Fish excrete ammonia, which can be toxic at very low levels. When bacteria cycle, it means they successfully oxidize ammonia (NH3) to nitrite (NO2), then to relatively non-toxic nitrate (NO3). Other bacteria can then convert nitrate into nitrogen gas in a process called denitrification. Use of Biological Pond Clarifier for Spring Prep prevents build-up of toxic ammonia and nitrite, making your pond a healthy place for fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the summer proceeds, Biological Pond Clarifier serves its main function: maintaining your pond's beauty and clarity.

The table below gives the dose in both gallons and cubic feet.

The bacteria in Biological Pond Clarifier consist of two main classes, chemolithotrophic and heterotrophic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first class, called nitrifying bacteria, oxidize ammonia (NH3) to nitrite (NO2), then to nitrate (NO3). These bacteria also consume large amounts of phosphate. These bacteria are chemolithotrophic. This class of bacteria requires an aerobic zone (meaning a zone with sufficient dissolved oxygen).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second class of bacteria in UltraClear Biological Pond Clarifier digest organic sediment and dissolved organic carbon. Plus, these bacteria convert nitrate into completely non-toxic nitrogen gas. These bacteria are heterotrophic. This class of bacteria is also facultative, meaning that they function in an aerobic or anaerobic zone. This is important since many ponds have anaerobic zones where organic sludge builds-up and the dissolved oxygen level is no significant. By converting ammonia to nitrite then nitrate, converting nitrate to nitrogen gas, and rapidly consuming phosphate, UltraClear Biological Pond Clarifier reduces specific sources of nutrients that promote undesirable clarity problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDOES ULTRA CLEAR NEED REFRIGERATION?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Simply store UltraClear at room temperature.

For Spring Prep, begin application as soon as spring weather begins, and the average daytime temperature is 50 F or above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe General Pond Maintenance dose should just follow Spring Prep. The main purpose of General Pond Maintenance is to optimize the beauty and clarity of the pond, and to prevent common pond problems. Begin this program before you develop problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOf course, pond problems often begin suddenly, and with little warning. Or, unusually high temperatures or sunlight intensity may cause problems regardless of your best efforts. In such cases, begin the Problem Pond dose immediately. Generally one to four weeks of Problem Pond dosing will be enough to restore the pond to balance. At that time, simply revert to the General Maintenance Dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is always better to apply UltraClear Biological Pond Clarifier before a problem starts. In regions with warm weather all year, apply the Biological Pond Clarifier all year long to maintain pond clarity. In seasonal climates, begin application once the average daytime temperature exceeds 50 degrees F and the temperature is rising. Stop treatment when the weather turns cold at the end of the season. This is an ideal point to apply the Fall Clean-Up dose of UltraClear Sludge Digester.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWILL ULTRACLEAR BIOLOGICAL POND CLARIFIER HARM FISH OR WILDLIFE?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNO! UltraClear Biological Pond Clarifier is not only safe for fish and wildlife, but is actually beneficial! Commercial fish farmers have used UltraClear Biological Pond Clarifier for over ten years. Fish excrete ammonia, which when confined to a small pond, is toxic to fish. The UC Biological Pond Clarifier rapidly removes ammonia and nitrite, improving fish health dramatically. The Biological Pond Clarifier also digests organic material such as droppings from fish and wildlife.

