Aqua Source Aqua Balance Sphere

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

Place the sphere directly into the pond or filter where it can begin releasing beneficial bacteria. It can be used for monthly maintenance, after chemical treatments, during filter maturation or when ammonia and nitrite support is needed. Although the sphere supports biological filtration, it should not be used as a substitute for testing water. If ammonia or nitrite are present, reduce feeding and increase aeration while the filter catches up.

One sphere treats up to 30,000 litres Functions: ammonia support, nitrite support, sludge control and biological balance Use monthly for routine maintenance where suitable Useful after treatments, heavy feeding or filter disruption No need to switch off UV clarifiers Cannot be overdosed when used as directed

Biological treatments such as Aqua Source Aqua Balance Sphere 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 Sphere 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 Sphere 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.
