Why pH Matters
Most pond fish thrive in pH levels between 6.5 and 8.5, with 7.0-8.0 being ideal. High pH (alkaline water) can stress fish, reduce nutrient availability for plants, and affect ammonia toxicity. EasyPro pH Down safely lowers high pH to optimal levels.
Application
Test your pond water pH using a reliable test kit. Add EasyPro pH Down according to the dosage instructions on the label. Add the product gradually, allowing time for circulation and re-testing between doses. Avoid lowering pH more than 0.5 units per day to prevent shocking fish. Always dilute in a bucket of pond water first, then distribute around the pond perimeter.
FAQ
Q: Which size should I choose?
A: Choose the 16 oz (EPHD16) for small to medium ponds or occasional pH adjustments. Choose the 1 gallon (EPHD128) for large ponds, commercial installations, or frequent pH adjustments.
Q: What pH level should my pond be?
A: Most pond fish thrive in pH levels between 6.5 and 8.5, with 7.0-8.0 being ideal. Koi and goldfish do well in this range. Test your water regularly to maintain stable pH.
Q: How much pH Down do I need?
A: Dosage depends on your current pH, target pH, and pond volume. Follow the product label instructions for specific dosing rates. Always start with less and add more gradually.
Q: How quickly does this work?
A: pH Down works quickly, typically showing results within hours. However, add it gradually and allow time for circulation between doses to avoid shocking fish.
Q: Is this safe for fish?
A: Yes, when used as directed, pH Down is safe for fish, plants, and beneficial bacteria. Never add concentrated product directly to the pond—always dilute in a bucket of pond water first.
Q: Can I lower pH too quickly?
A: Yes, rapid pH changes can stress or harm fish. Never lower pH more than 0.5 units per day. Make gradual adjustments over several days for large pH corrections.
Q: Why does my pH keep rising?
A: High pH can be caused by alkaline source water, limestone rocks, concrete, high carbonate hardness (KH), or excessive algae growth. Regular testing and pH Down applications can maintain stable levels.
Q: How often should I test pH?
A: Test pH weekly during the active season, and more frequently when making adjustments or after heavy rains. Consistent monitoring helps maintain stable water chemistry.
