Torumo Up Japanese Algae Powder 600g

Torumo Up Japanese Algae Powder is a concentrated powder algaecide for Koi ponds, made in Japan and designed to help keep pond water clear. It suits Koi keepers and pond owners dealing with green water, blanket weed or blue-green algae, and it can also be used regularly to stop blooms before they start.

Key Benefits

• Authentic Japanese algae control: Torumoup (トルモアップ) is a professional-grade algaecide manufactured by KI Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. and imported directly from Japan.
• Formulated for high-end Koi ponds, to help maintain crystal-clear water.
• Highly concentrated and economical: it needs only 6 g per 10,000 litres of pond water.
• Fast acting: a visible reduction in algae is typically seen within 2-3 days.
• Versatile: effective against green water (suspended algae), blanket weed (filamentous algae) and blue-green algae.
• Preventative: regular use helps stop algae blooms before they start, which reduces pond maintenance.
• Developed specifically for use in ponds containing Nishikigoi (Koi).

How to Use

• Measure: work out your pond volume and weigh out the correct amount of Torumoup (approx. 6 g per 10 tons).
• Dissolve: pre-dissolve the powder in a bucket of pond water.
• Apply: using a watering can or dispenser, spread the mixture evenly over the entire surface of the pond.
• Wait: do not add fresh water to the pond for at least 24 hours after application, so the product has time to work.

Expert Tips for Best Results

• Timing: apply on a sunny morning for maximum effectiveness. Effectiveness may drop in rainy weather or at very low water temperatures.
