Aqua Balance GH/Kh Buffer Up

Aqua Balance GH/KH Buffer Up

Essential Mineral Buffer for Stable pH, Healthy Fish & Strong Biological Filtration

Aqua Balance GH/KH Buffer Up is a premium mineral supplement designed to increase and maintain General Hardness (GH) and Carbonate Hardness (KH) in ponds. By restoring essential minerals and buffering capacity, it helps stabilise pH levels, supports biological filtration, and creates a healthier environment for koi and ornamental fish.

Maintaining correct GH and KH levels is one of the most important aspects of pond management, helping to prevent dangerous pH fluctuations while supporting fish health, beneficial bacteria, and overall pond stability.

Maintains Stable pH Levels

KH represents the buffering capacity of pond water and plays a crucial role in pH stability.

Benefits include:

• Helps prevent pH crashes
• Stabilises water chemistry
• Maintains healthy pond conditions
• Supports long-term water balance
• Reduces stress on fish

A higher KH level helps protect the pond from sudden pH fluctuations.

Increases GH for Healthier Fish

General Hardness (GH) measures essential dissolved minerals such as calcium and magnesium.

Benefits include:

• Replenishes vital minerals
• Supports fish growth and development
• Improves fish wellbeing
• Supports healthy metabolism
• Enhances overall pond health

Recommended GH levels for healthy ponds are between 8° and 12°.

Supports Biological Filtration

Beneficial filter bacteria consume carbonates as part of the biological filtration process.

Benefits include:

• Supports nitrifying bacteria
• Improves biological filter performance
• Maintains efficient filtration
• Supports ammonia and nitrite processing
• Encourages healthy bacterial colonies

Maintaining KH above 5° is recommended for effective filtration.

Provides Essential Minerals

The balanced formula replenishes minerals often lost through filtration, water changes, and biological activity.

Benefits include:

• Restores calcium and magnesium
• Improves water quality
• Supports aquatic ecosystem balance
• Encourages healthy pond conditions
• Benefits fish and beneficial bacteria

Safe & Easy to Use

Aqua Balance GH/KH Buffer Up is simple to apply and safe for all pond inhabitants.

Features include:

• Safe for koi and pond fish
• Harmless to pets and wildlife
• Safe for plants and beneficial bacteria
• Easy mixing and application
• Safe even if accidentally overdosed

The water may temporarily become cloudy after application but will clear naturally.
