Product Information
Full details
Clear Waters Pond Sludge Remover is an ideal solution for pond owners looking to improve water clarity and biological health by naturally breaking down organic debris at the bottom of the pond. Designed for those struggling with fish waste, rotting vegetation, and leaf litter accumulation, this product effectively restores oxygen balance and limits the nutrients that fuel algae blooms. While it is safe for fish and wildlife, the treatment is most effective in well-aerated environments and requires consistent application throughout the warmer months to see lasting results.

FAQs
Is this product safe for my koi and goldfish?
Yes, Clear Waters Pond Sludge Remover is entirely safe for all pond fish species.
Can I use this in a wildlife pond without fish?
Yes, the product is perfectly safe for wildlife ponds, including frogs and insects.
How often should I use the treatment?
Use an initial dose to jumpstart the process, followed by a weekly maintenance dose of 25ml per 500 litres during the spring and summer.
Does this work in the winter?
Biological activity significantly slows down in cold water. It is most effective during the warmer months when bacteria are active.
Do I need to turn off my UV clarifier?
You do not need to turn off your equipment, as the bacteria are meant to inhabit the pond water and substrate, not the filter media exclusively.
Troubleshooting
Water appears cloudier after application
This is often temporary as sludge is broken down; ensure your filtration system is running and that the pond has adequate aeration.
No visible reduction in sludge levels
Verify that your pond is properly oxygenated. Bacteria require oxygen to consume sludge; if your water is stagnant, the treatment will be significantly less effective.
