Value Pond Bacteria! Each pack includes either 12 lbs. or 25 lbs. of bacteria packaged in half pound water soluble pouches. The bacteria helps break down organic matter on the bottom of the pond, diminish nutrient overload and helps reduce odor to create a clean, clear & healthy pond. The barley straw carrier adds a natural algaecide so your pond gets a concentrated dose of bacteria as well as the cleansing properties of barley extract.
These Bacteria Packs use 2 Billion CFU’s per gram of bacteria. Most other companies only use a 1B formulation to save money. We also use a 5 way blend of microbes formulated specifically for ponds and lakes. These strains are highly active at breaking down organic matter and are used extensively in the wastewater treatment industry. Lastly, with our dry formulation, we can get 20-50x more active bacteria in the package than you can with a liquid bacteria product. Ask before you purchase someone else’s product what their concentration is and how many strains of microbes they use. Many suppliers don’t know and if they do, they won’t tell you.
Comes in 8 ounce soluble pouches
This is a highly concentrated dry blend which contains cellulose enzymes, hyper cellulose producing bacteria and bacteria designed to work in cold weather to accelerate the breakdown of leaves, sediment and other accumulated dead organic waste.It comes in soluble packs that include barley straw medium.