Through flocculation, pond particles become large enough to settle by gravity to the bottom of the pond (where they can be vacuumed away) or easily filtered. Flocculant also removes phosphates from pond water. UltraClear Flocculant works in just hours, compared to UltraClear Biological Pond Clarifier, which will take days to weeks to show a satisfactory result. However, any chemical clarifier, including UltraClear Flocculant, will remove beneficial bacteria along with other pond particles. Therefore, we recommend application of UltraClear Biological Pond Clarifier after use of any chemical clarifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHOW DOES ULTRACLEAR FLOCCULANT WORK?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoor clarity results from suspended and colloidal materials in the pond water. Examples of suspended material are fine clay or silt particles that do not settle, free-swimming algae or other microorganisms, and tiny bits of decaying organic matter. These materials are so small that they remain suspended and do not settle to the bottom. Colloidal materials are smaller yet and stay in suspension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlocculant is a polymer product with the ability to clump small particles together. When these materials are clumped together by the action of Flocculant, they become larger and heavier. If you add enough of the product, the large particles will actually sink to the bottom of the pond where they can be vacuumed away. Or, with lesser product doses, the clumping is less than with a heavier dose, but still enough to allow effective removal through filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the product is applied, the resulting clumps of previously suspended or colloidal material can be vacuumed from the bottom of the pond or filtered away. Either way, the result is healthy, clear pond water within 24 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO APPLY FLOCCULANT?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two things to take into account when dosing UltraClear Flocculant. The first is how much to use, and the second is when and how to apply the product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetermining how much to dose is very simple. Use 2 ounces of Flocculant for every 1,000 gallons of pond volume (or about 1 teaspoon for every 100 gallons of pond volume).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo understand the best time and method for dosing the product, please read the following discussion of dissolved oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and pH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll ponds have some phytoplankton algae. These algae cause significant swings in O2, CO2, and pH. Algae produce oxygen during photosynthesis, which requires sunlight. Dissolved oxygen concentration reaches its highest levels in late afternoon. While O2 is present, the biological flora in the pond will consume CO2. Therefore, while O2 is highest in late afternoon, CO2 is lowest. At night, in contrast, the respirating organisms release CO2. This means that the CO2 concentration increases throughout the night, and peaks around sunrise. Finally, pH of the pond swings in a daily cycle based on the amount of sunlight. For a given pond, the pH is relatively low in the evening, and increases during the daylight hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Flocculant will work regardless of the time of day it is applied, best results are obtained when the product is applied in early evening. Allow the product to work overnight. The next day, after at least 8 hours have elapsed since application, use a filter to remove large clumps that have formed, or a vacuum to remove clumps that have sunk to the pond bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo work effectively, the product must be well distributed throughout the pond. You can dilute the product into a volume of pond water and spread it around the pond. Or you can add the product near a pump inlet or aerator that will help distribute it. As each pond is different, some individual judgment must be used. But mechanical agitation from a pump or aerator will not hurt the product in any way. Therefore, take advantage of any natural mixing available in the pond to make sure that it is mixed throughout the pond as best as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs stated previously, depending on the size of the clumps that result from product use, filtering or vacuuming can be used to remove the clumps from the water. However, if the clumps have fallen to the bottom of the pond and the clarity is satisfactory, it is not absolutely necessary to vacuum away the settled clumps. However, the settled clumps are a source of future problems, as they will eventually degrade, cause anaerobic conditions, and a cause a return of poor water clarity. We recommend vacuuming the settled clumps from the pond bottom whenever it is practical after application of Flocculant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWHAT ARE THE SAFETY ISSUES TO BE CONCERNED WITH?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs long as the product is used as directed, it will not harm fish, plants, or wildlife. However, do not use in ponds with fish intended for human consumption. Do not use more than the recommended dose, or more often than the recommended frequency. As with all household chemicals, store securely away from children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWHAT INFLUENCE DOES FLOCCULANT HAVE ON DESIRABLE BACTERIA\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll chemical flocculants, including Flocculant, will cause clumping of desirable bacteria along with suspended solids, phosphates and colloids. Therefore, use of any flocculant will remove some beneficial bacteria from the pond. We recommend using UltraClear Biological Pond Clarifier as a follow up to application of any flocculant. Apply UltraClear immediately after filtering or vacuuming. Use the 'start-up' UltraClear dose after applying any flocculant, then revert to the maintenance dose to keep your pond beautiful, clear, and healthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"table-wrapper\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"table-wrapper\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"table-wrapper\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"UltraClear®","offers":[{"title":"12 Oz","offer_id":43986642239728,"sku":"41225","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"32 Oz","offer_id":43986642272496,"sku":"41230","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":43986642305264,"sku":"41235","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0482\/6447\/8880\/files\/ultraclear-r-pond-flocculant-instant-clarifier-water-treatments-168.jpg?v=1774816816"},{"product_id":"ultraclear-dechlorinator","title":"UltraClear® Dechlorinator","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRemoves various chemicals from \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etap and well water that are \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eunhealthy for pond and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eaquarium environments.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eULTRACLEAR DECHLORINATOR\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTap water and well water often contain various chemicals that are unhealthy for pond and aquarium environments.

