Pond Cleanse is all natural beneficial pond bacteria packets for cleaning pond water. Murky water is commonly caused by suspended organic debris and algae-causing nutrients from fish waste, runoff from farm fields and debris from surrounding trees. This strain of beneficial bacteria breaks down excess nutrients in water. Our formula also contains barley straw and cool water bacteria to allow treatments to be effective in water as low as 38°F.

Natural Waterscapes Pond Cleanse beneficial bacteria consists of a variety of strains of beneficial bacteria that are precisely calibrated to return maximum results when applied in the pond and lake ecosystem.  The strains of beneficial bacteria are in a water-soluble packet to make application easy. Nitrogen is processed and released to the atmosphere as beneficial bacteria digest nutrients and organic waste within the water column and to some degree in the pond bottom. 

Pond Cleanse is particularly well suited for tilapia farming, bass ponds, trout ponds, and catfish raising ponds where ammonia can be a threat to fish health.  Applying Pond Cleanse in any aquaculture system will help to cycle nitrogen more quickly through the system and improve fish health.

If clarity is not a concern in my pond, why should I use Pond Cleanse?

Pond Cleanse is meant for more than just water clarity. It actually has a FAR GREATER JOB. Pond Cleanse breaks down unwanted nutrients in pond water. You can't SEE these nutrients. Nutrients come from fish, fish food, fertilizer, dead vegetation, and even ground water. In addition to triggering algae blooms, these nutrients can be harmful to fish. Pond Cleanse helps to manage these nutrients.
