Keeping it simple is what it's all about. The world of pond care seemed like a jungle, full of different products - half with an "A," half with a "B," and then those special varieties for koi- or swimming ponds. Too complicated, I thought. That's why I am proud to introduce: BACTA CLEAR.

 

Why lose yourself in a maze of products when one hero can suffice? BACTA CLEAR is your all-in-one solution. It not only starts up your pond, but also cleans the bottom sludge, gives your plants exactly what they need and keeps both suspended and filamentous algae at bay. And that's not all. BACTA CLEAR goes further by efficiently breaking down excess fish food, feces, decaying leaves and dead algae, making your pond a model of biological balance.

 

Thanks to a carefully selected blend of multiple bacterial strains, BACTA CLEAR ensures crystal clear water and keeps algae growth firmly in check. It is completely eco-friendly and safe for humans, plants and animals. Simply put, with BACTA CLEAR you get peace back into your garden and into your life.

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.

The importance of oxygen in your pond: Prevent fish deaths with BACTA CLEAR

Oxygen is crucial to the well-being of your pond fish. Proper oxygen balance ensures a vibrant and healthy pond, while a deficiency can have serious consequences, such as fish death. In summer, as temperatures rise, oxygen levels in your pond become critical. BACTA CLEAR helps maintain this balance by promoting the biodegradation process, effectively reducing oxygen-consuming wastes.

Against oxygen deficiency: keep your fish healthy with BACTA CLEAR

Watch for signs of oxygen deficiency, such as fish gasping for air at the water's surface. This may indicate low oxygen levels. By using BACTA CLEAR, you can help restore biological balance and increase oxygen levels in your pond. In addition to using BACTA CLEAR, it is wise to install oxygen plants that not only provide oxygen during the day but also help to keep your pond clear by controlling algae.

An oxygenated pond with BACTA CLEAR

For an optimal oxygen-rich environment in your pond, combine BACTA CLEAR with good practices such as installing oxygen plants and water lilies. These plants help keep the pond cool and provide shade, which is essential for maintaining high oxygen levels. Regular maintenance, such as removing organic debris and ensuring adequate water circulation, also contributes to a healthy pond. With these simple steps and the help of BACTA CLEAR, you'll ensure a clear, healthy pond where your fish can thrive.

Oxygen plants are a must for any pond!
Sufficiently oxygenating underwater plants in the pond means you will NOT need a pump and filter. Oxygenating plants filter the water and block the sun. This causes the water to heat up less which reduces the formation of algae. Oxygen plants also provide shelter for fish from impending danger. All of our oxygen plants are hardy and are supplied from our own aquatic plant nursery with a 100% growth and flowering guarantee. For oxygen plants, I recommend a minimum of 10 to 12 individual plants per m³ (1000 liters of water) and 2 baskets of 4 plants per m². The amount needed depends on how quickly you want the pond to balance and your visual requirements.
