•Instantly neutralizes chlorine, copper, lead, and zinc found in tap and well water
•Instantly makes water safe for pond life
•Instantly makes tap and well water safe for pond life
•Use when setting up a pond or changing pond water
•Many tap water supplies used to fill garden ponds contain chlorine
•Chlorine makes water safe for drinking but it is highly toxic to pond life
•Chlorine destroys fish gill tissue, preventing the uptake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide, resulting in fish death
•Even low levels of chlorine irritate delicate skin tissue on frogs, snails, newts, and salamanders
•Certain metals, such as copper and zinc, are essential to pond life metabolism
•In elevated and unnatural levels, they become toxic and are classified as “heavy metals”
•Heavy metals include lead, copper, zinc, and manganese, which are prevalent in many water supplies
•Heavy metals sometimes enter tap water via lead and copper pipes, as well as the solder used to join the pipes
•Airborne pollutants can deposit heavy metals in the pond
•Heavy rains carry airborne metals into the pond and may accumulate to toxic levels
•Acid rain causes “unreactive” metals lying dormant in the pond to become toxic
•Heavy metal poisoning may occur slowly over time
•These metals can accumulate in the organs of aquatic life, causing a variety of psychological problems ultimately leading to disease outbreaks and death
•High levels of one or more of these heavy metals cause rapid death of fish and amphibians without obvious symptoms of disease of tissue damage
•Safe and non-toxic for fish, plants, and other pond life
•Add one teaspoonful (5 ml) for each 100 U.S. gallons (378 L) of water
•Treats 4,800 gallons per 8 ounces