The product contains sodium thiosulfate, which is a well-known, safe chemical that neutralizes chlorine and chloramines. Polyvinylpyrrolidones are polymers that promote the slime coat that protects the gills of fish. The concentration is carefully titrated to be just enough to give the needed protection, although much higher doses are not dangerous. Organic chelating compounds are included in Dechlorinator because of their ability to detoxify heavy metals. Finally, the proprietary reducing agents contained in Ultra Clear Dechlorinator reduce long-term nitrate build up. While nitrate itself is generally not toxic, higher levels of nitrate can cause problems, plus they contribute to severe algae blooms. Therefore, regular use of Ultra Clear Dechlorinator whenever you add water to a pond or aquarium gives protection to the aquatic environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWHAT APPLICATIONS ARE TYPICAL FOR USE OF ULTRACLEAR DECHLORINATOR?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltraClear Dechlorinator is recommended for use in outdoor ponds and in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums.

The first, UltraClear Biological Pond Clarifier, is primarily for general pond clarity and gradually minimizes sludge build up. Next, UltraClear Sludge Digester removes even severe sludge build up. The third is UltraClear SST, which is specifically formulated for severe clarity and suspended solids problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHOW DOES ULTRACLEAR SST WORK?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMats of long filaments and scum that float on the pond surface are the source of pond clarity problems. These mats often break apart quite easily, which means that they may sometimes be difficult to remove with a net. Break-up and decay also causes undesirable suspended solids that can't be easily removed from the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to the UltraClear Biological Pond Clarifier and UltraClear Sludge Digester products, UltraClear SST is super enriched with bacillus bacteria. UltraClear SST contains the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBacillus amyloliquefaciens. Degrades starches and carbohydrates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBacillus subtilis.

Digests cellulose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of these bacteria is recognized as safe, non-toxic, non-pathogenic bacteria. Each of these bacteria will regularly be found in any pond. However, they will not normally be present in numbers sufficient to improve the clarity in your pond. These bacteria work together to consume nutrients that are the source of undesirable growth that contributes to the clarity problem. Clarity generally improves within 2 to 3 weeks of using Ultra Clear SST. Regular monthly use provides excellent control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWHY IS ULTRA CLEAR SST BETTER THAN COMPETING PRODUCTS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompeting products are generally in a freeze-dried form. Freeze drying actually kills or inactivates many of the desirable bacteria. In fact, 50% or more of desirable bacteria are rendered inactive by the freeze-drying process. Plus, when using a freeze-dried product, you must dissolve the powder in warm water and attempt to reactivate the product before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn contrast, UltraClear provides a liquid formulation. Virtually 100% of the bacteria in the liquid-based UltraClear SST remain viable and active for one full year after purchase. UltraClear SST does not require a separate reactivation stage, so using it saves time and energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltraClear uses the strictest quality tests on every batch to ensure that the Ultra Clear SST has the highest potency available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHOW SAFE IS ULTRA CLEAR SST\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bacterial species included in UltraClear SST are recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) as Biosafety Level 1 bacteria.

