| KORDON'S Pondï¾·Prep is a dry powder that should be added when setting up a new pond or when restarting a completely cleaned pond. Pondï¾·Prep sets up the pond completely, making it ready for proper nitrification to begin and preparing the water for the fishes. For the initial start up, no additional chemicals are needed, Pondï¾·Prep will remove all chlorine, chloramines, ammonia from new water and it helps detoxifies copper and other related heavy metals often found in tap water. Pondï¾·Prep will add needed electrolytes and skin slime replenishers to prevent or minimize stress on the newly added fishes.
Product Description: Stabilizes alkalinity Replaces lost skin slime Aids in the establishment of biological filtration Reduces shock and stress Removes ammonia, chloramines & chlorine Adds essential minerals Pondï¾·Prep reduces the toxicity of nitrite and provides trace elements needed to establish and maintain biological filtration. Pondï¾·Prep supplies the electrolytes and minerals needed by fishes in new pond water. It adds buffering components to help boost and maintain the necessary acid-neutralizing capacity (alkalinity) of the water. When used as directed, a single dose of Pondï¾·Prep will remove 1 mg/l of ammonia, up to12.6 mg/l of chloramines, and 3.75 mg/l of total chlorine. Pondï¾·Prep will detoxify up to 1.0 mg/l copper and reduce or eliminate the toxicity of other heavy metals. Pondï¾·Prep's polymers help minimize stress and infection. Pondï¾·Prep does not interfere with fishes' breathing nor does it reduce dissolved oxygen levels. Pondï¾·Prep does not contain any live bacteria or bacterial spores; it does not contain any phosphates, copper, formaldehyde, plant sap, drugs nor dyes. Pondï¾·Prep will interfere with the proper readings of Nessler-type ammonia test kits; for ammonia testing use a salicylate-type test kit such as Kordon's AquaTru® Ammonia (Salicylate) Test Kit. For subsequent water changes and water additions use Pond NovAqua® and Pond AmQuel®. Use Pond NovAqua when introducing new fishes to your pond. If fishes suffer extensive bruises or damaged skin and scales after handling, use Kordon's Pond PolyAqua® as a healing aid.
Direction for use: INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: To properly condition water in either a new pond or a freshly cleaned pond, add the appropriate amount to about 1 gallon of water. Stir to form a slurry and distribute the slurry throughout the pond. Rinse the container to ensure all of the Pondï¾·Prep powder is added to the pond water. For smaller volumes of water (e.g. indoor ponds) add Pondï¾·Prep at the rate of 1 level teaspoonful for each 20 gallons of pond water. |
