Frequently Asked Questions
How does Aqua Defend™ work?
It uses beneficial bacteria to break down organic waste, phosphate binders to remove excess nutrients, pH buffers to stabilize water chemistry, and settling agents to clarify water.
Is this safe for koi and goldfish?
Yes, completely safe for all fish species, aquatic plants, beneficial bacteria, pets, and wildlife.
Which size should I choose?
1 lb treats 8,000 gallons weekly, 2 lb treats 16,000 gallons, 5 lb treats 40,000 gallons, and 10 lb treats 80,000 gallons. Larger sizes offer better value for ongoing maintenance.
How often should I apply this?
Apply weekly during the active season (water above 50°F). For problem ponds, apply twice weekly at double dosage until water quality improves.
Can I use this in cold water?
Aqua Defend™ works best when water temperatures are at least 50°F. Below this, beneficial bacteria become less active. Most pond owners pause treatments during winter.
Will this prevent buildup on my waterfall rocks?
Yes, regular use helps prevent mineral and organic buildup on rocks, waterfalls, and streams by breaking down organic matter before it can deposit on surfaces.
How long does it take to see results?
You may notice clearer water within a few days. For problem ponds, significant improvement typically occurs within 2-4 weeks of twice-weekly applications.
Can I use this with other pond treatments?
Yes, it's compatible with most pond treatments. Avoid products that kill bacteria (like certain algaecides) and space applications of different products by at least 24 hours when possible.
