Unlike harsh chemical treatments that can stress or harm fish and aquatic plants, this entirely chemical-free formula works with nature rather than against it. Each pond bomb contains billions of live beneficial bacteria cultures and enzymes that rapidly colonise your pond filter, decompose organic waste, reduce harmful ammonia and nitrite levels, and outcompete the algae and harmful bacteria that cause murky green water. Treats ponds up to 20,000 litres per bomb — making it suitable for the vast majority of UK garden ponds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;max-width:600px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background:#1a5276;color:#fff;text-align:left;\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background:#1a5276;color:#fff;text-align:left;\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTreatment Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural beneficial bacteria (biological)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage per Unit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 20,000 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChemicals\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% Chemical-free formula\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorks In\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24–72 hours (visible improvement)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafe For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFish, plants, wildlife, pets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Used\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpring startup, after water changes, filter cleans\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle dissolvable bomb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable As\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle \/ 3-Pack \/ 6-Pack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e🦠 \u003cstrong\u003eBillions of live bacteria\u003c\/strong\u003e — rapidly colonise pond and filter media to establish healthy biological filtration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e💧 \u003cstrong\u003eCrystal clear water\u003c\/strong\u003e — targets the root causes of murky water: organic sludge, ammonia spikes, and algae\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e🚫 \u003cstrong\u003e100% chemical-free\u003c\/strong\u003e — completely safe for koi, goldfish, aquatic plants, frogs, newts and other wildlife\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e⚡ \u003cstrong\u003eFast-acting\u003c\/strong\u003e — visible water clarity improvement within 24–72 hours in most conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e🌱 \u003cstrong\u003eReduces pond sludge\u003c\/strong\u003e — beneficial bacteria break down decomposing organic matter from the pond bottom\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e🔬 \u003cstrong\u003eBoosts biological filtration\u003c\/strong\u003e — supercharges your existing pond filter with billions of helpful microorganisms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e📅 \u003cstrong\u003eIdeal for spring startup\u003c\/strong\u003e — perfect for reactivating pond biology after winter dormancy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e🌿 \u003cstrong\u003eSupports aquatic plants\u003c\/strong\u003e — balanced water chemistry promotes healthier plant growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to Use Pond Bomb Treatment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring pond startup after winter — reactivate biological filtration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAfter cleaning or replacing filter media — restore beneficial bacteria colonies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFollowing water changes — re-balance the biological ecosystem\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhen water turns green or murky — rapid bacterial boost\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAfter treating fish for disease — restore bacteria killed by medication\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNew pond setup — accelerate biological cycling process\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSummer heatwaves — maintain oxygen levels and biological balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCalculate your pond volume\u003c\/strong\u003e — length × width × average depth (in metres) × 1000 = litres\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrop the bomb\u003c\/strong\u003e — simply drop directly into your pond near the waterfall or filter inlet for best distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDo not disturb\u003c\/strong\u003e — avoid major water changes or filter cleaning for 5–7 days after treatment to allow bacteria to establish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurn off UV sterilisers\u003c\/strong\u003e — UV light kills beneficial bacteria;

Blanket weed (Cladophora or Spirogyra) is the bane of UK pond keepers, spreading rapidly in warm, nutrient-rich water and quickly smothering pumps, filters, aquatic plants and pond liners. Left untreated, it depletes oxygen, traps fish and chokes the natural balance of your pond ecosystem. Our concentrated liquid formula gets to work immediately on contact, targeting the blanket weed's cellular structure and breaking it down within days — without harming your fish, aquatic plants, frogs or other pond wildlife when used as directed. At 1 litre treating up to 10,000 litres of pond water, it offers exceptional value and consistent, professional results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;max-width:600px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background:#1b2631;color:#fff;text-align:left;\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background:#1b2631;color:#fff;text-align:left;\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTreatment Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConcentrated liquid algae\/blanket weed treatment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 litre treats up to 10,000 litres of pond water\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTarget Algae\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlanket weed, filamentous algae, green water algae\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAction Speed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFast-acting — visible results within days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafe For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFish and wildlife when used as directed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormula\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConcentrated liquid — easy to measure and apply\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1L \/ 2.5L \/ 5L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Method\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDilute and apply directly to pond water\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e⚡ \u003cstrong\u003eFast-acting formula\u003c\/strong\u003e — starts working on contact with algae;

