Aqua Balance KH Buffer Up

Aqua Balance KH Buffer Up

Essential Carbonate Hardness Booster for Stable pH & Healthy Pond Water

Aqua Balance KH Buffer Up is a premium pond water treatment formulated to increase and maintain Carbonate Hardness (KH), helping to stabilise pH levels and support a healthy aquatic environment. KH, also known as Total Alkalinity, plays a crucial role in preventing dangerous pH fluctuations and supporting the biological filtration process.

Regular use helps maintain a stable pond ecosystem, protects fish from pH stress, and ensures beneficial filter bacteria have the carbonate resources they need to function effectively.

Maintains Stable pH Levels

KH acts as the pond’s natural buffering system, helping to prevent sudden changes in pH.

Benefits include:

• Stabilises pond pH
• Helps prevent pH crashes
• Reduces fish stress
• Improves water quality stability
• Supports long-term pond health

Maintaining adequate KH levels is essential for a healthy and balanced pond environment.

Supports Biological Filtration

Beneficial filter bacteria continuously consume carbonates as part of the nitrogen cycle.

Benefits include:

• Supports biological filtration
• Helps beneficial bacteria thrive
• Improves filter efficiency
• Supports ammonia and nitrite processing
• Maintains healthy biological activity

A KH level above 5° is generally recommended for optimal filter performance.

Essential After Heavy Rainfall

Rainwater can dilute carbonate hardness and reduce pond buffering capacity.

Benefits include:

• Replenishes lost carbonates
• Restores water stability
• Protects against pH fluctuations
• Supports pond recovery after rainfall
• Maintains healthy water parameters

Regular monitoring and buffering can help prevent water quality issues.

Ideal Before Pond Treatments

Many pond treatments perform best when water chemistry is stable.

Recommended before:

• Blanket weed treatments
• Water treatments
• Chemical applications
• Corrective pond maintenance
• Seasonal pond care

A stable KH level helps ensure more predictable and effective treatment results.

Safe & Easy to Use

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

Features include:

• Safe for fish
• Harmless to pets
• Wildlife friendly
• Easy application
• Suitable for routine maintenance

Can be used regularly to maintain stable water conditions throughout the year.
