to let the product dust plant coverage.  Immediately after application the pond may become cloudy.  This is a normal process and should clear within 24-48 hours.  Allow 3 to 4 weeks for pond to balance.  If you have a problem in the water itself, mix the Organic Digester Too into a paste (with a small amount of pond water) and let it drop on top of where the growth is.

1 spoon (13 grams) treats 275 gallons (1040 liters)

7 spoons treats1875 gallons (7097 liters)

This special dry blend should not be confused with the common powders found in today’s marketplace! MICROBE-LIFT/PBD packets contain cellulase enzymes, hyper cellulase producing bacteria and a cold weather bacteria (psychrophile) to accelerate the breakdown of leaves, small twigs, sediment and other accumulated dead organic waste. MICROBE-LIFT/PBD can be used as a stand-alone product, combined with our Liquid MICROBE-LIFT/PBL in the spring, or used in winter as well.
