Aqua Source Aqua Balance Vitalize

Water conditioner and purifier support for safer pond top ups

Use Vitalize when fish have been through a stressful event or when new water is being added to the pond. It is also useful after treatments where fish need support returning to normal behaviour and feeding. The product can be used without switching off UV clarifiers, but the label should still be followed carefully for dosage and application.

Available sizes: 1 litre and 2.5 litres Standard treatment: 1 litre treats up to 20,000 litres Standard treatment: 2.5 litres treat up to 50,000 litres Dechlorinator use: 20ml per 1,000 litres of new water Potassium permanganate neutralising: 20ml per 1,000 litres Additional brown water clearing dose: 20ml per 1,000 litres if required

Aqua Source Aqua Balance Vitalize is most useful when new tap water, top-up water or a sudden contamination risk needs to be made safer for fish and filter bacteria. Chlorine and chloramine can damage fish gills and biological filtration, while heavy metals or source water impurities can add extra stress. For large water changes, always match the purifier or dechlorinator capacity to the amount of water being added.

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.

Top-up and water change guidance

Use Aqua Source Aqua Balance Vitalize before untreated source water can affect fish or biological filtration. New water should be added at a sensible rate, especially on koi ponds, so temperature, pH and chlorine/chloramine changes do not shock the system. For purifier cartridges or carbon units, replace media when capacity is reached rather than relying on old exhausted material.

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 Vitalize in a more careful and informed way.

Dose or size the purifier for the amount of new water being added, not just the total pond size.
Run new tap water slowly through purifier units to maximise contact time.
Replace cartridges, carbon or media when exhausted rather than relying on old media.
Check chlorine or chloramine if fish show stress after a water change.
Do not assume untreated tap water is safe for koi or filter bacteria.
Keep purifier equipment clean and protected from frost where relevant.