Generally, use 1 ounce for every 150 gallons of pond water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe required frequency of product dosing will vary between once per week to once per month in most cases. If you are simply trying to prevent a problem that seems to occur each year, start dosing UltraClear SST before you have a problem, and repeat once a month during those months when you have normally experienced blooms.or growth in your pond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are treating an existing problem, dose once a week until the problem is solved, then revert to dosing monthly or as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor severe problems, dose daily until the pond shows improvement. That will mean that you observe a brownish look associated with decay. At this time, switch to once a week dosing. Then continue until the problem is solved, at which time you may revert to the standard monthly doses, or as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou cannot harm your pond by overdosing. But remember that all biological solutions take more time to show results than would chemical techniques. By following the above dosage guidelines, you will achieve the best mix of rapid results without wasting product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, mix the required dose of UltraClear SST into a gallon of pond water, shake or mix well, then distribute the mixture around the pond.

ELIMINATE SEDIMENT FROM FISH \u0026amp; ANIMAL WASTE, DECAYED LEAVES AND GRASS, AND ELIMINATE ORGANIC DECAY FROM DEAD FISH \u0026amp; WILDLIFE. PREVENT OXYGEN DEPLETION FROM UNHEALTHY POND SLUDGE DURING THE SPRING \u0026amp; SUMMER.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePond Sludge accumulation occurs for a variety of reasons. Leaves and grass clippings can be blown into the pond. Droppings from animals such as fish, ducks, or geese can sometimes be significant. Even over-feeding the fish in the pond can promote sludge accumulation. In many ponds, the largest contributor to pond sludge (or muck build-up) build up is dead algae. Every year, algae populations increase to at least some extent during the warm sunny months. These algae die off, and then become part of the pond sludge accumulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePond 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond, pond sludge build-up is the main cause of unpleasant 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThird, pond sludge build-up may deplete oxygen reserves, particularly during warm weather. The worse the build-up of pond sludge or muck, the worse the oxygen depletion. Low oxygen levels can be stressful or even fatal to fish or other wildlife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFourth, as pond sludge (or muck) 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, the larger and deeper the pond, the more difficult it is to mechanically remove the pond sludge build-up. But there is a simple way to control sludge build up. Dose the pond as described below with UltraClear Sludge Digester. Routine dosing maximizes your results for reducing muck that accumulates as pond sludge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHOW DOES ULTRA CLEAR SLUDGE DIGESTER WORK\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltraClear Sludge Digester contains a variety of bacteria that digest sludge. It includes a class of bacteria that is facultative that works in an aerobic or anaerobic zone. First, it must be emphasized that Sludge Digester (or any biological product) is capable of digesting organic sludge, but not inorganic material such as sand, silt, or clay. Organic sludge refers to sludge of biological origin, such as leaves, grass, animal droppings, and dead algae.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome natural bacteria have the ability to vigorously attack the basic building blocks of organic sludge, such as proteins, starches, fats, and cellulose. In fact, UltraClear Sludge Digester is super-enriched with these types of bacteria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSludge Digester is used in two main ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. Season-long application designed to prevent excess sludge build-up\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2. Fall Clean-Up to thoroughly clean the pond and provide a fresh start for the next pond season. Preventing muck build-up year round helps keep a healthier pond. UltraClear Sludge Digester is effective in cold water down to 40 degrees F.