Tetra Pond CrystalWater

Tetra Pond CrystalWater

Tetra Pond CrystalWater is a pond water clarifier that removes suspended dirt particles, so you can see into your pond again and the water quality improves. It suits pond owners in South Africa who are dealing with cloudy water from clay, soil, fish waste, uneaten food or decaying plant matter. It is dosed with the cap that comes with the product.

Key Benefits

• Removes suspended dirt particles to give crystal-clear visibility into the pond
• Works in a matter of hours
• Binds mineral cloudiness from clay particles or plant soil
• Also binds organic cloudiness from fish faeces, food residues and dead plant material, so one product covers all of these causes of cloudy water
• Harmless to the pond environment: the active ingredients coagulate the floating particles that cloud the water, which makes them easier to filter out or remove by hand
• Improves water quality, supporting the well-being of fish and plants
• Easy to dose with the dosing cap, which makes routine pond care simpler

How It Works

The active ingredients flocculate the clouding particles in the water, clumping them together. The clumps can then be caught by your pond filter or lifted out with a net, such as the Tetra Pond AlgaeNet. While the product takes effect, the active ingredients release a turbidity of their own. This is harmless and dissolves within a few hours.

How to Use

• Check that the carbonate hardness (KH) of your pond water is 6°dH or higher before you apply. Tetra strongly recommends this, and you can test it with the Tetra Pond Test 7in1.
• Shake the bottle well before use.
• Measure the dose with the dosing cap.
• Mix the product thoroughly into the pond water, for example with a stick, for the best effect.
• Use Tetra Pond WaterStabiliser to keep KH and pH values stable after rainfall, after water changes, or before adding Tetra Pond CrystalWater.

Dosage

• Use the dosing cap to add 50 ml per 1,000 L of pond water.
• 250ml treats 5000L of pond water.
• 500ml treats 10,000L of pond water.
