The Bacterius
line of bacteria products
are known for their high-quality, pathogen-free cultures. Available in pond, lake
and water garden sized formats; the Bacterius line of pond products are easy-to-use
dry bacteria that are added to the pond to treat typical pond problems.
- Help reduce and eliminate the causes of algae without chemicals.
- Consume
and reduce the organic build-up on the pond bottom.
- Reduce phosphates, ammonia,
nitrates and nitrites.
- Reduce odors and dramatically improve the water clarity
of ponds lakes and watergardens.
Bacterius
Family of Products
The Bacterius™ family is full-spectrum line
of natural products that include mixtures of dry Bacillus bacterial cultures combined
to safely and naturally clarify water in lakes and ponds.
Bacterius
natural bacteria out-compete and prevent the proliferation of algae, aides in
the destruction of sedimentary muck and attacks the causes of foul odors from
organic growth. Another benefit of using Bacterius dry bacteria is that there
is no mixing or activating. Simply toss in the soluble bacteria-filled pouch into
your pond. Easy to apply with fast results. more information

CLEANING
YOUR POND NATURALLY
Natural water quality improvement is
largely dependent on teams of beneficial microorganisms. One group starts a process,
which is continued by others. It has been shown in scientific research that, even
in natural lakes, essential members of these microbial teams are not always present.
Time, location and the seasons will affect your pond often resulting in
bad smells and muck build-up. This is the natural aging process which, if left
un-checked will rapidly deteriorate the quality of your pond or lake. Adding safe
and natural bacteria which feeds on organic matter will drastically improve your
pond.
 There
are two kinds of aquatic pollution: insoluble and soluble. Lakes accumulate
solids from dead plants and animal wastes. Soluble pollutants, from fertilizers,
erosion and seepage, add phosphorus and nitrogen - nutrients for algae and weeds.
The plants convert, by photosynthesis, inorganic carbon dioxide into organic material.
Dead plants form organic sludge, the accumulation of which results in oxygen depletion
and release of noxious pollutants such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. Phosphorus
is also liberated for reuse by plants. Oxygen can be reduced to levels causing
fish kills. The stress caused by poor water quality also reduces fish growth and
makes them more susceptible to diseases.
One very common aquatic weed
problem in ponds is filamentous algae. The presence can degrade water quality
and the enjoyment and value of your pond. Excessive algae growth, if left unchecked
can cause oxygen depletion as it decomposes either as a result of natural die-off
or herbicide or fertilizer applications. Early and regular control is important
to reduce the problems like muck and foul odors associated with filamentous algae.
Filamentous algae, also known as "pond scum," forms dense hair like
strands that can form thick floating mats. Its growth begins on submerged objects
on the pond bottom. As it grows, algae gives off oxygen that becomes entrapped
in the mat of strands. This gives it buoyancy and causes it to rise to the surface
where it frequently covers large areas of the pond. Filamentous algae are often
a persistent problem because they reproduces by fragments, spores and cell division.
Treatment with a beneficial bacteria can solve this problem.
HOW
TO ADD YOUR BACTERIA
Adding Beneficial Organisms To Your Pond
The small pond pictured at
left was originally smaller and we enlarged it with excavation and surrounded
it with natural landscaping. To maintain clear water and reduce the organic build-up
from leaves and other sludge producing organic materials we started by adding
an aerator which can be seen lightly bubbling to the left in this photo. This
spring, after an evaluation of the water and pond-bottom showed typical muck build-up
and algae growth, we began the recommended treatment to restore the pond to a
healthy state. Without aeration the build-up of smelly sludge and organic muck
would have been much greater. Now, in this pond, the addition of bacteria will
render the pond clear and clean. click

 If
your pond has no natural source of quality aeration then installing
an aerator before adding beneficial bacteria is essential. The bacteria require
oxygen to survive so that they may live, grow and feed upon the organic materials
and algae in your pond. To mix the bacteria for your pond a large bucket is used
to mix the liquid bacteria in specified proportions with pond water. Do not use
chlorinated tap-water to mix your bacteria. Once the bacteria has been correctly
diluted and mixed you simply distribute the bacterial solution equally around
the perimeter of the pond. Treatments are usually performed once per week. We
will help you with the necessary dosage according to the size and topography of
your pond.
Dry bacteria come in soluble pouches and is simply tossed
into the pond near the aeration diffusers or any source of moving water to help
disperse the bacteria effectively throughout the water column.