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is very important to understand the difference between each application type, and to use the product as directed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDOSAGE FOR GENERAL POND MAINTENANCE (MINIMIZING SLUDGE BUILD-UP)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can begin maintenance treatment at any time. But for the most protection, begin treatment in the spring, and continue through the beginning of fall. If you reside in a year-round warm region, dose all year long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDose the pond with one ounce of Sludge Digester for every 1000 gallons of water (note: 1000 gallons = 135 cubic feet). Repeat this dose at least once a month, and as often as once a week. But do not dose sludge digester more often than once a week during the pond season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, dilute the recommended Sludge Digester dose into a gallon of pond water. Briefly mix, then dose the gallon of product diluted in water around the pond. If there are known areas of sludge accumulation, or areas where there are known odor problems, concentrate more of the dose there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy is it important not to dose more frequently than once per week? The answer is that while the maintenance dose is completely safe and appropriate for any pond, heavier doses during the pond season may actually cause problems. Warm water holds less oxygen than cooler water. During peak summer temperatures, oxygen levels are lower than during the fall. Normal maintenance use will digest sludge slowly but steadily. Any time there is sludge digestion, some pond oxygen will be consumed or depleted. If you overdose the product, or significantly exceed the maintenance dose, you may significantly deplete oxygen in the pond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso, when sludge is digested too fast, nitrogen and phosphorous are released. These nutrients may cause algae blooms, particularly during intense sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sludge Digester maintenance dose prevents excessive sludge build-up, but will not deplete oxygen levels or release excess nutrients. Be sure to follow maintenance dose guidelines (one ounce for every 1000 gallons, at least once a month, but NOT more than once a week).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDOSAGE FOR FALL CLEAN-UP\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the pond season is over and fall is at hand, temperatures and sunlight intensity are reduced. At this time, much heavier Sludge Digester application will clean your pond and give you a fresh start for the next season - without causing oxygen depletion or an algae bloom. Cooler water holds oxygen much better than warmer water. And of course, algae blooms are much less a problem in the fall than during the peak of the summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDose the pond with one ounce for every 1000 gallons of water, daily, for 4 to 7 consecutive days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, dilute the recommended Sludge Digester dose into a gallon of pond water. Briefly mix, then dose the gallon of product diluted in water around the pond. If there are known areas of sludge accumulation, or areas where there are known odor problems, concentrate more of the dose there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWHY IS ULTRACLEAR SLUDGE DIGESTER BETTER THAN COMPETING PRODUCTS?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSludge Digester is strong enough to prevent excess build-up, but gentle enough to avoid oxygen depletion or nutrient release during the sensitive, peak summer season. Then, when fall arrives (with reduced temperatures and sunlight intensity), Sludge Digester is used aggressively to thoroughly clean the pond without fear of oxygen depletion or nutrient release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany pond owners use both our Biological Pond Clarifier and Sludge Digester at the same time. When using both products as directed, optimum results are achieved. Your pond remains crystal clear, and bottom sludge is kept to a minimum. And of course, one product or the other can be used individually, based on your specific pond conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost competing products are formulated for both pond clarification and sludge digestion at the same time. Unfortunately, these are often competing purposes that are not well-served with a single formulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor example, during the peak of summer, it might be desirable to add more product in hopes of improving pond clarity. But this may cause problems if the product is also designed for sludge digestion. UltraClear offers separate products to prevent this problem (Biological Pond Clarifier for pond clarity and beauty, plus Sludge Digester for minimizing build-up and fall clean-up).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHOW SAFE IS ULTRACLEAR SLUDGE DIGESTER?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bacteria included in UltraClear Sludge Digester are recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) as Biosafety Level 1 bacteria.

