FAQs
How often should I use Colombo Phosphate X?
It is recommended to use Colombo Phosphate X once a week, or as needed, to maintain optimal nutrient levels and prevent algae growth.
What is the correct dosage for my pond?
The recommended dosage is 50ml of Phosphate X per 1,000 liters of pond water. Always measure your pond's volume accurately.
Do I need to do anything before adding Phosphate X?
Yes, it is recommended to perform a partial water change (approximately 25%) before adding Colombo Phosphate X to the pond.
Is this product safe for my fish and plants?
Yes, Colombo Phosphate X is formulated to be safe for fish and plants when used according to the dosage instructions.
How does Phosphate X help with algae?

Can I use Phosphate X if I have a very green pond?
Yes, Phosphate X can help reduce the nutrient load causing the green water. However, for severely affected ponds, multiple applications and a partial water change before each use will yield the best results.
What is the shelf life of Colombo Phosphate X?

Troubleshooting
Algae persists after treatment
Ensure a partial water change was performed before application. Check if the dosage was correct for your pond volume. Phosphate and nitrate levels may require several treatments to significantly reduce, especially in heavily polluted ponds. Consider other factors contributing to algae, such as overfeeding fish or excessive sunlight.
Product does not seem to be working
Verify the pond volume and the amount of product added. Double-check the expiry date of the product. Extreme levels of phosphates or nitrates might require multiple applications over several weeks. Ensure the product was added directly to the water and not filtered out immediately.
Fish appear stressed after application
This is unlikely if used as directed. Ensure the correct dosage was applied and no other harsh chemicals were added simultaneously. Improve aeration in the pond if stressed behavior is observed. If concerns persist, perform a partial water change.
