Pond Saver is a concentrated microbial product containing a proprietary blend of bacteria that quickly biodegrade the nutrients, organic matter and hydrocarbons in water that contribute to sludge, clouding and foul odors. These naturally-occurring bacteria were selected for their ability to quickly clean and deodorize nutrient-rich waters. Pond Saver is a natural, biodegradable product and is nontoxic to plants, humans or animals, including fish.
Key product benefits of Pond Saver:
- Improves water clarity and quality