Chemicals\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue pond dye is a natural, fish-safe colourant that reduces algae growth by limiting the sunlight reaching the lower water column. Rather than killing algae chemically, it works by starving it of the light energy it needs to photosynthesise — an elegant, low-intervention approach that's safe for koi, goldfish, newts, frogs, and all aquatic plants. A single treatment colours the water a rich natural blue and remains effective for four to six weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Pond Keepers Use Dye Instead of Algaecide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChemical algaecides kill algae rapidly — which sounds ideal until you consider what happens next. Large-scale algae die-off consumes enormous amounts of dissolved oxygen as bacteria decompose the dead matter. In a warm, heavily stocked pond this can trigger a dangerous oxygen crash overnight. Blue pond dye avoids this entirely: it suppresses algae growth gradually rather than killing it all at once, keeping your water chemistry stable and your fish safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dye is also completely non-toxic to pond life at the correct dose rate. It does not accumulate in fish tissue, does not affect filter bacteria, and breaks down naturally through UV exposure and rainfall dilution. It leaves no chemical residue and has no withdrawal period before the water is safe for wildlife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Apply Pond Dye Correctly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor even distribution, pre-dilute the measured amount in a bucket of pond water before pouring slowly around the pond perimeter. Natural water circulation will carry the dye throughout the pond within a few hours. Apply in the morning when water is well oxygenated. Reapply every four to six weeks during the growing season, or after significant rainfall has diluted the colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCoverage Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePack Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTreats Up To\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10,000 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmall garden ponds and patio water features\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25,000 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedium koi and wildlife ponds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 Litre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50,000 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLarge ponds, lakes, and water gardens\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePaired Treatments for Best Results\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePond dye is most effective as part of a balanced maintenance routine. Combine it with regular pond vacuuming to reduce nutrient-rich sludge, oxygenating plants to compete with algae biologically, and — if you have a heavily stocked koi pond — a UV clarifier for suspended algae. Together, these approaches address algae growth from multiple angles without relying on repeated chemical dosing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs blue pond dye safe for koi and goldfish?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, completely. The formula is non-toxic to all pond fish at the recommended dose rate. It has been used in fisheries management and ornamental pond keeping for decades with no adverse effects on fish health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it stain my pond liner or stonework?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTemporary light staining of pale liners is possible at the edges but fades naturally. Pre-diluting before application and avoiding pouring directly onto liner surfaces minimises any contact concentration. Stone and concrete edging may show a slight tint that weathers away over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it work on blanket weed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is less effective on blanket weed (filamentous algae) than on suspended algae, since blanket weed grows at the surface where light is strongest. It is most useful for suppressing suspended algae (green water) and reducing the overall algae pressure in the pond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it safe for birds and wildlife drinking from the pond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The colourant is water-safe and wildlife-safe at the recommended concentration. It is used in conservation pond management specifically because it poses no risk to visiting wildlife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow quickly will the colour fade?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a typical UK summer, colour intensity diminishes over four to six weeks through UV photodegradation and rainfall dilution.

In heavily stocked ponds or during summer, you may need to recharge or replace more frequently. Test your water weekly with an ammonia test kit — if ammonia rises above 0.25mg\/L, recharge or replace the pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this in a salt water pond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Zeolite releases ammonia back into the water in the presence of salt, which is why salt is used for recharging. Do not use zeolite pouches in ponds treated with pond salt at levels above 1g\/L, as this will cause the zeolite to release rather than absorb ammonia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes zeolite affect beneficial bacteria?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — zeolite does not harm the nitrifying bacteria in your filter. It provides complementary protection by directly absorbing ammonia from the water, reducing the load on your biological filter and protecting fish during filter maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many pouches do I need for my pond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a guide, use one standard pouch per 500–1000 litres of pond water. For heavily stocked koi ponds, use the 4-Pack and rotate pouches on a recharge schedule so you always have active media in the pond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use zeolite pouches alongside my existing filter media?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, zeolite works excellently alongside biological and mechanical filter media.

