Product details
Bactogen is a concentrated blend of beneficial bacteria, enzymes, minerals, and trace elements designed to enhance the biological filtration of pond water. Regular use throughout the year can improve water quality, reduce sludge, and decrease harmful compounds like nitrites, ammonia, and phosphates.
Key Benefits:
-
Enhances Natural Decomposition: Accelerates the breakdown of organic matter, aiding in the reduction of sludge and filamentous algae.
-
Improves Filtration Efficiency: Strengthens the biological activity within the filter, promoting the conversion of toxic substances into harmless compounds.
-
Reduces Harmful Compounds: Lowers levels of nitrites, ammonia, and phosphates, contributing to a healthier aquatic environment.
-
Adds Essential Minerals and Trace Elements: Enriches the water with necessary nutrients that support overall pond health.
Usage Instructions:
-
Preparation: Shake well before each use.
-
Application: Once the water temperature exceeds 10°C (50°F), distribute Bactogen evenly over the pond surface, focusing on areas with optimal water circulation.
-
Dosage for Initial Treatment: Apply 2 measuring scoops per 5 m³ (1,320 gallons) daily for 5 consecutive days.
-
Maintenance Dosage: Apply 2 measuring scoops per 5 m³ (1,320 gallons) 3 to 4 times per month.
-
Optimal Conditions: For best results, turn off UV and ozone devices for at least 24 hours after application. Ensure pH and hardness levels are appropriate; adjust if necessary using KH+ or GH+ products.
-
Enhanced Efficacy: A pre-treatment with Biobooster+ the day before can further accelerate the purifying action of the bacteria.
-
Water Additions: If adding new water, use a neutralizer 24 hours prior to eliminate chlorine and heavy metals.
Storage:
-
Keep in a dry place between 10°C and 25°C (50°F–77°F).
