Treat fresh water every time you top up or do a water change, whenever tap water is added to a pond containing aquatic life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich heavy metals does it remove?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt removes heavy metals from tap water, including zinc and copper, along with toxic chlorine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I work out how much water my pond holds?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMultiply length by width by average depth, all in metres, then multiply the result by 1000 to get litres. Use that volume, or the volume of fresh water being added, to calculate your dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy dose into a bucket first?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe directions say to dose into a bucket of water first.

Check the dosing on the bottle label as well before you treat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it on fish that will be eaten?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. It is not to be used on fish intended for human consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I choose the right bottle size?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nChoose by your pond volume and how often you top up or change water. Because the dose is 1 ml per 40 litres of fresh water, larger ponds and frequent water changes use more product.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AKWA","offers":[{"title":"200ml","offer_id":39284540309558,"sku":"6009681303640","price":125.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"500ml","offer_id":39284540342326,"sku":"6009681303657","price":229.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1L","offer_id":47355329020212,"sku":"6009696808895","price":425.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0151\/9016\/3510\/products\/pond-medic-anti-chlorine-water-conditioner-for-freshwater-ponds-removes-chlorine-heavy-metals.jpg?v=1743714544","url":"https:\/\/jungleaquatics.com\/products\/pond-medic-anti-chlorine","provider":"Jungle Aquatics Pet Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
