How It Works
Unlike liquid or powder bacteria treatments that require weekly application, EasyPro Sludge Remover Pellets provide continuous treatment. As the 3-gram pellets slowly dissolve, they release beneficial enzyme-producing bacteria that colonize your pond and break down organic debris including leaves, fish waste, uneaten food, and other decaying matter. This ongoing process reduces sludge buildup on the pond bottom and maintains optimal water quality with minimal effort.
What It Does
- Reduces toxic ammonia and nitrite levels
- Reduces problem-causing nitrate and phosphate
- Reduces murky water caused by organic wastes
- Reduces organic bottom sludge (muck)
- Reduces unpleasant odors
- Maintains clean, clear water continuously
FAQ
Q: How many pellets do I need for my pond?
A: Application rates vary based on pond size and sludge levels. Typically, use 1-2 pellets per 1,000 gallons of water. For heavy sludge buildup, you may use additional pellets.
Q: Which size should I buy?
A: The 5 lb size suits small to medium ponds up to 5,000 gallons, the 10 lb size is ideal for ponds up to 10,000 gallons or season-long treatment, and the 25 lb size is perfect for large ponds or multiple water features.
Q: How long does each pellet last?
A: Each 3-gram pellet dissolves slowly over several weeks, providing continuous bacteria treatment. Exact dissolution time varies based on water temperature, circulation, and pond conditions.
Q: Is this safe for fish and plants?
A: Absolutely! The natural bacteria formulation is completely safe for fish, plants, pets, and wildlife.
Q: Will this work in cold water?
A: Bacterial activity slows significantly in water below 50°F. For optimal results, use when water temperatures are consistently above 50°F, typically from spring through fall.
Q: How long does it take to see results?
A: You'll typically notice improved water clarity within 1-2 weeks. Significant sludge reduction becomes visible after 4-6 weeks of consistent treatment as bacteria populations establish.
Q: How should I apply the pellets?
A: Simply toss the pellets evenly across your pond surface. They will sink and dissolve slowly, releasing beneficial bacteria throughout the water column and on the pond bottom.
Q: Can I use this with other pond treatments?
A: Yes, this product is compatible with most pond treatments. However, avoid using within 3 days of applying algaecides or antibacterial products, as these may reduce bacterial effectiveness.