Chloramine — a combination of chlorine and ammonia — is far more stable and doesn't dissipate with aeration or standing. This is why fish can be harmed even in water that's been left overnight. This conditioner handles both, providing complete protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes tap water really harm fish that quickly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Untreated tap water can cause gill damage and acute stress within minutes of exposure. In severe cases — particularly with chloramine — fish can show signs of distress almost immediately. Always treat tap water before it contacts your fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much conditioner do I need per litre of water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow the dosing instructions on the bottle for the specific volume of new water you're adding. This is a concentrated formula so a small amount treats a significant volume.

These minerals are critical for nerve function, muscle contraction, and the process of osmoregulation — the mechanism fish use to maintain the correct salt\/water balance in their bodies. Regular water changes can deplete electrolyte levels, particularly in soft water areas. Adding an electrolyte-rich conditioner with every water change ensures your fish always have access to the minerals they need to thrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAmmonia Detoxification: What It Means\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis conditioner temporarily detoxifies ammonia by converting it from the highly toxic free ammonia form (NH3) to the less toxic ionised form (NH4+). This buys critical time during water changes and ammonia emergencies while your biological filter processes the ammonia through the nitrogen cycle. It is not a permanent ammonia remover — it complements rather than replaces your biological filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan this conditioner replace my regular dechlorinator?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — this multi-action conditioner includes all the functions of a standard dechlorinator plus additional benefits including electrolyte supplementation and ammonia detoxification. It is an upgrade that simplifies your pond care routine by replacing multiple separate products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does electrolyte supplementation help koi fish?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoi and goldfish need electrolytes to maintain healthy gill function and regulate their internal chemistry. In soft water areas where tap water is low in minerals, regular water changes can actually deplete pond electrolyte levels. Supplementing with each water change ensures fish have optimal mineral availability, supporting immunity, vitality, and colour development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this conditioner clear green water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — this is a water conditioner, not an algae treatment. Green water is caused by suspended algae blooms and requires a separate treatment or UV clarifier. This conditioner focuses on water chemistry and fish safety rather than algae control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the ammonia detoxification effect permanent?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ammonia detoxification effect is temporary, typically lasting 24–48 hours. It is designed to provide a safety window during water changes or ammonia spikes while your biological filter processes the ammonia. It does not permanently remove ammonia from the pond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I know which size to choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 473ml is ideal for small garden ponds up to about 3,000 litres with monthly water changes.

After each recharge cycle, test your water with an ammonia test kit — if ammonia begins rising despite the pouch being present, it's time to replace it rather than recharge it again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat concentration of salt should I use for recharging?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse non-iodised salt at approximately 25g per litre of water. Soak the pouch for a full 24 hours, then rinse very thoroughly with fresh water to remove all salt before returning to the pond. Never return a salt-soaked pouch to the pond without thorough rinsing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo these pouches work in cold water during winter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZeolite's ion exchange process is less efficient at cold temperatures, but it still provides useful ammonia absorption even in winter. During very cold periods when fish metabolism slows and ammonia production drops, the reduction in efficiency is often offset by the lower ammonia load from fish in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use these alongside other filter media?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — these pouches are complementary to your existing biological, mechanical, and chemical filter media. They do not replace a biological filter but provide an important additional layer of ammonia protection, particularly during filter maturation, after medication, or during high fish density periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I know when the zeolite has been exhausted?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most reliable indicator is your water test results. If ammonia begins rising above 0.25mg\/L despite the pouches being in place and recently recharged, the zeolite capacity has been exhausted. Test weekly with a quality ammonia test kit to monitor effectiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PondLiners Co","offers":[{"title":"Twin Pack","offer_id":57667537076572,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-Pack","offer_id":57667537109340,"sku":null,"price":159.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/2035\/9260\/files\/1d0c03acff1a9ac026e601b39fd07398.jpg?v=1779047871"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.pondlinersco.co.uk\/collections\/pond-treatments-water-care.oembed","provider":"PondLinersco.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