There is much literature on the subject of potassium permanganate application that can be readily found on the internet. For more detailed information, such as specific dosages for specific applications, it is recommended that such literature is consulted.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePotassium Permanganate, KMnO4, is a caustic alkali that dissociates into the permanganate ion (MnO4-) and Manganese Dioxide (MnO2). Elemental Oxygen is also liberated in the dissociation. It is very reactive and will readily react with organic material. Potassium Permanganate is a powerful oxidizer. The permanganate ion kills parasites by destroying their cell walls through oxidation. Although, since it is so corrosive to organic tissue, potassium permanganate will expend its oxidative energy on available organic (algae, detritus, dissolved organic compounds, ect) material first rather than parasites or bacteria. Levels of particulate organic matter vary pond to pond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe parasites that Potassium Permanganate is effective against include protozoan parasites Trichodina, Costia, and Chilodonella. It also treats flukes Gyrodactylus, and Dactylogyrus. Potassium Permanganate can also be used in the treatment of bacterial gill disease and bacterial skin ulcers in fish. Although, it should be noted that repeated treatment can lead to cumulative gill damage. Harmful\/lethal doses are only slightly higher than therapeutic doses of potassium permanganate, so dosages must be carefully followed when treating fish with this chemical or fish could die. Toxicity increases as pH increases. Overdosing will cause coagulative necrosis. The tips of the fish’s fins will turn white. It should be known that Potassium Permanganate has been shown to kill nitrifying bacteria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePotassium Permanganate also clarifies water by oxidizing the organic material (nitrogenous waste) of the system. This reduces a system’s biological oxygen demand. Upon treatment, water will turn a shade of pink. The pink should fade to a brown after anywhere from 10-24 hours. This indicates that the Potassium Permanganate has exhausted its oxidative effect, and treatment is done. Once the water has turned amber\/brown, it is safe to plants. To revert the color back to clear, hydrogen peroxide must be added in proportionate amounts. Specific information on how much hydrogen peroxide to add can be found readily on the internet. Treatment with potassium permanganate is then not possible for several days after addition of hydrogen peroxide. This is important. It should also be noted that addition of hydrogen peroxide to an aqueous system will increase the system’s dissolved oxygen levels. If your water is an opaque brown at the conclusion of a Potassium Permanganate treatment, decolorize at once with hydrogen pperoxide- it should not be opaque. If you try to overdose with Potassium Permanganate to beat a previous day’s hydroen peroxide, it will not work and fish could be killed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePotassium Permanganate is a serious caustic irritant in dry form. It is corrosive to tissue such as eyes, due to its caustic nature. Wear gloves when handling potassium permanganate or a potassium permanganate solution. It will readily stain skin brown and may cause irritation. Do not mix Potassium Permanganate with formalin; toxic formaldehyde will be formed. If applied in proper dosages, water undergoing Potassium Permanganate treatment is not toxic to dogs or other pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePotassium Permanganate is also effective in the detoxification of applied toxins. When a pesticide (such as rotenone) is applied to a body of water Potassium Permanganate can be added to break down the leftover chemical rather than wait out the effective period of the compound. This can save days, as the applied toxins would generally take a while to flush out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"UltraClear®","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43986931515632,"sku":"63000","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0482\/6447\/8880\/files\/ultraclear-r-potassium-permanganate-pond-water-treatments-330.jpg?v=1774816240"},{"product_id":"ultraclear-buffer-block","title":"UltraClear® Buffer Block","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStabilizes pH, increases water hardness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eULTRACLEAR BUFFER BLOCK PH STABILIZER.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UltraClear Buffer Block will stabilize the pH and increase water hardness and alkalinity in your pond.

Another important parameter is pH, which is defined as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pond or aquarium water may be considered acidic, neutral, or basic. In general terms, acidic means that the pH is below 7.0, neutral means that the pH is close to 7.0, and basic means that the pH is greater than 7.0.

