Product Information

Full details

The NT Labs Pond pH Stabiliser is designed for pond owners looking to maintain a consistent and safe pH level for their fish. It effectively replenishes carbonate hardness (KH), preventing harmful pH fluctuations, particularly in mature ponds or those with naturally soft water. While it is safe for all pond fish, regular testing is recommended for optimal results.

FAQs

How often should I use NT Labs Pond pH Stabiliser?

For maintenance, apply 50g per 1,000 litres every 2-4 weeks. Test your KH regularly, and adjust the frequency based on the results. If KH drops below 6 dKH, apply the maintenance dose or a slightly higher initial dose.

Can this product be used with other pond treatments?

Yes, NT Labs Pond pH Stabiliser is compatible with other NT Labs pond treatments. However, always follow the specific instructions for each product and avoid overdosing.

What is carbonate hardness (KH) and why is it important?

Carbonate hardness (KH) acts as a buffer in your pond water, resisting changes in pH. A stable KH level is essential for maintaining a consistent and safe pH for fish and other aquatic life.

How do I measure the correct dose for my pond?

First, accurately measure the volume of your pond in litres or gallons. Then, use the guide on the packaging or in this manual to determine the correct amount of powder based on your pond's volume and current KH levels.

Is this product safe for plants and invertebrates?

The product is safe for all pond fish species. While generally safe, it's best to avoid direct application onto delicate aquatic plants or sensitive invertebrates. Distribute evenly across the pond surface.

What should I do if my pond has very soft water naturally?

Ponds with naturally soft or low-mineral water are ideal candidates for this product. You may need to use the initial dose more frequently until a stable KH level of 6 dKH or higher is achieved and maintained.

How should I store the product?

Store NT Labs Pond pH Stabiliser in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets. Ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use.

Troubleshooting

pH levels remain unstable after application.

Ensure you have accurately measured the pond volume and the correct dosage. Check KH levels; if they are extremely low, a higher initial dose may be needed. Re-test after 24-48 hours. Consider increasing frequency of application if KH drops quickly.

Product seems to be ineffective.

Verify KH levels with a reliable test kit. Ensure the powder is fully dissolved before adding to the pond. Some ponds may have unique water chemistry requiring adjustments; consult with a pond specialist if problems persist.

Cloudy water after application.

This can occasionally happen, especially if the product is added too quickly or in large amounts. It usually clears on its own within 24-48 hours. Ensure good filtration and aeration are maintained.
