Aqua Source Aqua Balance KH Buffer Up

Biological pond treatment for filter support, sludge reduction and water balance

Use before treatments where stable water chemistry is important, after heavy rainfall, or as part of regular pond maintenance when KH readings are low. Continue testing and adjusting gradually until the desired KH level is reached. Beneficial filter bacteria consume carbonates during the nitrogen cycle, so maintaining adequate KH is particularly important in heavily stocked koi ponds.

Recommended dosage: 100g per 1,000 litres / 220 gallons Coverage: 1kg treats up to 10,000 litres / 2,200 gallons Maintenance: weekly maintenance dosing may be used where KH drops regularly Use when KH is low, before some pond treatments or after heavy rainfall Recommended for ponds where pH stability is difficult to maintain

Biological treatments such as Aqua Source Aqua Balance KH Buffer Up work best when the pond gives the bacteria the right conditions to establish. Use in chlorine-free water, maintain good oxygen levels and avoid dosing at the same time as strong chemical treatments unless the manufacturer says it is safe. They are especially useful after filter cleaning, new pond start-ups, medication courses, heavy feeding or seasonal waste build-up, where the biological system needs extra support.

Aqua Source Aqua Balance products cover live bacteria, filter gel, buffer minerals, clay, enzyme support and blanketweed treatments. Their range is aimed at biological balance, water stability and koi pond maintenance rather than one single cure-all treatment.

Biological support guidance

Use Aqua Source Aqua Balance KH Buffer Up when the pond or filter needs biological support, such as after cleaning, new filter installation, medication, heavy feeding or seasonal waste build-up. Do not expect bacterial treatments to instantly remove years of sludge; they work by supporting natural breakdown over time, especially when oxygen levels and water temperature are suitable.

How to use safely

The product label should always take priority over general guidance. The points below are included to help customers use Aqua Source Aqua Balance KH Buffer Up in a more careful and informed way.

Use only in dechlorinated water; chlorine can reduce bacterial activity.
Avoid dosing live bacteria at the same time as strong chemical medicines unless the label allows it.
Maintain strong aeration so bacteria and filter media have enough oxygen.
Allow time for biological products to work; sludge and waste will not disappear instantly.
Reapply after medication, deep cleaning or large water changes where the label recommends it.
Store the product as instructed and do not use if it has been damaged or contaminated.
