These chemicals are harmless to humans but toxic to fish, damaging their gills, disrupting their immune systems, and causing acute stress. Without proper dechlorination, even a small water change can set back your pond's biological balance and harm your fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstantly neutralises chlorine and chloramines\u003c\/strong\u003e — makes tap water safe for fish immediately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural aloe vera formula\u003c\/strong\u003e — promotes slime coat health and regeneration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReduces fish stress\u003c\/strong\u003e — essential during water changes, handling, and transport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePromotes wound healing\u003c\/strong\u003e — helps minor fin and body abrasions heal faster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy metal detoxification\u003c\/strong\u003e — binds and neutralises harmful metals in tap water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafe for all pond fish\u003c\/strong\u003e — koi, goldfish, orfe, tench, and all coldwater species\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for ponds of all sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — from 500L garden ponds to large koi ponds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply directly to your pond during water changes or when adding new tap water.

Chlorine and chloramines are neutralised within seconds of adding the conditioner to your pond water. You can safely add fish as soon as the conditioner has been thoroughly mixed into the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use tap water conditioner in a large koi pond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. This conditioner is suitable for ponds of all sizes. For large koi ponds, simply scale the dose according to the volume of new tap water being added. The 946ml bottle is ideal for large ponds with frequent water changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs aloe vera safe for koi fish?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, aloe vera is completely safe for koi, goldfish, and all other pond fish. In fact, it's beneficial — it naturally supports the protective slime coat that fish rely on to fight disease and regulate their environment. The aloe vera in this formula is specially processed for aquatic use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to add conditioner every time I top up the pond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Even small top-ups with tap water introduce chlorine and chloramines. While very small volumes pose less risk, it's always best practice to treat any tap water before it enters your pond. This is especially important in summer when evaporation means more frequent top-ups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this during fish treatment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a disease treatment course, this conditioner can help support recovery by promoting slime coat regeneration. However, avoid using alongside active treatments without checking compatibility. Always follow disease treatment instructions first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PondLiners Co","offers":[{"title":"237ml","offer_id":57667522396508,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"473ml","offer_id":57667522429276,"sku":null,"price":59.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"946ml","offer_id":57667522462044,"sku":null,"price":99.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/2035\/9260\/files\/c3bebb0be0d7bfe95c7d486b386a5f76.jpg?v=1779047545","url":"https:\/\/www.pondlinersco.co.uk\/products\/pond-stress-coat-water-conditioner-uk-reduces-fish-stress-heals-wounds-tap-water-safe","provider":"PondLinersco.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
