Pond Boss Sludge Remover
Biological Sludge Remover - Natural Bacteria Formula for Pond Health
Pond Boss Sludge Remover is a powerful biological treatment designed to eliminate organic debris buildup on pond bottoms. Using selected heterotrophic bacterial strains, this natural formula breaks down accumulated leaves, fish waste, uneaten food, and other organic matter that creates unsightly sludge. By reducing sludge buildup, this treatment improves water quality, enhances pump and filter efficiency, and promotes a healthy pond ecosystem.
Natural Bacterial Action
Formulated with deionized water and selected heterotrophic bacterial strains, Sludge Remover works naturally to digest organic debris without harsh chemicals. The beneficial bacteria colonize the pond bottom and continuously break down sludge, reducing maintenance requirements and improving overall pond health. Safe for fish, plants, and beneficial bacteria already in your pond.

Application & Dosage:
Calculate your pond volume in gallons. Apply Sludge Remover evenly across pond surface according to bottle instructions, concentrating on areas with visible sludge buildup. For best results, apply in water temperatures above 50°F when bacterial activity is optimal. Treat every 2-4 weeks during active season for continuous sludge reduction. The beneficial bacteria will colonize your pond and continue working between treatments. Ensure adequate aeration during treatment for optimal bacterial performance.
Ingredients: Deionized water, selected heterotrophic bacterial strains
Important: Safe for fish and plants. Apply when water temperature is above 50°F. Maintain adequate aeration during treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does Sludge Remover work?
A: Sludge Remover contains beneficial heterotrophic bacteria that naturally digest organic debris like leaves, fish waste, and uneaten food that accumulate on the pond bottom. These bacteria colonize the sludge layer and continuously break it down into harmless compounds, reducing buildup over time and improving water quality.
Q: Which size should I buy for my pond?
A: The 16 oz bottle treats up to 960 gallons and is ideal for ponds under 1,000 gallons or light sludge buildup. The 64 oz bottle treats up to 3,840 gallons and offers better value for larger ponds, heavy sludge accumulation, or multiple treatments throughout the season. Calculate your pond volume (length × width × average depth × 7.5 for gallons) to determine the right size.
Q: Is this safe for my fish and plants?
A: Yes! Sludge Remover uses natural beneficial bacteria that are completely safe for fish, plants, and existing beneficial bacteria in your pond. The formula contains no harsh chemicals - just selected bacterial strains that naturally occur in healthy pond ecosystems. Always follow dosage instructions and maintain adequate aeration.
Q: When is the best time to use Sludge Remover?
A: Apply Sludge Remover when water temperatures are above 50°F, as bacterial activity is optimal in warmer water. The best time is spring through fall during the active pond season. For best results, treat every 2-4 weeks to maintain continuous sludge reduction. You can also apply a heavy dose in early spring to address winter sludge buildup.
Note: Treats up to 960 gallons (16 oz) or 3,840 gallons (64 oz). Natural bacterial formula. Safe for fish and plants. Apply when water is above 50°F.
