    Biological solutions for pond treatment provide an efficient method to tackle algae proliferation, eliminate sludge accumulation, improve water clarity, and reduce green water issues. These environmentally friendly products, crafted from all-natural ingredients, ensure the safety of aquatic life, including fish, wildlife, and humans. For the best results, start applying these beneficial bacteria in early spring to maintain pristine water quality throughout the season. By choosing these sustainable options, you can foster a healthier and more vibrant pond ecosystem. The UltraClear product line features several specialized biological pond solutions, such as the UltraClear Biological Pond Clarifier for enhancing overall clarity and gradually reducing sludge, the UltraClear Sludge Digester for tackling severe sludge issues, and the UltraClear SST, designed specifically for addressing significant clarity and suspended solids challenges.

    You should use natural bacteria in your pond

These beneficial bacteria also consume nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen that fuel nuisance algae and aquatic plant growth, helping to create a healthier, more balanced ecosystem. Adding natural bacteria provides an eco-friendly alternative to harsh chemicals, making the pond safer for fish, plants, and people.

  • UltraClear<sup>®</sup> Barley Straw Pellets

    UltraClear® Barley Straw Pellets

    UltraClear Barley Straw Pellets give you a safe, effective, natural way to treat ponds for clarity and can be safely used with all other UltraClear products.

  • Sure Start/Filter Start - For Pond Filters

    Sure Start/Filter Start – For Pond Filters

    Sure Start/Filter Start is used for new and old filters to get the natural bacterial base started. Use with a new filter, at the start of the growing season, or when changes occur to your filter during the year.

    Only 2 oz for each 3 gallons per minute biofilter is recommended.
    UltraClear Filter Start is a super-concentrated mixture of natural garden bacteria that work together to consume all typical pond wastes. The main bacteria groups contained in this product and their functions are as follows:

    Nitrifying bacteria oxidize toxic ammonia and nitrite to relatively non-toxic nitrate.
    Denitrifying bacteria convert nitrate to completely harmless nitrogen gas.
    Sludge digesting bacteria consume fecal matter, dead algae, leaves, clippings and other solids which otherwise tend to build up in your pond.

    Once the product is dosed, it becomes part of the biofilter. The bacteria grow in the biofilter, and consume waste as pond water passes through. The best feature of this product is that the biofilter begins to work at peak efficiency within just a few days of product application, rather than the weeks it often takes without product use.

  • UltraClear pH Buffer Block (Lg)

    UltraClear pH Buffer Block (Lg)

    The pH of the water determines the acidic or alkaline (basic) properties of your pond. Fish do best in neutral water that is neither too acidic nor too alkaline. Excessively high or low pH may be directly responsible for death from secondary causes (i.e. parasitic infections). Extreme pH changes will irritate the skin and gills of the fish.

    UltraClear Buffer Block will stabilize the pH and increase water hardness and alkalinity in your pond. Low or no buffering capacity (low alkalinity & calcium carbonates) causes the pH of the pond to become unstable resulting in wide swings of the pH.

    UltraClear Buffer Block adds essential calcium needed for healthy fish bone growth. It also enhances the growth and survival of beneficial bacteria for a healthy, beautiful pond. Great for snails!

    INSTRUCTIONS: Large Buffer Block treats ponds up to 2000 gallons. Place the Buffer Block in the main water flow of the skimmer, filter or waterfall. The large container lasts up to 3 weeks. Replace the block when dissolved.
