Calculate Pond Size: Length x Width x Average Depth x 7.5 = Gallons Frequently Asked Questions Q: When should I start using this? A: Begin weekly applications when water temperature drops below 55°F in fall. Resume in early spring when ice melts to replenish bacteria. Q: Can I use this with regular summer bacteria? A: Yes, transition from warm-water bacteria as temperatures drop. Standard bacteria become less effective below 55°F. Q: Is this safe for fish during winter? A: Completely safe for fish, plants, birds, and pets. Helps maintain water quality when biological filtration slows. Q: How do I apply the packets? A: Toss the water-soluble packet into your pond near the waterfall or circulation area. It dissolves and distributes bacteria throughout the system. Q: Will this prevent spring algae blooms? A: By breaking down organic debris over winter and replenishing bacteria in spring, this helps reduce nutrient loads that fuel algae growth.
