  • It replaces vital minerals that are essential for optimal health
  • It improves colour by stimulating pigment cells.

For a weekly dose add 31g per 220 gallons ( 1,000 ltrs). Mix the dosage in a bucket of pond water, stir thoroughly, leave for a few

minutes, then stir again and  distribute evenly across the pond.

To minimize clouding of the water, a daily dose of 4g per 220 gallons ( 1,000 ltrs) will suffice. Best added in the evening

    Good value for money, compared to imported product. Dissolves easily, and only time well tell.

Blanket Weed Resolve
Blanket Weed Resolve

Blanket Weed Resolve

Blanketweed naturally becomes resistant to treatments after continued use and this is why Aqua Source’s new treatment will work when others fail, even at low temperatures.

Aqua Source Blanket Weed Resolve is completely free of Algaecides, ammonium compounds and metal salts. It is harmless to animals and plants and will not affect your filter bacteria. Your pond water may turn slightly cloudy for 3-4 days, but this is perfectly normal. As with all pond treatments, ensure that the pond is well oxygenated. A kH above 2 is recommended, if unsure add some KH buffer.

  • Repeat dose every 10 days over 30 days, if necessary, then add one dose monthly to prevent re-occurrence.
  • No need to mix in a bucket, simply sprinkle directly around the edges of your pond.
  • Wash hands after use and keep away from children.

Pond Log
Pond Log-Flocculant/Phosphate Remover

Pond Log-Flocculant/Phosphate Remover

Pond Logs, Mini Pond Logs, and Pond Zingers are designed to work in flowing conditions.  As water moves over and around the log, it slowly dissolves, releasing its components into the water column causing excess inanimate nutrients, such as phosphorous, to bind together.  As they bind together, the particulate gets heavier and heavier and then settles to the bottom of the pond or is filtered out.

It is important to note that Pond Logs do not remove all the inanimate nutrients, just enough to create a healthy ecosystem.  Our pond products typically see a 75-90% reduction of phosphorus. All APS products are safe for fish; no need to monitor pH.

Dosage:

Pond Logs treat 20,000 to 100,000 gallons of water and Pond Zinger treats 500-12,000 gallons of water.

Installation:

APS Pond products can be installed above an aerator, under a floating fountain, on the steps of a waterfall or with any circulation mechanism.  The water must be moving over and around the Pond Products for them to work.

Water Cleanser 1 kg industrial Block
Water Cleanser

The Water Cleanser 
The Water Cleanser can best be described as a wax-like block to grow bacteria and microbes. If you put it under a strong microscope you will see millions of capillary openings that serve as a home for beneficial bacteria and microbes that provide a healthy water quality. The Water Cleanser also contains all the necessary trace elements for Archaea microbes and Bacillus bacteria.

How does the Water Cleanser work?
Useful bacteria and microbes naturally remove organic waste (uneaten feed, dead plant remains, dead algae, fish excrement, etc.). Influences from outside such as chemicals and fertilizers can disrupt the natural cycle and weaken the existing beneficial bacteria. The Water Cleanser provides a protected habitat with all necessary trace elements so that microbes can multiply optimally. As soon as the microbes have recovered, they will soon break down organic waste.
Archaea microbes prefer to break down organic waste than oil but need hydrocarbon as a source of energy and to multiply. Archaea microbes are present in all forms of water, but are not active until they have a hydrocarbon source. The Water Cleanser is a hydrocarbon catalyst that provides the ideal conditions for these Archaea microbes.

The Water Cleanser has been tested for more than 12 years and has a positive effect on all aquatic life. In addition, the Water Cleanser can also be used in swimming pools, which means fewer chemicals can be used.
