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!

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.
Make your green pond crystal clear again with BACTA CLEAR
A green pond full of algae is not only unattractive, it can also be harmful to fish and plants due to the accumulation of harmful substances. BACTA CLEAR tackles this problem at its roots by restoring biological balance. The special formula helps break down organic waste and reduces the nutrients that stimulate algae blooms. This significantly improves water clarity, restoring the health and attractiveness of your pond.
Prevent green water in new ponds with the right approach
Constructing a new pond often brings challenges, such as initial greening of the water. With BACTA CLEAR, you can effectively accelerate the natural balance. This product enriches the water with beneficial bacteria that are essential for a healthy pond. Combine this with thoughtful placement of aquatic plants and a solid substrate base to ensure the long-term clarity of your pond.
Keep your pond water healthy and clear with BACTA CLEAR and regular maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial to keeping your pond clear and healthy. BACTA CLEAR plays a central role in this process by continuously limiting the growth of floating algae and improving water quality. BACTA CLEAR's unique composition supports the growth of oxygen plants, which in turn help purify the water and extend the life of your pond. By adding BACTA CLEAR twice a year, in spring and fall, you ensure that your pond remains in optimal condition and free of algae and turbidity.
