To keep your pond healthy, it is important to add BACTA CLEAR to the water twice a year. These bacteria help break down waste products in the pond and ensure clean, clear water.

We recommend adding BACTA CLEAR in the spring, as soon as the water temperature rises above 12°C. This is when the bacteria are most active and help the pond get back on its feet after winter.

In the fall, before it freezes, it is also wise to add BACTA CLEAR. Once the water freezes, many of the bacteria go into a resting phase. Adding them earlier allows them to do their work before the temperature drops.

These two treatments a year will keep your pond clear and balanced, provided your pond is otherwise properly set up.

Our pond bacteria are a valuable tool for balancing your pond. These bacteria need at least 10 days to settle in properly and do their job. During this time they begin their important job of promoting healthy water quality and reducing algae.

However, it is important to realize that bacteria alone are not enough to solve all the problems in your pond year-round. If the pond is not set up properly, algae may still occur. A layer of 5 to 10 inches of porous pond substrate on the pond floor is essential. In addition, sufficient aquatic plants should be present, such as marsh plants, oxygen plants and water lilies. These allow the bacteria to do their job optimally and help to remedy and prevent the green color of the water and algae.

A good balance between these elements is crucial for a healthy pond. Each aspect reinforces the other and only by using them together can you achieve the desired result. How exactly to do this, you can read step by step in our online pond check: Do the pond check.

BACTA CLEAR can be combined with other products without problems, the best combinations for optimal results are POND SUBSTRATE pond substrate and INSTA CLEAN soil cleaner.

The pond substrate provides an ideal environment for BACTA CLEAR's bacteria to settle and work effectively. The porous structure of the pond substrate allows the bacteria to spread easily and quickly begin breaking down organic matter and waste products.

INSTA CLEAN acts as a powerful bottom cleaner that removes silt and dirt particles from the pond. This allows BACTA CLEAR's bacteria to focus fully on purifying the water without being hindered by excess debris on the bottom.

The combination of these products ensures a healthy and stable pond environment in which algae problems and cloudy water are minimized.

In addition, make sure that the pond contains sufficient and different types of aquatic plants so that everything can work together for the desired result: A year-round clean pond.

The cloudy/dark color may occur because silt is released from the pond bottom, which is then broken down by the bacteria of BACTA CLEAR. When insufficient aquatic plants are present to absorb the released waste, the water may become temporarily cloudy. This is a normal process and usually disappears within +/- 10 days.

To prevent this cloudy color from returning, it is important to set up the pond correctly. A layer of 5 to 10 cm of porous substrate on the pond bottom is essential. In addition, sufficient aquatic plants should be present, such as marsh plants, oxygen plants and water lilies. These ensure that the bacteria can do their work optimally and help to prevent the cloudy/dark color in the future.

Lactic acid bacteria are often used because of their specific action in controlling bacterial and parasitic fungal diseases, but they also have obvious limitations. They primarily target a narrow range of application and require regular repeated administration to maintain effect. In addition, precise dosing is required, making their use complicated and less practical for pond owners.

Natural bacteria, such as those found in BACTA CLEAR, offer a more versatile and user-friendly alternative. These bacteria not only support fish health, but also actively work against algae growth and efficiently break down organic waste. This creates a healthier pond environment without the complexity of constant additions and precise dosing.

With natural bacteria, you are investing in a self-maintaining biological balance in the pond, which ultimately means less work and expense. For a sustainable, low-maintenance solution that keeps your pond clear and healthy, natural bacteria are the best choice.

Bacterial contains nitrifying bacterial cultures in freeze-dried form, which help quickly establish a biological balance in new ponds. While this is an effective product, it comes with some limitations. Bacterial's action is temporary, requires repeated use and focuses primarily on increasing nitrifying bacteria, making it less suitable for general pond maintenance. In addition, it requires precise dosages and schedules, making its use less practical.

Why choose BACTA CLEAR?
Natural bacteria, such as those found in BACTA CLEAR, offer a more complete pond maintenance solution:

• Broad scope of action: BACTA CLEAR not only fights algae and breaks down organic waste, but also supports a lasting biological balance in the pond.
• Easy to use: No complicated dosing schedules or frequent additions required.
• Durable and cost-saving: The versatile operation means you need fewer additional products, saving cost and effort.

With BACTA CLEAR, you choose a long-term healthy, clear pond without the limitations of freeze-dried bacteria. It is an environmentally friendly and effective solution for total pond management.

Bokashi pond balls work by adding beneficial microorganisms that break down organic waste and restore biological balance to the pond. These balls are placed in the pond, where they slowly dissolve and release their beneficial bacteria to reduce soil silt and improve water quality.

BACTA CLEAR offers the same benefits as Bokashi pond balls, but goes one step further. By adding beneficial bacteria directly to the water, BACTA CLEAR speeds up the process of breaking down organic waste and preventing siltation. This leads to an even more effective and efficient solution for maintaining a healthy pond environment without the need for regular additions as with Bokashi pond balls.
