These are super concentrated 1/2 pound doses of pond bacteria in an easy to apply and convenient water soluble packet. Just toss the packets in the water and the bag will dissolve in the water. Don’t open the packet and don’t get the packets wet before you go to use them. A special blend of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and barley created to keep your pond clean and clear. We don’t like calculating gallons and measuring things any more than you do, so we keep it simple. This is 100% natural bacteria, you will never add too much. If your pond is the size of your car add 1 packet per week over the summer, anywhere in the pond. Don’t open the packet, just toss it in the water. You may want to double that amount first thing in spring to boost the natural ecosystem. If your pond is half that size, use half as much. If your pond is twice that size use twice as much. Pretty darn simple! If you have a big pond, you should apply a minimum of 8 packets per acre, spread around the pond, per week that it isn’t frozen. If your pond is old and mucky, you can easily double that amount. If you have relatively clean water and a healthy pond full of aquatic plants, you may need much less bacteria.

These natural sinking bacteria tablets contain a blend of beneficial pond bacteria that can perform in water temperatures as high as 110 F, and as low as 35 F and are great for reducing the muck on the bottom of your pond whether you have a large pond of multiple acres, or a small backyard pond of a few square feet. These tablets sink to the bottom and dissolve in your pond water, so there is no mess and no cleanup. The natural bacteria in these tablets will work hard to break down the debris and muck that gets into your pond. Less muck in the pond will mean less nutrients in the pond. Less nutrients in the pond will mean less algae. This pond bacteria formulation will also naturally eliminate murky water, excess fish food, fish wastes, odors, problem nutrients (such as nitrate and phosphate) and toxins (such as ammonia and nitrite).
Many people use these tablets to help rejuvenate old ponds with thick muck layers. The more bacteria you put in your pond, the more quickly the muck will be broken down, you can never harm fish, animals or plants with these tablets. The bacteria colonize in the pond feeding on the nutrients and muck. Most people add somewhere in the ballpark of 20 pounds of tablets per acre of pond surface per month as a minimum. You could easily double that for a mucky pond, and adding it more often will only help. For a small backyard pond, maybe a 1/4 or 1/2 pound every couple of weeks will do the trick.

Simple Pond Bacteria is an all natural blend of bacteria and enzymes created to specifically meet the needs of your natural pond. One of the keys to clean and clear water is the addition of bacteria and enzymes. This blend will work night and day to help break down any debris and muck that is in your pond. This is the exact product that I add to my pond and my client’s ponds every year. I give ponds a big dose in the spring and then add it as needed over the season. The amount of bacteria that your pond will need will depend on the current condition of the pond. Ponds with much debris and runoff entering the water will need more bacteria than a cleaner pond.
