What is the shelf life of this product?

Refer to the product label for the expiration date. Store the product properly to maintain its effectiveness.

What water temperature is best for this product?

This product is most effective in temperatures above 10°C (50°F). It can still be used in cooler temperatures, but the activity of the bacteria may be slower.

Do I need to turn off my UV sterilizer when using this product?

It is generally recommended to turn off your UV sterilizer for 24-48 hours after applying the bacteria to allow it to colonize without being affected.

How do I know if the product is working?

Can I use this with other pond treatments?

It's best to check the instructions of the other treatments to be sure. Generally, this product is compatible, but always exercise caution and monitor your pond.

Troubleshooting

Cloudy water after application

This is normal initially as the bacteria colonize. Ensure proper aeration and filtration. If the cloudiness persists, check for other underlying issues.

High ammonia or nitrite levels

Check your filter's performance and ensure you've applied the correct dosage. If levels remain high, consider a partial water change and re-evaluate your pond's ecosystem.

Lack of improvement in water clarity

Check if your pond has any existing problems. Ensure proper aeration. Check for an underlying problem, like excess organic waste.
