100% biological action that removes sludge build up in ponds. Digests organic sludge and eliminates foul odors. Safe, rapid action. Safe for fish, wildlife and aquatic plants.Treats up to 1,000 gallons per ounce.
Sludge build-up causes four significant problems. First, it results in an anaerobic zone (meaning a zone without significant dissolved oxygen). An anaerobic zone is a place where potentially dangerous, disease-causing bacteria (pathogens) tend to grow. The larger the anaerobic zone (meaning the greater the depth of sludge build up), the greater the potential for significant populations of pathogenic bacteria in the pond, which can harm fish. Second, sludge build-up is the main cause of pond odors. When the build-up is significant, hydrogen sulfide (which has a rotten egg odor) is produced. And hydrogen sulfide is not only odorous, but can poison fish. Third, sludge build-up may deplete oxygen reserves, particularly during warm weather. The worse the build-up, the worse the oxygen depletion. Of course, low oxygen levels can be stressful or even fatal to fish or other wildlife. Fourth, as sludge build-up reaches excessive levels, nitrogen and phosphorous that is part of the sludge will slowly be released. This nutrient release can cause severe water quality problems, including algae blooms. Of course, the larger and deeper the pond, the more difficult it is to mechanically remove the sludge build-up. But there is a simple way to control sludge build up. Dose the pond as described below with UltraClear Sludge Digester.
