How to remove ammonia from pond water
RapidBac is an ideal solution for rapid removal of toxic ammonia in pond water. The active bacteria in RapidBac go straight to work reducing harmful levels. This liquid bacteria is a faster option than powder or pelletized bacteria treatments.
Beneficial bacteria removes ammonia by safely breaking down these nutrients in water. To ensure that dangerous levels of ammonia do not return in the future, continue to apply a maintenance dose of RapidBac. This establishes a healthy balance of good bacteria in water to target new issues as they arise.
How does RapidBac improve water clarity?
There are 2 ways RapidBac clears murky pond water. When Rapidbac is applied to water it has a biological flocculation capability. This means it clumps small particles together, which causes them to drop to the pond bottom. As a natural bacteria, RapidBac works to break down organic debris and nutrients in water which, over time, will also improve water clarity.
RapidBac Application:
Shake bottle vigorously before use.
2 Different Application Methods: Pour OR Spray
Pour recommended rate in area with good circulation for best dispersion.
Spray Rapidbac across the pond surface via tank sprayer. Tank mix RapidBac with water to dillute concentrate. Mixture ratio is 1:1- 1 gallon of Rapidbac with 1 gallon of water.
Spray method allows for faster dispersion throughout the water column.
Treat every 2 weeks when water temperature is above 38°F. See treatment rates below. This pond bacteria should be dosed based on the the size of the whole pond.
