Pond Keeper All-In-One Water Conditioner
Keeping your aquarium, pond or lake healthy requires some added nutrients
and beneficial elements to allow the healthy balance to be maintained
in the water. A healthy balance in any ecosystem requires a bit of
assistance from time to time and this is when adding a full spectrum
pond conditioner can help reverse the damaging effects that can cause
green waters, fish kills, algae or actual odors in aquariums and ponds
and lakes.
We have tested
many so-called "all-encompassing" pond treatments but have
found many lacking in performance. The Pond Keeper Liquid is one of
the most satisfying and comprehensive pond, lake and aquarium water
conditioners on the market that we have tested in the last 15 years.
People have asked us if they should be adding chlorine to a fish pond,
of they should pour bleach into the waterfall to kill algae, the old
wives tales abound when it comes to maintaining a healthy pond but
the reason we like to use Pond Keeper is that it does what it says
and in a very cost effective way! I'm like many of you who are looking
for a cheap or homemade algae killer for my pond...well I've gone
to New Mexico and back and haven't found the product that compares
to this PK Liquid water conditioner.
Of course we have all encountered such products that claim to be "water
polishers" or "water conditioners" or "water wonders"
but so much of this is marketing. In our testing we have shown that
the PK (Pond Keeper) Liquids and Dry Mixtures are performing to high
degrees. The results of regular usage of the product means you gain
complete water conditioning of your fish ponds, water gardens and
aquariums.
Pond Keeper All-In-One Water Conditioner does what would normally
take several products to accomplish. Many pond owners have heard of
products like AmQuel Plus, BactaPur N-3000 and BactaPUR XLG or Pond
Balance or Gard N' Gro, or the new kid on the block those Pond Care
Packs that seem to be getting a heavy push by internet marketers.
Some of these are excellent products and some are just repacked mixtures
with different names. Our panel of pond owners find it is easier to
add one comprehensive pond cleansing liquid than to mix, activate
and broadcast separate mixtures every week. Simplicty is the key with
the PK liquids and the results are proven.
Adding the recommended
dosages of Pond Keeper Liquid, will combat a series of typical pond
problems in fish tanks, water gardens, pond and large lakes.
.
This is one of
the most comprehensive water conditioners on the market today and

1.
Removes chlorine and destroys chloramines
Chlorine and ponds.The experimental use
of chlorine began in the 1890's to combat water-borne diseases such
as cholera and typhoid. It quickly gained widespread acceptance
because of its low cost and high efficiency in killing just about
everything hazardous in water. The problem with chlorine is that
it is a known toxin and the implications of drinking this toxin
over the long-term (i.e. your lifetime) is highly uncertain. Chlorine
disinfection of water works by the formation of Hypochlorous and
Hydrochloric acid. It is an extremely reactive substance and may
also chemically bond with other substances in water, depending on
the conditions to form further toxins. For example, it is known
that chlorine reacts with naturally occurring phenols in water (which
are naturally produced by plant life in water) to form Chlorophenols
which are highly toxic to all aquatic life.
Chloramines and ponds Chloramines Make Tap Water Safer for People
but not for Fish. Most of the tap water, coming from local water
districts and running out of most people's faucets in the U.S.,
contains chloramines. In fact most tap water has contained chloramines
for several years, so chloramines are not really new. Chloramines
are a chemical combination of chlorine and ammonia. Before chloramines
were used, most tap water contained chlorine, which killed most
of the pathogens in the water and made tap water safe to drink.
Without question killing pathogens in tap water by adding chlorine
or chloramine improves the safety of the tap water for most of the
people most of the time. But the chlorine apparently reacts with
organic matter in the water to form chlorinated-hydrocarbons, which
are thought to cause cancer, and epidemiological evidence confirmed
higher cancer rates in people in areas with chlorine in their tap
water. Chloramines safer, so chlorine was replaced by chloramines
in tap water. Chlorine is relatively easy to neutralize, but chloramines
are not. So chloramines have posed a greater threat to fish.
2.
Detoxifies heavy metals
Water added to ponds may contain ferrous bicarbonate,
detected by a brown precipitate that forms when neutral or alkaline
water is aerated. Besides being mildly irritating to the fish, ferrous
bicarbonate stains equipment and causes water to become cloudy.
