Microbe-Lift AQUA XTREME

Water conditioner and purifier support for safer pond top ups

Microbe-Lift AQUA XTREME is a single-phase, scientifically formulated liquid water conditioner designed for koi and goldfish ponds. It is ideal for conditioning new water, adding new fish or plants, transporting fish, and detoxifying chloramines, ammonia, and heavy metals in pond water. This full-function formula also supports pond alkalinity, reduces stress, and enhances slime coat health for fish. Detoxifies Water Effectively Removes harmful compounds and improves water safety for aquatic life.

Microbe-Lift AQUA XTREME 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.

Microbe-Lift biological products use selected bacterial cultures and seasonal formulas. Their Autumn/Winter Prep is specifically designed to continue breaking down leaves, sediment and organic material at lower temperatures below around 12°C.

Top-up and water change guidance

Use Microbe-Lift AQUA XTREME 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.

• 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.
