Description
Bacteria Pack
Each Pond Bacteria Pack includes 12 lbs. or 25 lbs. of bacteria packaged in water-soluble dry pouches. Our pond bacteria helps break down organic matter on the bottom of the pond, diminish nutrient overload, and helps reduce odor to create clean, clear, and healthy water.
Additionally, this is a highly concentrated dry blend that contains cellulose enzymes, hyper cellulose-producing bacteria, and bacteria designed to work in cold weather to accelerate the breakdown of leaves, sediment, and other accumulated dead organic waste all packaged in a barley straw base.
Features:
- Product is easy to apply
- Environmentally friendly
- Safe for fish and plants
- Breaks down dead algae in pond
- Reduces odors
- Dissolves within 5 minutes of placing in water
What makes ours better than other beneficial pond bacteria products on the market? First is concentration. We use 2 Billion CFU’s per gram of bacteria. Most other companies only use a 1B formulation to save money. We also use a 5 way blend of microbes formulated specifically for ponds and lakes. These bacteria strains are highly active at breaking down organic matter and are used extensively in the wastewater treatment industry. Lastly, with our dry formulation, we can get 20-50x more active bacteria in the package than you can with a liquid pond bacteria product. Ask before you purchase someone else’s product what their concentration is and how many strains of microbes they use. Many suppliers don’t know and if they do, they won’t tell you.
Product Use Rates:
Apply 4 lbs. (8 waters soluble packets) per surface acre every 2 weeks. For a 1/2 acre pond, you would use 2 lbs. (4 packets). Double the initial dose and start treating once the water temperature hits 50 degrees F. Note: For ponds that have excessive sediment (black organic matter) on the bottom or prone to algae, you may want to double the application rate for best results.
