Why pH Matters
pH is a critical water quality parameter that affects fish health, plant growth, and beneficial bacteria activity. Most pond fish thrive in pH levels between 6.5 and 8.5, with 7.0-8.0 being ideal. Low pH (acidic water) can stress fish and inhibit beneficial bacteria. EasyPro pH Up safely raises low pH to optimal levels.
Application
Test your pond water pH using a reliable test kit. Add EasyPro pH Up according to the dosage instructions on the label. Add the product gradually, allowing time for circulation and re-testing between doses. Avoid raising 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: 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 Up 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 Up 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 Up 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 raise pH too quickly?
A: Yes, rapid pH changes can stress or harm fish. Never raise pH more than 0.5 units per day. Make gradual adjustments over several days for large pH corrections.
Q: Why does my pH keep dropping?
A: Low pH can be caused by acidic source water, decomposing organic matter, lack of buffering capacity, or acid rain. Regular testing and pH Up applications can maintain stable levels. Consider adding crushed coral or limestone for long-term buffering.
Q: Can I use this with other pond treatments?
A: Yes, pH Up is compatible with most pond treatments. However, adjust pH before adding medications or other treatments, as pH affects their effectiveness.
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.
