These pond balls are eco-friendly and non-toxic. Instant cleaners have their place but often the results are short-lived. These balls, added to a pond, the gel balls will deteriorate and over a few weeks help create a stable and self-sufficient pond eco-system over the season, which in turn stop the build-up of green water, algae and blanketweed, while balancing the nutrient and chemical levels and avoids continued use of cleaners.

The Barley Straw Balls are a mess-free alternative to adding Barley Straw to a pond. 100g will treat around 500ltrs of pond water. The balls directly release a natural chemical (produced when barley rots) into the pond water, which inhibits algae growth. The gel balls have the obvious benefit of being mess-free and do not add organic material to the pond like traditional barley straw bundles.

The Bacteria Balls are just as crucial as they contain helpful bacteria to nourish the pond eco-system. As the bacteria balls deteriorate into the pond water, the bacteria is released and forms colonies which remain in your pond long-term, as a permanent biological balancer for your pond, removing ammonia and nitrate build-up. 100g will treat up to 1000ltrs. Ideally used alongside Alfagrog, Pumice or other pond media.

Can be used in filters or directly into pond water. Can also be used alongside instant cleaner to create a long-term stable pond environment.