When just starting a pond or tank, the source water (tap water or well water) may be at a pH that is significantly different than optimal. Also, most ponds and aquariums are closed systems. That means that what happens in the system stays within the system. And because of this, the pH may begin to drift away from healthy levels as time goes on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether one is starting a new system or maintaining the pH in an existing system, the easiest, safest way to control pH is with 'pH Higher' or 'pH Lower' from Ultra Clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: Every pond or aquarium is unique with respect to the species of animals and plants that reside within. Please consult your aquatic specialist (store owner, veterinarian, etc) to determine the pH that is best for your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 'PH HIGHER' AND 'PH LOWER'?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003epH is a measure of the acidity of basicity of a pond. The value for pH can range from 1 to 14. Neutral pH is 7.0, acidic pH is below 7.0, and basic pH is above 7.0. Various fish and plants have optimum or required pH values. Therefore, the pond pH should be maintained at a given pH in order to keep your particular fish and plants healthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn order to raise the pH of a system, use UltraClear pH Higher. To lower the pH of a system, use UltraClear pH Lower. Both pH Higher and pH Lower are available in quart bottles and gallons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHOW DO THE ULTRA CLEAR PH PRODUCTS DIFFER FROM COMPETING PRODUCTS?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are three indicators of product performance. They are:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePersistence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBy strength\u003c\/b\u003e, we refer to the change in pH that you can achieve by adding a given amount of product to a given amount of water. For example, assume that one adds 5 ounces of product to a 1000-gallon pond. A strong product might raise or lower the pH of the pond by 0.1 to 0.2 units. A weaker product would change the pH less than this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePersistence refers to the tendency of the pH to stay the same after it is changed through addition of pH Higher or pH Lower. If persistence is poor, you may have to reapply the product more frequently. If persistence is good, the pH will be more stable, which is healthier for your aquatic system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen one handles the pH products, safety can be a concern. Some pH products have severe warning labels because they are composed of very dangerous acids and bases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA quality product will have a good combination of strength, persistence, and safety. This is where Ultra Clear pH products are truly superior. They are virtually as strong as anything on the market. That means that the cost of maintaining your pH will be quite low with Ultra Clear. Ultra Clear products also contain buffers. The role of buffers is to increase the persistence of the product. Because Ultra Clear contains buffers, the pH is more stable than with other products, meaning that the work required using the product and the cost of doing so are both reduced. Finally, unlike other products that are extremely dangerous, Ultra Clear is strong yet safer than the competition. While care must still be used when using the product, the risk of burns or other injury is vastly reduced with Ultra Clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unique blend of strength, persistence, and safety make Ultra Clear pH products your best choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDOSAGE CONSIDERATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor both pH Higher and pH Lower, the recommended dose rate is 5 ounces per 1000 gallons. Whenever adding these products to a pond, you should first dilute the recommended dose into a gallon or more of water. Then spread the dose around the pond, and attempt to distribute it as evenly as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter initial product application, allow 8 to 24 hours to pass, and then re-test the pH. If it is at the desired level, no further addition is needed. If the pH is higher or lower than desired, add product again. In most cases, when a second or third dose proves necessary, use a reduced dose for the follow up application. That means that for the first dose, use 5 ounces per 1000 gallons. And for second or third doses, use 2 or 3 ounces per 1000 gallons. This routine will help avoid over or under-shooting the target pH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: We recommend that you not change the pH by any more than about 0.2 units in any single dose. A change in pH can be a shock to fish. They will tolerate small pH changes (0.2 units or less), but may suffer stress if the changes are more rapid. This means that if your pH is significantly different than your target pH, it may take several days and repeated doses to reach the target pH. Remember, each pond is unique with its specific mix of animals and plants. Always consult your aquatic specialist (store owner, veterinarian, etc.) for specific recommendations as to the best pH for your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e32 ounce and 1 gallon options\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UltraClear®","offers":[{"title":"32 oz","offer_id":43987160203504,"sku":"41180","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":43987160236272,"sku":"41185","price":66.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0482\/6447\/8880\/files\/ultraclear-r-ph-higher-pond-water-treatments-907.jpg?v=1774816237"},{"product_id":"ultraclear-ph-lower","title":"UltraClear® pH Lower","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigned to lower the pH in aquatic systems. pH levels less than seven are considered acidic, while those with a pH greater than seven are considered basic (alkaline). pH 7 is considered neutral water.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eULTRACLEAR PH LOWER\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepending on the types of fish and plants that you keep in ponds or aquariums, certain environmental parameters can be very important to the animal or plant health.

