Aqua Perfect PH Up 200g

Aqua Perfect PH Up 200g

Aqua Perfect PH Up is a pond pH-raising conditioner for koi keepers who want to keep their water close to the level koi are naturally suited to. This 200 g pack treats 10,000 litres of pond water, so it suits keepers whose water has drifted too acidic or become unstable.

Why pH Balance Matters for Koi

Correct pH is essential for the health, colour and overall well-being of koi. Koi have an average blood pH of approximately 7.4, so pond water is best kept as close to that figure as possible to support normal biological functions.

Sudden or extreme swings in pH, especially outside the safe range of 6.5 to 9.0, can put koi under significant stress. Prolonged exposure to unstable or incorrect pH may contribute to:

• Weakened immunity
• Reduced appetite
• Poor growth
• Increased susceptibility to disease

Key Benefits

• Helps raise and balance pond pH when levels have fallen out of the acceptable 6.5 to 9.0 range
• Supports stable water conditions, which helps reduce stress on your koi
• Helps protect colour: low pH works against Hi (red patterns) and Sumi (black pigmentation), leaving them dull, weak and faded over time
• Supports long-term pond health and the vitality of your fish
• One 200 g pack covers 10,000 litres of pond water

Low pH and Koi Colour

Acidic water is particularly hard on koi coloration. With low pH, the Hi (red pattern) and Sumi (black) do not stay as strong and tend to fade as time goes by. If pH is not properly balanced, even high-quality koi can gradually lose their vibrant appearance. Keeping pH well balanced lets koi thrive and supports strong colour.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much pond water does one 200 g pack treat?
200 g treats 10,000 litres of water.

What pH should my koi pond be?
Koi have an average blood pH of about 7.4, so water close to that level is ideal. The acceptable range is 6.5 to 9.0.

What happens if pond pH swings outside the safe range?
Drastic fluctuations outside 6.5 to 9.0 can stress koi. Over time, unstable pH may lead to weakened immunity, reduced appetite, poor growth and a higher susceptibility to disease.

Can low pH affect the colour of my koi?
Yes. Low pH has a negative impact on Hi (red pattern) and Sumi (black), which tend to fade as time goes by. Balanced pH helps support strong colour.

When should I use a pH-raising product?
Use one when your pond water pH has drifted outside the acceptable range, or fluctuates drastically. Adding a product to balance the pH can help bring conditions back in line.
