Pond Water Treatments

It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. For use in self-contained ornamental ponds and fountains without any outflow. For small ponds with heavy algae growth, clean the excess algae off the sides and ornaments before adding MicrobeLift ALGAWAY 5.4™. This will reduce the amount of decaying organic matter. Fountains, Small Ponds with goldfish and koi - Treat only those fountains and ponds which will have no outflow after treatment. High water temperatures cause more rapid natural decay of dead algae which can cause fish distress. If animals are present clean out excess algae as stated above or use before temperature exceeds 75°F (24°C)

Caution: In ponds, insure that water is well aerated via waterfall, fountain or other method to prevent fish loss. Aeration must be continuous.

Caution: Not safe for use with snails, shrimp and other crustaceans or mollusks.

• 16 oz. treats 5,678 gallons

Microbe-lift Ammonia Remover Neutralizes Toxic Ammonia, Chlormine and Clorine. It gives beneficial bacteria time to multiply and recover if the biological filter gets damaged keeping pond fish from being stressed.

Every ounce removes 1.25 ppm of toxic ammonia in 150 gallons of pond water by forming an irreversible complex to reduce free ammonia to safe levels.

May be used at startup when making water changes, replacing lost water due to evaporation or when your pond is overstocked with too many fish.

Neutralizes residual chlorine and destroys deadly chloramine

Naturally, safe for use with all pond fish and aquatic life.

Microbe-Lift® Dechlorinator Plus neutralizes chlorine and breaks the chloramine bond while not scavenging oxygen as other dechlorinators do. Microbe-Lift® Dechlorinator Plus will render toxic pollutants harmless (including iron, copper, lead, zinc and free iodine).

Use Microbe-Lift® Dechlorinator Plus with your regular partial water changes and when replacing lost or evaporated water. Microbe-Lift® Dechlorinator Plus is highly concentrated for maximum dechlorination, detoxification and water conditioning.

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)

PL/GEL is a technological breakthrough because it’s the first product that puts the bacteria right where you want it and it STAYS THERE!

PL/GEL will quickly attach to and populate any filter media including foam, strapping, floss, bio-balls, ceramic media, etc. This will help to rapidly establish the necessary biological activity in your filter to stabilize your pond’s environment quickly. It will also helps restore this activity to your filter when you clean or change the media in your filter.

• Easily applies to the filter pads/media without running or getting messy
• Contains the same spectrum of bacteria found in MICROBE-LIFT/PL
• Contains naturally occurring biopolymers, helping organisms quickly attach to the media allowing for an 80% reduction in filter start-up time
• Helps to stabilize pond environment quickly upon startup and to eliminate transient instability that can occur when filter media is cleaned or replaced
• Allows for more frequent cleaning of filters without subsequent instability if a pond has a high solids loading where frequent cleaning is beneficial
• Reduces the frequency of cleaning by accelerating the breakdown of organic solids that can lead to high maintenance requirements
• Helps to establish denitrification in the filter which can lower nitrate levels in the pond
• Convenient, Easy-to-Use, Flip-Top Squeeze Bottle!

Like most types of mechanical/biological filters, bead filters rely on the use of a media that provides a high surface area/volume ratio. This allows for support of the necessary amount of biomass, in the form of a biofilm, to properly remove organic and inorganic waste from the water, making it suitable for fish and other normal aquatic life. Within the biofilm it is possible to carry out aerobic, facultative anaerobic, anaerobic and chemosynthetic processes if all the necessary bacterial species are present.

Consequently, for these filters to function, it is necessary to have proper numbers and distribution of species. MICROBE-LIFT/SUPER START contains aerobic heterotrophs, facultative anaerobes, anaerobic and chemotrophic bacteria capable of carrying out all of the necessary processes for optimum performance of bead filters.

All natural Microbe-lift Barley Straw Concentrated Extract is a liquid concentrate barley straw extract specially formulated to Naturally balance pond water and improve calarity.