And because of this, the pH may begin to drift away from healthy levels as time goes on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether one is starting a new system or maintaining the pH in an existing system, the easiest, safest way to control pH is with 'pH Higher' or 'pH Lower' from Ultra Clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: Every pond or aquarium is unique with respect to the species of animals and plants that reside within. Please consult your aquatic specialist (store owner, veterinarian, etc) to determine the pH that is best for your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 'PH HIGHER' AND 'PH LOWER'?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003epH is a measure of the acidity of basicity of a pond. The value for pH can range from 1 to 14. Neutral pH is 7.0, acidic pH is below 7.0, and basic pH is above 7.0. Various fish and plants have optimum or required pH values. Therefore, the pond pH should be maintained at a given pH in order to keep your particular fish and plants healthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn order to raise the pH of a system, use UltraClear pH Higher. To lower the pH of a system, use UltraClear pH Lower. Both pH Higher and pH Lower are available in quart bottles and gallons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow Do the Ultra Clear pH Products Differ from Competing Products?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are three indicators of product performance. They are:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePersistence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBy strength\u003c\/b\u003e, we refer to the change in pH that you can achieve by adding a given amount of product to a given amount of water. For example, assume that one adds 5 ounces of product to a 1000-gallon pond. A strong product might raise or lower the pH of the pond by 0.1 to 0.2 units. A weaker product would change the pH less than this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePersistence refers to the tendency of the pH to stay the same after it is changed through addition of pH Higher or pH Lower. If persistence is poor, you may have to reapply the product more frequently. If persistence is good, the pH will be more stable, which is healthier for your aquatic system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen one handles the pH products, safety can be a concern. Some pH products have severe warning labels because they are composed of very dangerous acids and bases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA quality product will have a good combination of strength, persistence, and safety. This is where Ultra Clear pH products are truly superior. They are virtually as strong as anything on the market. That means that the cost of maintaining your pH will be quite low with Ultra Clear. Ultra Clear products also contain buffers. The role of buffers is to increase the persistence of the product. Because Ultra Clear contains buffers, the pH is more stable than with other products, meaning that the work required using the product and the cost of doing so are both reduced. Finally, unlike other products that are extremely dangerous, Ultra Clear is strong yet safer than the competition. While care must still be used when using the product, the risk of burns or other injury is vastly reduced with Ultra Clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unique blend of strength, persistence, and safety make Ultra Clear pH products your best choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDOSAGE CONSIDERATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor both pH Higher and pH Lower, the recommended dose rate is 5 ounces per 1000 gallons. Whenever adding these products to a pond, you should first dilute the recommended dose into a gallon or more of water. Then spread the dose around the pond, and attempt to distribute it as evenly as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter initial product application, allow 8 to 24 hours to pass, and then re-test the pH. If it is at the desired level, no further addition is needed. If the pH is higher or lower than desired, add product again. In most cases, when a second or third dose proves necessary, use a reduced dose for the follow up application. That means that for the first dose, use 5 ounces per 1000 gallons. And for second or third doses, use 2 or 3 ounces per 1000 gallons. This routine will help avoid over or under-shooting the target pH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: We recommend that you not change the pH by any more than about 0.2 units in any single dose. A change in pH can be a shock to fish. They will tolerate small pH changes (0.2 units or less), but may suffer stress if the changes are more rapid. This means that if your pH is significantly different than your target pH, it may take several days and repeated doses to reach the target pH. Remember, each pond is unique with its specific mix of animals and plants. Always consult your aquatic specialist (store owner, veterinarian, etc.) for specific recommendations as to the best pH for your system.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UltraClear®","offers":[{"title":"32 oz","offer_id":43987163283696,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":43987163316464,"sku":null,"price":66.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0482\/6447\/8880\/files\/ultraclear-r-ph-lower-pond-water-treatments-231.jpg?v=1774816234"},{"product_id":"ultraclear-pro-pond-lake-flocculant-instant-clarifier","title":"UltraClear® PRO Pond \u0026 Lake Flocculant - Instant Pond Clarifier","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne gallon of ProFlocculant treats 250,000 gallons of pond, lake or lagoon volume.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eULTRACLEAR PRO FLOCCULANT\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltraClear ProFlocculant is a fast acting chemical formulation for rapid clarification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltraClear ProFloculant contains long chain organic polymers that force small particles (silt, algae, clay, loose sediment, etc.) to bind or clump together.
