Use NT Labs Magiclear when your pond water appears to be green and/or cloudy. Magiclear causes particles in the water to clump together which can then be removed by the filter.
Do:
- Aerate pond well e.g. fountain, waterfall or air pump.
- Conduct a partial water change (as much as is practical) before use, especially if the water is extremely green, like “pea soup”.
- Switch off pump only if strong flow rate could prevent particles from clumping BUT remember to switch back on as soon as water clarifies. Mix the correct dose in a clean bucket of pond water, then pour evenly around the pond.
- Clean the collected particles from the filter after treatment.
- Without a filter, some clumps may float which can then be removed using a net. Use when you have plenty of time to observe the fish and take action in the unlikely event of a reaction.
Don’t:
- Do not use when the dissolved oxygen may be low (e.g. at daybreak, in hot, humid or thundery weather, or within three hours of feeding).
- Do not use if there is nitrite in the water.
- Use PondLab test kits to monitor water quality.
- Caution: Failure to conduct a partial water change on extremely green water, “like pea soup”, may result in a rapid reduction in oxygen which could be dangerous to fish!
