How Do I Use Microbe-Lift Filter Gel?

Microbe-Lift Filter Gel is a technology breakthrough because it’s the first product that puts the bacteria right where you want it and it stays there!. Microbe-Lift Filter Gel will quickly attach to and populate any filter media including foam, strapping, floss, bio balls, ceramic media and K1 etc.

Filter Gel will rapidly establish the necessary biological activity in your filter which in turn will stabilize your pond’s environment quickly.

Microbe-Lift Filter Gel will also help restore this activity to your filter when you clean or change the media in your filter.

Microbe-Lift Filter Gel Product Features:

• Easily applies to filters pads/media without running
• Contains the same spectrum of bacteria as Microbe-Lift/PL
• Contains naturally occurring biopolymers, helping organisms quickly attach to the media allowing 80% reduction in filter start-up time
• Helps to stabilize the pond’s environment quickly upon start-up and to eliminate transient instability that can occur when filter media is cleaned or replaced
• Allows for more frequent cleaning of filters without subsequent instability if a pond has a high solids loading where more frequent cleaning is beneficial
• Reduces the frequency of cleaning by accelerating the breakdown of organic solids that lead to high maintenance requirements.
• Helps to establish denitrification in the filter which can lower nitrate levels in the pond.

Application:

Inoculate (spread) the Microbe-Lift Filter Gel directly to the filter pad or media. The Filter Gel will absorb into the pad/media by letting it set for 1 to 2 hours before inserting the media back into the filter or skimmer. After the media has been inserted back  to the filter, turn off the recirculating pump for 1 to 2 hours, providing that the water can maintain adequate oxygenation without circulation for this amount of time. Repeat the application after each cleaning/replacement of filter pas/media.

For normal maintenance use Microbe-Lift Clean & Clear
