FAQs
How do I calculate my pond volume for dosage?
Multiply the average length x width x depth (in meters) x 1000 to get the volume in liters.
Is this product safe for all fish types?
While generally safe, some sensitive species may react poorly; research your specific fish species prior to use.
Can I use this with other pond treatments?
It is not recommended to mix treatments unless specified; wait at least 48 hours between different chemical applications.
How often should I apply this treatment?
Apply only as needed based on the health status of the pond and the instructions on the product label.
Does the solution expire?
Check the bottle for a batch-specific expiry date and keep the cap tightly closed when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Water appears cloudy after treatment
This is often a temporary reaction; ensure filtration is running and increase aeration until the water clears.
Inhabitants showing signs of distress
Perform a partial water change (20-30%) immediately and ensure maximum oxygenation of the pond water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before applying, calculate the exact volume of your pond in liters or gallons to prevent overdosing. The solution should be added slowly to a high-flow area of the pond, such as near a waterfall or filter outlet, to ensure rapid dilution. Store the bottle in a cool, dark, and dry place, safely away from children and pets. When handling, wear gloves and avoid contact with eyes or skin. Always verify that your current pond inhabitants are compatible with formaldehyde-based treatments by checking their specific sensitivity profiles before the first application.
