Full details

It is specifically formulated to eradicate Trichodina and Costia while serving as a reliable disinfectant for pond equipment. While highly effective, users must exercise caution with dosage accuracy and be prepared for temporary water discolouration, as it requires careful application to maintain the delicate balance of the pond ecosystem.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this as a dip treatment for fish?

No, this product should not be used as a dip treatment.

How long does the water stay discoloured?

The water typically remains discoloured for up to 7 days during the treatment process.

Does this treat all pond parasites?

It is specifically targeted at Trichodina and Costia, though it acts as a general disinfectant for water surfaces.

What should I do if I want the brown water to clear faster?

You can add Kusuri Hydrogen Peroxide 6% to the pond to neutralize the oxidation process and clear the water.

Is it safe to use in cold water?

Yes, it is effective in water temperatures down to 10°C.

How should I measure the dosage for my pond?

The dosage is 6.8g per 1000 gallons of pond water. Ensure you have an accurate measurement of your total pond volume.

Troubleshooting

Water turned dark brown after application

This is a normal side effect of the oxidation process; the water will naturally clear within 7 days.

Fish appear stressed or gasping at the surface

This indicates oxygen depletion. Increase aeration immediately and use Hydrogen Peroxide to neutralize the Potassium Permanganate and re-oxygenate the water.

Product is clumping in the container

The powder has likely been exposed to moisture. Keep the lid sealed tightly and store it in a dry environment.
