WATER QUALITY GUIDELINES

Success with any aquatic system supporting fish depends on good water quality.  Attributes of poor water quality are pH, ammonia, nitrite, dissolved oxygen levels and overly fluctuating water temperatures.

Desired Water Parameters:

Hardness: 100 - 300 ppm

Dissolved Oxygen: 8 ppm @ 70°F

pH: 7.2 to 8.3

Temperature: 65° to 80°F

Salinity: .1% to .25%

Ammonia: Less than .5 ppm

Nitrite: Less than .25 ppm

ALL-IN-ONE POND PACKAGE

This convenient package combines the four most popular water treatments into one easy package.  A must have for new ponds!

Together these products condition and clear new pond water creating optimum water quality.

Five times more concentrated than previous formula!

This is one of the most comprehensive water conditioners available.  It is ideal for use in koi ponds, water gardens and aquariums.  It is nontoxic to humans, pets and aquatic life. (MSDS: Water Conditioner)

  • One of the most concentrated water conditioners on the market today
  • Removes chlorine
  • Destroys chloramines
  • Detoxifies heavy metals

Dosage Rates: Apply 1 fl. oz. per 1,000 gallons of pond water to remove 1 ppm chlorine.  Apply 1 fl. oz. per 500 gallons to remove high concentrations of heavy metals from well or city water.

WATER CLARIFIER - New Formlua!

This product will quickly clear up murky water caused by floating organic and inorganic particles in koi ponds, water gardens and aquariums.  It works by pulling these floating particles together and settling them to the bottom.

Food grade formula.  Best when used with EasyPro Pond Bacteria.

Dosage: One fl. oz. per 1,000 gallons of pond water. (MSDS: Water Clarifier)

PH DOWN / PH UP

Many factors effect the waters pH such as fish waste, excess food and decaying plants.  To determine whether or not to change pH always track the pH over several days by measuring pH morning, noon and night.  Failure to determine the natural fluctuations in your ponds pH may have a negative result.  Most pond readings fluctuate widely and naturally over a 24 hour period.  Compatible with most water conditioners and antibiotics.  (MSDS: pH Down , pH Up)

Dosage: One fl. oz. per 600 gallons of water.

BLUE POND DYE

EasyPro's premium pond dye will help filter out sunlight as well as give pond water a pleasing "natural blue" appearance.  Dye will not stain or harm fish, plants or other wildlife once dispersed in water.

  • Will not affect bacteria action or algae controls.
  • Concentrated formula - use one ounce per 1,000 gallons of water!
  • Go to Large Pond Treatments for super concentrated quarts for larger applications.

DEFOAMER - New Formlua!

Now five times more concentrated than before!

Foam is a common problem in many water features.  Excess protein in the water leads to bubbles being formed by splashing water.  EasyPro defoamer is a silicone based product that prevents foam bubbles from forming and will instantly remove surface foam that is present when added to your pond.  Foam is not only unsightly but also increases the oxygen demand on the pond. (MSDS: Defoamer)

Safe with all types of fish and plants.  Defoamer is most commonly used on live hauling trucks but can be used in any fresh or salt water system where foam can build up due to splashing water.

POND SALT

• Use 1-2 lbs. per 100 gallons of pond water under normal conditions
• Use 3 lbs. per 100 gallons when treating for disease

  • 99% pure — made from evaporated seawater
  • Reduces fish stress
  • Additional electrolytes
  • Improves disease recovery
  • Enhances fish's natural slime coating
  • Superior to table salt (sodium chloride) for maximum effectiveness

PREMIUM ACTIVATED CARBON

Activated carbon has long been used for filtration media when super clean water is desired. Carbon has the natural ability to absorb high amounts of organic solids. Carbon will also absorb medications used on fish.  Activated carbon has been shown to have the ability to remove tannins that cause "tea-colored" water.  Use approximately 1½ cupfuls for every 100 gallons of pond water. Place in mesh bag and set in moving water. In a pond, skimmer or Aquafalls is a good location. Replace carbon every four to five weeks as needed.  Use with one of our Media Bags for easier handling.

ZEOLITE

Use Zeolite to remove harmful ammonia from water gardens, fish tanks, fish hauling trucks, etc. Ammonia is the byproduct of fish waste, and at high levels is toxic to fish.  Zeolite is like a sponge, absorbing harmful ammonia before it can cause fish loss. Zeolite can be cleaned by dipping in salt water and re-used again. One pound of Zeolite will remove approximately 3 ppm ammonia from 100 gallons of water.  Use with one of our Media Bags for easier handling.
