Pond Saver is a concentrated microbial product containing a proprietary blend of bacteria that quickly biodegrade the nutrients, organic matter and hydrocarbons in water that contribute to sludge, clouding and foul odors. These naturally-occurring bacteria were selected for their ability to quickly clean and deodorize nutrient-rich waters. Pond Saver is a natural, biodegradable product and is nontoxic to plants, humans or animals, including fish.
Key product benefits of Pond Saver:
-
Improves water clarity and quality

Do not use chemical treatments while using Pond Saver because the bacteria may be killed by the chemicals. (Pond colorants are usually safe for simultaneous use)
-
Chlorinated water inhibits bacterial growth if chlorine concentration is high enough. Tap water usually acceptable

Pond water treated with Pond Saver is safe for irrigation of plants
-
In areas having no winter season, apply the initial dose every 6 months

Pond Saver
Pond Saver is a concentrated microbial product containing a minimum of 1 billion CFU's (colony forming units) per gram of a proprietary blend of bacteria that quickly biodegrade the nutrients, organic matter and hydrocarbons in water that contribute to sludge, clouding and foul odors. The bacteria in Pond Saver are naturally-occurring strains that have NOT been genetically engineered. These bacteria were selected for their natural ability to quickly clean and deodorize nutrient-rich waters. Pond Saver is a natural, biodegradable product and is nontoxic to plants, humans or animals, including fish.
Pond Saver:
Direction for use
For Large Ponds: Apply 3 pounds of Pond Saver per acre-foot of water (325,000 gallon). Mix the product with pond water and pour into the shallow areas along the water's edge. Repeat application with a lower dose (1/2 pound per acre-foot) every 2 to 4 weeks as needed. Alternatively, drop Pond Saver WS water-soluble packs into the shallow water along the edge, spacing them apart equally. One packet handles about 54,000 gallons. Wait 2-weeks before evaluating.
For Small Ponds or Water Gardens: Apply 1 Tablespoon of Pond Saver per 1000 gallons of water. Repeat application every 2 weeks. For dirtier ponds, apply a double dose until water clears.
Proper use with algaecide:
If the pond is severely over populated with algae, correct this problem first before using Pond Saver, either by physically removing the surface algae, or by use of an EPA-registered algaecide. Note that chemical algaecides may kill or inhibit the Pond Saver bacteria. If an algaecide is used, allow adequate time for the algaecide levels to diminish (1 week in most cases) before applying Pond Saver. When applying Pond Saver after algaecide use, be sure to start with the higher initial application rate.
