Pond Heater and Winter Blend Good Bacteria

Before or during winter this good bacteria is added when the temperatures are below 55 degrees and works in temperatures below the ice and snow levels. The biggest cause of fish death is ammonia. During the winter the Winter Blend will remove your ionized and toxic ammonia and reduces sludge buildup during this time. These bacteria are not the”nitrifying bacteria” found in the Spring and Summer UltraClear^? formulations.

The cold water bacteria in Winter Blend absorb ammonia from the water during the entire winter months. When Spring comes, then the use of the UltraClear^? line should be routinely used.

Get your pond ready for Spring!

Dosage: Use 1 oz per 1000 gallons weekly when temperatures drop below 55 degrees. Double the dosage if your pond has a lot of debris.

Pond Deicers or Pool Heaters.

In areas where the threat of ice in winter is obvious, the necessity of a pool heater or deicer is recommended. The aquatic life in your pond, especially the fish, cannot survive heavy ice buildup and noxious gases may be trapped.

The pond heater will use the thermostat to turn on when in need at lower temperatures, keep a hole in the ice to allow the noxious gases to escape.

It is recommended to use at least a 315 Watt or above pool heater in latitudes of Chicago, Cleveland and New York.

This combination of BOTH Winter Blend and a Pool Heater will be the best solution and peace of mind during the winter months when your pool still needs care.
