Product Information

Alps Eco Pond Clear is a non-toxic sludge remover and pond water clarifier, suitable for all types of natural and ornamental ponds. Derived from a patented bio organic catalyst Alps Eco Pond Clear removes suspended particulate’s and biofilm from ponds, clarifying the water and reducing filter cleaning. If your pump didn’t come with a filter, I highly recommend you get a universal pond pump filter box. It will make keeping your pond water clear (and general pond maintenance) so much easier!

Before you even consider buying pond plants, the key to success is to first understand the types of pond plants which can be added. Activated carbon is an effective and safe method for neutralizing a range of organic substances which can cause water discolouration, including tannin, proteins, and fertilizers. The most common cause of brown water problems is the leeching of organic color, called tannin, into the surrounding water from decomposing organic matter (i.e., leaves). Although carbon can’t remove the debris itself, it can help improve clarity by reducing the free-swimming tannin which gives the water a brownish appearance. Likewise, cloudy or milky water is often caused by excess fertilizer substances, such as phosphates, or excess proteins which can leech from fish feeding. Both these types of substances are organic in nature and activated carbon works very well for reducing the quantity in water with continued treatment. If you're new to this hobby, you may wonder about the best way to buy your fish. While visiting a local fish store is a popular choice, there's another option...

Excess pond fish food, sludge and debris, poorly functioning pond filters and the growth of algae (or the dreaded blanket weed!) all impact the clarity and condition of your water.
