Water Treatments

API Pond Accu-Clear quickly clears floating particles and helps clarify cloudy and murky water to help maintain a crystal clear pond. Accu-Clear helps filters function more efficiently by causing tiny suspended cloud particles in pond water to clump together.

• Clarifies murky or cloudy water
• Helps establish a healthy pond
• Clears floating particles

Use Pond Zyme Plus or EcoFix along with Accu-Clear for unmatched cleanliness in your pond. Safe for all fish, plants, pets and wildlife when used as directed. For ornamental pond use only.

Made in the USA.

Directions: Add 1/4 cup (60 ml) per 600 gallons of pond water. DO NOT OVERDOSE. Overdosing will result in less effective results. Wait 24 hours before adding a second dose, if one is needed. Dose weekly to maintain water quality. 16 oz treats up to 4,800 gallons. 32 oz treats up to 9,600 gallons. 64 oz treats up to 19,200 gallons. 1 gallon treats up to 38,400 gallons.

Important: Before use, make sure your pond has plenty of aeration (i.e., fountain, waterfall, air pump, etc.), especially during the hot summer months. API Pond Accu-Clear effectively removes unwanted organic matter, which produces high volumes of oxygen during the day. When using Accu-Clear, it is crucial to provide a vigorous source of oxygen to avoid fish death.

API Pond Ammo Lock (formerly PondCare Ammo-Lock) instantly detoxifies ammonia from fish waste, tap water, uneaten fish food, and decomposing plants and algae. Use as a water conditioner to instantly make fresh pond water for plants and fish, or to remove unsafe ammonia levels in existing water.

• Detoxifies ammonia
• Instantly makes pond water safe for fish
• Eliminates ammonia stress and promotes healthy gill function
• Use whenever ammonia is detected

Ammo Lock has been uniquely developed to eliminate the toxic effects of chlorine, chloramine and ammonia that may be present in municipal water used to fill ponds. Fish waste, decomposing algae, plants and uneaten fish food produce ammonia. Ammonia, which is a colorless and odorless toxic chemical, is the number one killer of pond fish. Ammo-Lock also detoxifies harmful levels of ammonia that can occur in pond water from overfeeding and overstocking of fish.

Ammo Lock is a patented formula that instantly neutralizes both chlorine and chloramine and effectively "locks up' any potential ammonia or immediate ammonia up to 5 ppm per dose. Although ammonia will still be present in pond water, converts the ammonia to a form that is nontoxic to aquatic life; this nontoxic form actually serves as a source of nutrition for nitrifying bacteria in the biological filter. Ammonia build-up can occur whenever starting a new pond, before biological filtration becomes active, or when there is inadequate biological filtration.

API Pond pH Down slowly lowers the pH of pond water (making it more acidic) without harming delicate pond fish or aquatic plants. Optimal pH for most ponds is 7.0. Contains sulfuric acid.

• Slowly lowers the pH of pond water
• Will not harm delicate pond fish or aquatic plants
• Slowly neutralizes alkaline substances

Slowly neutralizes alkaline substances that cause high pH (pH of pond water is affected by mineral leaching, soil runoff and decomposing waste). A high pH limits the ability of aquatic plants to absorb necessary nutrients. Contains no algae-promoting phosphates.

Directions: Add 1 teaspoon for every 50 gallons of pond water. Mix this dose in a bucket with 2 gallons of pond water and distribute evenly around the perimeter of the pond. Wait 24 hours, test pH again and repeat treatment as necessary.

API Pond Stress Coat instantly makes tap water safe for fish, removes chlorine, chloramines and toxic ammonia, reduces stress and adds a protective slime coat for enhanced disease prevention. Use during start-up and regular water changes to help keep your fish healthy and your pond water safe.

• Removes chlorine, chloramines and ammonia
• Detoxifies heavy metals from tap water
• Replenishes fish slime coat, reduces stress and heals wounds

Stress Coat completely neutralizes and removes chlorine, chloramines and ammonia and detoxifies heavy metals to make water from the hose safe for pond fish. It replenishes the natural protective slime coat, making fish less susceptible to disease during times of high stress. Stress Coat is made with Aloe Vera, which promotes healing and helps restore damaged skin, fins and other fish wounds. Use whenever adding tap water or fish to the pond or when fish are injured.

