Dive into Clean and Safe Waters with API Pond Aqua Essential Water Conditioner

Protect Your Pond's Precious Inhabitants

Introducing the API Pond Aqua Essential Water Conditioner, your pond's ultimate guardian. This highly concentrated, all-in-one water conditioner is your answer to instantly transforming tap water into a safe haven for your aquatic friends. Say goodbye to chlorine and chloramine, and bid adieu to those troublesome heavy metals commonly lurking in tap water. Ensure your pond is a sanctuary for your fish with every use.

Combat the Silent Pond Killers

Ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite, the silent killers of ponds, meet their match with API Pond Aqua Essential. Fish continuously release ammonia through their gills, urine, and waste, while uneaten food and decaying organic matter add to the ammonia burden. Small amounts of ammonia stress your fish, and excessive amounts can be fatal. But fear not, our unique formula swiftly bonds with ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, rendering them completely non-toxic. This transformation allows your pond's biofilter to work its magic, efficiently removing these harmful compounds.

Versatile and Essential for Every Pond Owner

Whether you're starting up your pond, adding or changing water, or facing high levels of ammonia, nitrates, or nitrites, API Pond Aqua Essential is your trusty companion. Keep your aquatic haven pristine and your fish healthy by using it whenever needed. And for those special moments when you're introducing new fish to your pond, transporting them, or setting up a quarantine area, pair it up with API Pond STRESS COAT water conditioner for the ultimate pond care.

Q: Will API Pond AQUA ESSENTIAL have any impact on my pond's protein skimmers?

A: API Pond AQUA ESSENTIAL will not interfere with any type of protein skimmer.

Q: Is there a risk of overdosing on my pond with Pond AQUA ESSENTIAL?

A: While we recommend following the dosing instructions for Pond AQUA ESSENTIAL, the product formulation allows for a slight margin of error in case the pond is accidentally dosed with a slightly higher amount than specified.

Q: Can I safely use Pond AQUA ESSENTIAL in my pond with other aquatic animals like snails or turtles?

A: Yes, it is safe to use Pond AQUA ESSENTIAL alongside other aquatic animals.

Q: Can I combine Pond AQUA ESSENTIAL with other API products?

A: Pond AQUA ESSENTIAL can be used in conjunction with any other API water conditioner or medication.

Q: Will Pond AQUA ESSENTIAL affect the pH of my pond?

A: When dosed according to the label instructions, Pond AQUA ESSENTIAL will not impact the pH of your pond.

Q: Is it advisable to double the dosage of Pond AQUA ESSENTIAL if I have elevated chloramine levels?

A: Pond AQUA ESSENTIAL is formulated to treat chloramines effectively without the need for a double dose. However, if you prefer to double dose, it is not harmful, although it is not necessary.

Q: How long should I wait between doses of Pond AQUA ESSENTIAL?

A: After administering a dose to the pond, it is recommended to wait 24 to 48 hours before administering another dose.

Q: How long will Pond AQUA ESSENTIAL bind ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate?

A: Once Pond AQUA ESSENTIAL is applied, it will bind ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate for up to 48 hours or longer. Testing is the best way to determine if additional dosing is required. In conditions with highly elevated levels, overstocked fish populations, or excessive feeding, we recommend a partial water change after 24 hours to maintain the best water quality. Additionally, any ammonia or nitrite bound by Pond AQUA ESSENTIAL remains available for beneficial bacteria to process, so your biological filters can continue functioning effectively.

Q: How much ammonia can be removed per dose of Pond AQUA ESSENTIAL?

A: When treating for ammonia with a 5 mL/10 gal. dose of Pond AQUA ESSENTIAL, you can anticipate a reduction of 20-40 ppm in ammonia, depending on the accuracy of your pond volume measurement.

Q: How much nitrite can be removed per dose of Pond AQUA ESSENTIAL?

A. For nitrite treatment, a 5 mL/10 gal. dose of Pond AQUA ESSENTIAL should lead to a reduction of 15-30 ppm in nitrite, based on your pond volume measurement accuracy.

Q: How much nitrate can be removed per dose of Pond AQUA ESSENTIAL?

A. When treating for nitrate, a 5 mL/10 gal. dose of Pond AQUA ESSENTIAL should result in a significant reduction of nitrate, approximately 40-60 ppm, depending on the accuracy of your pond volume measurement.
