Pond Cleaner is designed to treat the cause, not the effect, of pond maintenance problems. Excessive algae growth results from easily available food sources - normally excess nutrients in the water. Pond Cleaner bacteria digest the excess nutrients before the algae, cutting off the algae's food supply. The microbes used in BactaClean are natural soil and water bacteria that are an essential part of the mechanism for the efficient transport of nutrients from the soil into the turf roots. BactaClean Pond Cleaner also improves the water quality of irrigation ponds by breaking down ammonia salts and other contaminants before they reach the turf.
Common sense indicates that better water contributes to better turf.
The bacteria in BactaClean Pond Cleaner attack the cause of pond odor, ammonia and slow decaying organic matter. By accelerating and stabilizing the natural nitrogen conversion reactions, bactaClean greatly reduces or eliminates the release of ambient ammonia. Rapid digestion of accumulated organic matter eliminates foul odors. BactaClean reduces the algae population and digests floating and suspended organic matter that clouds the water column. BactaClean Pond Cleaner is designed to be a preventive maintenance product.