E.D.T.A. (Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acidic Acid) can be used to chelate
out any heavy metals such as iron or copper from the water. To make
a stock solution with EDTA, use 1 teaspoon and mix it with 4 ounces
of distilled water. Shake well. Then use 2 drops of this stock solution
per gallon of pond water. EDTA will lower your pH, so care should
be used when adding it to the pond. We suggest taking a pail of
water out of the pond, check the pH and then add 2 drops of EDTA
per gallon of pail water. Mix the water well and then test the pH
once again. The maximum amount per day that the pH may be dropped
is 0.2, any more can pH shock the fish, make the fish stressed and
cause a disease outbreak in the pond.
3. Adds essential
electrolytes
Adding essential electrolytes can help provide all the essential
elements fish need to stay healthy and vibrant. Can also help to reduce
algae blooms when combined with bacteria, aeration and proper pond
design.
4. Replaces
skin slime coat
The product, when added as prescribed, acts as a liquid bandage,
to protect and heal damaged fish tissue. Goldfish and koi secrete
a mucoprotein protective slime coating that covers the scales and
skin. This slime coat acts as a defense against invasion by bacterial,
parasitic and fungal pathogens. Essential electrolytes necessary for
osmoregulation are lost through breaks that may occur in the skin
and slime coat, causing dangerous stress. Open wounds and abrasions
caused by handling, netting, and breeding behavior are readily attacked
by disease organisms, resulting in further stress and disease but
using PK Liquid forms a synthetic slime coating on the skin of fish,
replacing the natural slime coat and easing stress.
5. Reduces fish stress
Our fish are often are babies! We take care of themand nurture
them. Reducing stres is key to maintaining a healthy fish population
in any sized pond wether it is 500 gallomns or 5000 gallons! Swim
my little buddies...and Prosper!
6.
Removes ammonia and nitrites
If pond water ammonia is not dealt with
in your pond, it can prove deadly for your fish. Even slightly elevated
levels of ammonia will distress your fish because it leaves them open
to infection and disease. Unhealthy levels of ammonia are caused by
fish overpopulation and excess detritus, which acn becomprised of
fish waste decaying plants. High ammonia levels must be treated immediately
to safeguard the life of your pond. If your high ammonia levels remain
untreated, nitrites will form in the water.
Nitrites are especially toxic for fish. While the beneficial
bacteria and enzymes residing in the pond water will eventually turn
these nitrites into benign nitrates, it is often not in time to save
the pond's fish. Consequently, nitrites must be dealt with - but dealing
with the ammonia is first and foremost to guard against a nitrite
problem. Nitrates are a form of nitrogen; they are not harmful to
fish and are basically food for your pond's plants. In other words,
they are good things. But, an excess of nitrates cannot always be
safely absorbed by the ponds plant life. In such cases, an over-abundance
of nitrates can lead to methane gas production, blanket weed, algae,
high acid content in the water, etc.
7. Maintains alkalinity
Alkalinity, often referred to as "carbonate hardness," or German carbonate
hardness, is the measure of carbonate and bicarbonate concentrations
in your aquarium water. Alkalinity is a measure of the ability of
a solution to neutralize acid without changing the pH. It both controls
and maintains water pH. Carbonate hardness is measured in degrees
(dKH), parts per million of calcium carbonate (ppm CaCo3), or milligrams
per liter (mg/L). Alkalinity is not the same as pH because water does
not have to be strongly basic (high pH) to have high alkalinity. Alkalinity
is related to the amount of dissolved calcium, magnesium, and other
compounds in the water and as such, alkalinity tends to be higher
in "harder" water. Alkalinity is naturally decreased over time through
bacterial action which produces acidic compounds that combine with
and reduce the alkalinity components. In an established pond, the
ideal Alkalinity measurement should be around 100 ppm. Readings from
50 to 200 are acceptable.
Pond Keeper™ All-In-One Water Conditioner is not a medication,
chemotherapeutic agent or economic poison. If it was we wouldn't touch
it with a ten foot fishing pole! It should only be applied with regular
water changes or when new water is added to maximize the dechlorinator
benefits.
This special formulation is highly compatible with most other water
conditioners and antibiotics, along with most mixtures of beneficial
bacteria. It is not compatible with strong oxidizing agents and
should not be used with unchelated copper medication as it will
inactivate the free copper so copper sulphate is contra-indicated.
