AquaCleanse is used to eliminate common chemicals in tapwater that are toxic to fish and other pond creatures.
These chemicals, such as chlorine, chloramines and ammonia, are in tapwater in order to make it safe for us to drink by killing bacteria, viruses and parasites.
However these same chemicals can also kill your fish which is why you need to add AquaCleanse to your tapwater before setting-up a new pond and doing routine water changes. AquaCleanse destroys the chemical bonds that form ammonia, chlorine and chloramines.
AquaCleanse has no unpleasant sulfide odors.

AquaCleanse Tapwater Detoxifier for Ponds
How to use: When doing a water change it is best to add the tapwater to a clean bucket or trash can (don’t use soap to clean the vessel). Then add the required amount of AquaCleanse, stir and it is ready for use. We strongly recommend against adding tapwater directly to the pond and then adding AquaCleanse if Koi and/or other live stock are present. Chlorine and chloramines are deadly to fish and even a short exposure can be very harmful to your aquatic pets.
New Aquaria: Newly set-up ponds typically do not have sufficient nitrifying bacteria present to handle the ammonia excreted by the fish in the water. This leads to a build-up of ammonia and, after about 2 weeks, nitrite (see biological filtration for more details) that can kill your fish. This malady is called New Tank Syndrome (NTS). While AquaCleanse can eliminate the ammonia we do not recommend continually adding AquaCleanse to your aquarium. Instead add DrTim’s Aquatics One and Only nitrifying bacteria which has been scientifically formulated to quickly eliminate NTS.
Testing your water: AquaCleanse is designed to remove 2 ppm of chlorine, 3 ppm of chloramines and 1 ppm ammonia per 10 gallons of water. If your water contains higher values of these chemicals you will have to add more AquaCleanse. To be sure you have eliminated these toxic compounds it is best to test your water with simple chlorine and ammonia test kits. The amount of chlorine, chloramines, and ammonia in your water may vary through-out the year because your municipal water authority may add more chemicals after rainy periods or in the spring when algae tends to bloom in lakes and reservoirs. Note: AquaCleanse is not compatible with older style ammonia test kits that use what is commonly referred to as Nessler reagents. If you use these reagents the test result will return a false indication of high ammonia. To properly test the ammonia in your water use test kits based on the salicylate methods or test strips.

First Defense was developed to help fish adapt to new environments by assisting the fishes’ natural immune system.
Changing the environment of a fish causes stress that robs fish of essential nutrients and can weaken their immune system. First Defense is scientifically designed to provide stress relief and support the immune system, helping fish cope with stress due to bagging and shipping from the store to your tank, water changes, new fish additions, disease treatments, and other environmental changes.
Fish are subject to many stressful events becoming comfortable in your pond. For instance, they were shipped in bags to the store and chased around the tank, netted and bagged before you took them home. Many times fish are not fed much before shipping so that their waste does not pollute the shipping bags but this can further weaken their immune system.
As with people, weakened immune system means a greater chance of the fish becoming sick with Ich or a bacterial infections. The mixture of immunostimulants and vitamins in First Defense have been demonstrated to help support the immune system of fish so they can fight off diseases.
First Defense also contains buffers to help maintain the water pH, detoxifies heavy metals and remove chlorine and chloramines.

Clear-UP Natural Water Clarifier for Ponds
Clear-UP clears cloudy white water. Clear-UP is a 100% natural water clarifier, consisting of beneficial bacteria, with the ability to 'floc' small particles from the pond water.
The result is clear water without the use the harmful chemicals contained in other water clarifiers such as alum (that contains aluminum) and polyacrylamide (a potentially toxic chemical).
Directions: Shake well before using.
Dosing: Add 5 ml (a capful) per 10 gallons of pond water. For best results spread evenly over the entire pond surface.
It is best to temporarily turn the filter off, add Clear-UP over the entire pond water surface, and wait 10-15 minutes for the flocs to form and then turn the filter back on.
In extreme cases, the water may not clear-up for 24 hours

Re-FRESH for Natural Sparkling Pond Water
Re-FRESH revitalizes old, smelly brown pond water. Re-FRESH is a potent combination of beneficial bacteria that work together to maintain clear water, clean pond surfaces and eliminate unpleasant odors.
Because the condition of every pond varies it may be necessary to add Re-FRESH more frequently (every other day) to achieve desired results.
Directions: Shake well before using.
Dosing: Add 5 ml (a capful) per 10 gallons of pond water.
Re-FRESH should be added on a weekly basis to help maintain clear, clean and sparkling pond.
Caution: Re-FRESH may be harmful to snails and shrimp. Do not overdose in ponds containing these organisms. Wait 5 to 7 days after final dosing to add these organisms.

Eco-Balance friendly Probiotic Bacteria for a Balanced Pond Environment
Probiotics for Core System Health
Research has demonstrated that friendly probiotic bacteria are key to maintaining a balanced, healthy pond environment. The normal processes in a pond upset this balance which can allow unfriendly bacteria and algae to dominate the system negatively affecting water quality and overall pond aesthetics.
Eco-Balance uses unique friendly probiotic bacteria isolated from koi ponds as a natural way to restore and maintain a balanced pond environment that promotes beneficial bacteria while helping to reduce the number of bad bacteria.
Directions for Use:
CAUTION: When using for the first time consider a half-dose as the potent bacteria in Eco-Balance may cause oxygen levels in the water to temporarily drop.
Shake well before using.
Dosing: Add 10 ml per 10 gallons of pond water.
For best results Eco-Balance should be added weekly as part of a routine pond maintenance program as this will allow the helpful probiotic bacteria to continue to block out the unfriendly bacteria.

Dosing: Add 5 ml of AquaCleanse per 10 gallons of tapwater and stir the water for 15 seconds.
AquaCleanse cannot be overdosed but adding very large amounts of AquaCleanse to your pond may lower the pH of the water if the water is poorly buffered.
