Keeping it simple is what it's all about. The world of pond maintenance resembled a jungle, with countless products for every problem: products for koi-ponds, swim ponds and various maintenance needs. Too complicated, I thought. That's why I am proud to introduce: BACTA CLEAR.
Why get lost in a maze of products when one solution will do? BACTA CLEAR is your all-in-one panacea. It not only starts up your pond, but also cleans bottom mud, feeds your plants, and keeps floating and filamentous algae at bay. It goes even further by efficiently breaking down excess fish food, feces, decaying leaves and dead algae, turning your pond into an oasis of biological balance.
BACTA CLEAR's strength lies in its carefully selected blend of bacterial strains that provide crystal clear water and a stable ecosystem. Moreover, it is completely eco-friendly and safe for humans, animals and plants. With BACTA CLEAR you bring peace back into your garden and into your life.
When combined with INSTA CLEAN, the effect becomes even better. INSTA CLEAN breaks down organic matter and increases the CO2 concentration in the water, which helps clear up bottom debris and increase oxygen levels. This promotes the growth of your aquatic plants and keeps your pond in top condition. Together, BACTA CLEAR and INSTA CLEAN ensure clean soil, clear water and a balanced pond with strong, healthy plants.
With this powerful combination, you get everything you need for a maintenance-free and organic pond!
The best pond bacteria for the pond: BACTA CLEAR
In a pond, nitrifying bacteria are important. These bacteria help convert waste products into CO2. This is necessary for the growth of oxygen plants, which need CO2 to grow. BACTA CLEAR contains not 1 but 2 strain bacteria that both ensure clear water and prevent algae growth. In addition, BACTA CLEAR is 100% eco and not harmful to humans, plants and animals.
This is what our customers say!

Oxygenating plants and a bottle of Bacta clear
Purchased: Pond clear package - M
My pond was quite murky, so after a good conversation with Simon, I decided to follow the advice: more oxygen plants and a bottle of bacteria. I ordered the recommended package, but after four days no improvement was visible. Full of disappointment, I contacted customer service. They advised me to be patient and give the process 2-3 weeks. Although I had my doubts about it, I decided to wait anyway. And what turned out? After two weeks, the water started to clear and I even saw frogs that I had never noticed before! Thanks team vdvelde, and apologies for my impatience!

Plants are growing much better now and water is crystal clear
Purchased: POND SUBSTRATE pond substrate - 40 liters
Last year I had a landscaper install a plant filter at my swimming pond, recommending lava and some plants from the local garden center. Unfortunately, things went completely wrong; the plants died one by one and I suffered an algae infestation. After contacting customer service, I was advised to replace the lava with pond substrate and order some more plants. Now, several months later, the plants are growing well, and my filter is finally free of algae.

My little city pond
Purchased: Complete Pond Package - S - Red
I had been dreaming of having a pond in my urban garden for some time, but it always seemed like such a hassle. Online I found a complete package and decided to take the gamble, although I was skeptical about the quality of plants sent through the mail. But to my surprise, everything was delivered neatly and well-packaged. Within no time I had my pond set up. To my delight, after only two months I saw the first water lily bloom, and as icing on the cake I discovered salamanders in my pond. No idea how they got there, but it only adds to the joy. Truly enjoying it!

Blue lily: beautiful!
Purchased: Hardy Blue Water Lily - Nymphaea Blue Queen
Thank you very much for the generous delivery of the swamp iris "Blue Lis".
The new plants have been planted and I am curious to see if they will bloom this year.
There is good news about the water lily "Blue Queen": It is also blooming here in blue - and how beautiful!

Removing soil sludge without a vacuum cleaner
Purchased: Soil Dirt Pond Removal Package - M
After years of accumulation by fish, quite a bit of silt had accumulated in my pond.
At first I thought about a pond vacuum cleaner, but after contacting customer service I opted for the bottom debris removal package. I was skeptical, especially because the water became murky the first week. But after a month, the silt has reduced considerably. No hassle with a vacuum cleaner, and great results!
I am a fan.

water lilies for more biodiversity
As lovers of greenery, we were looking for a sustainable addition to our project. Van der Velde's water lilies were a hit! With DROP & GROW, it was really simple: plant and enjoy. We asked for different varieties and this was no problem either. Delivery was perfect. Within a week we already saw leaves above water, and meanwhile there are several flowers blooming. Both we and our customer are very enthusiastic.

Oxygen plants save my fish
Purchased: Oxygen Plants Pond Package - L
My fish were gasping for air, so I was looking for an air pump. Then I read that oxygen plants could also solve this problem. I ordered the package that fit my pond, and now my fish are swimming around carefree again. Additional plus: my pond water is much clearer. Fish happy, me happy!
