Product Information
Full details
Nishikoi Clear Waters is designed for pond owners struggling with persistent green water caused by single-celled algae blooms that bypass standard filtration. By acting as a potent flocculant, this treatment binds microscopic algae into larger particles that can be trapped by filters or vacuumed from the pond floor, offering a fast-acting and safe solution for fish and wildlife; however, its effectiveness is strictly dependent on the pond's carbonate hardness (KH) being at least 6DH, necessitating a potential pre-treatment test.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is Nishikoi Clear Waters safe for my koi?
Yes, the formula is specifically designed to be harmless to fish and other pond life.
What is the minimum KH required?
The pond water must have a carbonate hardness (KH) of at least 6DH for the flocculant to work effectively.
Do I really need to turn off my UV clarifier?
Yes, the UV light can damage the flocculant properties of the treatment, so it must be turned off for one week.
Can I use this with carbon filter media?
No, you must remove all chemical filter media like carbon or zeolite before applying the treatment.
How long does the treatment take to work?
It is a fast-acting formula, but you should allow a full week for the algae particles to clump and be removed by your filtration system.
Troubleshooting
Water remains green after treatment
Check that the pond KH is at least 6DH and verify that the UV clarifier was switched off for the full seven-day duration.
The treatment had no effect
Ensure all chemical filter media such as carbon or zeolite were removed before application as they pull the active ingredients from the water.
Pond water looks cloudy initially
This is normal as the algae clumps together; ensure your filter is running to capture the particles and perform a filter clean if the flow rate drops.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your pond for treatment, remove any carbon or zeolite from your filtration system, as these will absorb the treatment and render it ineffective. Ensure your pond pump remains running to circulate the product throughout the water column. After one week, you may resume normal filter operation and reactivate your UV clarifier. Keep the bottle stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and always ensure the cap is tightened securely after use to maintain product potency.
