Pure KH Stabilizer - pH Buffer for Optimal Pond Health
Maintain the perfect environment for your aquatic life with Koi Pharma® Pure KH Stabilizer - pH Protector. This essential product ensures your pond’s ecosystem thrives by stabilizing and buffering pH levels and keeping your nitrification process running smoothly.
Key Features and Benefits
-
Stabilizes and Buffers pH: Prevents harsh pH swings that can lead to unexplainable fish deaths by maintaining pH levels at 7 or higher.
-
Enhances Beneficial Bacteria Performance: Keeps nitrifying and sludge-eating bacteria working efficiently, aiding in ammonia and nitrite reduction.
-
Promotes Clearer Water: Facilitates sludge and debris removal through improved bacterial activity.
-
Improves Fish Color: Helps to brighten the color of your fish, enhancing their natural beauty.
-
Year-Round Use: Effective throughout the year, particularly after a water change, rain and snowfall.
-
Safe for All Pond Inhabitants: Suitable for all fish, plants, and wildlife.
Why KH Stabilization is Crucial
Managing KH (carbonate hardness/alkalinity) is vital for a healthy pond ecosystem. When KH levels fall below 100 ppm, nitrifying bacteria such as nitrosomonas and nitrobacter, along with sludge-eating bacteria, become sluggish. Koi Pharma® Pure KH Stabilizer boosts these bacteria, ensuring they perform optimally, which in turn keeps your pond water clean and your fish healthy.
How to Use Koi Pharma® Pure KH Stabilizer
-
Test Your Water: Regularly check the KH levels of your pond water.
-
Apply as Needed: Add Koi Pharma® Pure KH Stabilizer to maintain KH levels above 100 ppm.
-
Routine Maintenance: Use the stabilizer year-round, especially after a water change, rain or snowfall, to prevent pH crashes and maintain a stable environment.
Usage Instructions
-
Dosage: Follow the product’s label instructions for the appropriate dosage based on your pond size.
-
Safety: Safe for all pond inhabitants, including fish, plants, and wildlife. Always follow the recommended dosage to avoid over-stabilizing.
Important Considerations
-
Continuous Monitoring: Regularly monitor KH and pH levels to ensure optimal conditions.
