Why Use Beneficial Pond Bacteria?
Ponds are likely to have organic waste such as leaves, fish feces, and uneaten food. Over time, this accumulation leads to cloudy water, unpleasant odors, and excessive algae blooms. A Bacteria Pack adds special Beneficial Bacteria that break down the organic waste and restore the natural balance of your pond. By using Pond Bacteria regularly, you can:- Improve water clarity
- Avoid sludge and muck buildup
- Control excess nutrients fueling algae growth
- Prevent obnoxious odors caused by organic decay
- Promote a healthier aquatic plant and fish environment