Made in the USA.

Directions: When adding water to the pond: add 4 Tbsp. per 240 gallons of pond water, or 1/2 cup for each 48- gallons. In areas of known high chloramine use by local water companies, double the dose for added fish protection. When introducing fish to the pond or to promote healing: double the dose. 16 oz treats up to 1,920 gallons. 32 oz treats up to 3,840 gallons. 64 oz treats up to 7,680 gallons. 1 gallon treats up to 15,360 gallons.

Note: Formerly known as Pondcare Stress Coat Plus.

API Pond Simply-Clear Fast Acting Bacterial Pond Clarifier that quickly clears murky, cloudy water and keeps it clean and clear through natural bacterial action.

• Consumes Phosphates and Nitrates
• Clarifies water of organic and inorganic materials
• Quickly clears pond water

This triple action formula acts fast - clears pond water and breaks down sludge and offers a long-term solution to un-clear pond water. Pond Simply Clear is a fast acting bacteria that feeds on small size organic materials that often cause cloudy water conditions. As the bacteria rapidly grow they shed their outer coating which acts as natural flocculent clumping fine particles.

As the fine particles clump together they either drop to the bottom of the pond or are removed by the pond filter. Once the particles are clumped together the bacteria have a concentrated food source further reducing the causes of cloudy water conditions. The bacteria require phosphates as a necessary food source eliminating it from the water. The fast-acting bacteria are extremely efficient at breaking down dissolved proteins that are associated with poor water clarity. Simply Clear bacteria will quickly clear pond water and digest and eliminate the floating particles.

Dosage:
16 oz: Treats 4,000 Gallons
32 oz: Treats 8,000 Gallons
64 oz: Treats up to 16,000 Gallons
1 Gallon: Treats up to 32,000 Gallons

Dosing Instructions:
Initial dose: Add 2 oz. per 250 U.S. gallons twice a week for two weeks.
Maintenance dose: Add 1 oz. per 250 U.S. gallons or 1/2 cup per 1,000 U.S. gallons every two weeks.
End of season dose: Add 2 oz. per 250 U.S. gallons twice a week for two weeks.

Microbe-Lift Barley Straw Pellets Plus is a 100% natural and organic formula that will naturally balance your pond water and improve water clarity. Fish will not eat Barley Pellets as they do not contain any food value.

• Matures pond water chemistry and buffers pH
• Quickly releases decomposition by-products
• Works all year round

Designed to disperse immediately by placing pellets in your pond or packing in a porous fabric sock and suspending in your pond or available chamber in your skimmer or filter. Please refer to Alternate Image for Application Rates.

What is it Microbe-Lift Barley Straw Pellets Plus is an environmentally responsible, cost-efficient pond conditioner that is a natural and organic way to a healthy pond environment! Barley straw and selected natural peats have been processed and packaged to make them easy and clean to apply. Manufactured using an exclusive proprietary pelleting process that eliminates the use of wheat, corn and other binders, the barley straw is harvested and stored under climatic conditions that assure the quality of these essential ingredients.

How does it work It works in much the same way as ordinary barley straw...only faster! Whereas barley straw works by releasing certain natural chemicals as it biodegrades, so do the pellets in MICROBE-LIFT/Barley Straw Pellets +, only the breakdown compounds are released faster: dispersing equally throughout the water; reacting photochemically with sunlight; and activating humic acids to produce hydrogen peroxide-an oxidizing agent that also helps to keep the water clear-naturally and at a low level of release. The humic acid will also chelate metals such as copper or arsenic. MICROBE-LIFT/Barley Straw Pellets + are rich in organic peat which softens pond water-reducing nitrate and phosphate concentrations in the water column-and provides a buffering agent and ion attenuation in lined ponds that additionally gives them some beneficial properties of earthen ponds!

Please note: MICROBE-LIFT/Barley Straw Pellets + will leave a residual on the bottom of the pond. The bacteria in the Microbe-Lift products as well as MICROBE-LIFT/Sludge Away will digest this organic residual.

Note: 4.4 lb bag is now packaged in a box for your convenience.
