Product Description

Remove chlorine & chloramines from tap water & detoxify ammonia, continually produced in the pond, by waste matter. Locks up ammonia, converting it into a form that not only is nontoxic to aquatic life, but serves as a source of nutrition for nitrifying bacteria in the biological filter. Eliminates ammonia stress and promotes healthy gill function of pond fish.

Purpose And Benefits:

Koi and goldfish excrete ammonia from their gills. Urine and solid fish waste break down into ammonia. Decaying plants and algae also release ammonia into the pond. Uneaten fish food will also decompose and release ammonia into the pond. Ammonia is toxic to fish. Chronic exposure to low levels of ammonia will damage the gill tissue. This prevents normal gas exchange across the gills. Fish will become weak and susceptible to a variety of diseases. High levels of ammonia will result in rapid fish loss.

It is impossible to see or smell ammonia in pond water. The only way to know if ammonia is present in the pond is with an ammonia test kit.
