BENEFICIAL BACTERIA, NEW MUD BALLS & BARLEY STRAW THROWERS. Bacteria are one of natures wonders and our range of beneficial bacterial additives are a range of natural supplements that increase the number of helpful bacteria in a number of locations i.e. ponds, septic tanks etc. Clarity - A healthy pond is a clear pond. The healthy pond is a complex environment where fish,plants and other animals live in perfect harmony. Sometimes this harmony is disrupted resulting in algae and blanket weed growth , particularly in Summer but this can occur all year round. Clarity is a natural blend of bacteria normally present in healthy ponds and as they start working they control blanket weed / algae, reduce organic debris, reduces ammonia / nitrates / phosphorous and lowers pond scum / odour in stagnant waters. As ponds heat up with the spring and summer sunshine, algae and blanket weed can flourish. Clarity is a natural blend of bacteria supplied in powder form and is simply added on a weekly basis and as they start working they control blanket weed & algae. Clarity Pro - Clarity Pro is a much more concentrated form for use in much larger ponds and lakes i.e. over 549 gallons (2500 litres) but any size of pond or lake can be treated. For ponds up to 4500 gallons or 20,000 litres add 62.5g initially, then 2 weeks later add 37.5g, then 2 weeks later add 25g and then monthly add 25g. A scoop is supplied which measures 25g. (For a pond half the size, use half the amount). For a pond 4500 gallons or 20,000 litres, 1 kg of clarity PRO will last 3 years! To work out how much Clarity Pro is needed for LARGE pond or lake a simple formulae is used :- Pond Length (m's) x width (m's) x depth (this is average depth in m's) = ? then divide this figure by 1.6 and this is the dose factor in grammes. i.e. My pond on the land is 10m x 10m x 2m deep, therefore my dose factor is 125g Treatment with Clarity Pro consists of an initial treatment of 2 x dose factor i.e. in my case 2 x 125g = 250g, followed by a second dose of 1 x dose factor i.e. in my case 125g 2 weeks later and then 1 x dose factor every month after that. Therefore 1kg of Clarity Pro will last me 5 months. To treat the pond, the Clarity pro, which is supplied as a powder is simply dissolved in luke warm water (10 x as much water as powder i.e. to dissolve 250g of Clarity Pro use 2.5 litres of water) and allowed to stand for 4 hours, with occasional stirring. This encourages the bacterial activity and makes adding the Clarity Pro to the pond much easier. Clarity Pro has been used successfully on amenity ponds and lakes to clear blanket weed and algae matting.
