Sparkle Pond Clarifying Clay

Sparkle is a quality Calcium Montmorillonite Clay used to flocculate organic impurities like proteins, oils, enzymes, etc. from fish ponds while adding essential minerals to the water. It disperses quickly and efficiently into water. A sparkling pond low in organics is the result.

Instructions: Mix the required dose in a bucket with some pond water and apply around the perimeter of the pond. Water may take a day or so to clear. Overdosing is not likely.

DOSAGE: Use 20g (a scoop or four or five teaspoons) per 1000 litre pond water.

NEW PONDS: Apply recommended dosage every second day for a month.

OLD PONDS: Apply the dosage once per week for as long as you wish.
