Bacteria/Sludge Remover

A natural, beneficial, environmentally safe bacteria that is non-pathogenic, non-toxic and non-caustic. Microbe-lift PL creates a healthy environment in your pond and promotes faster fish growth. It improves dissolved oxygen levels and reduces hydrogen sulfide odors. Microbe-lift PL works in both high and low alkalinity. It metabolizes dead algae and dissolves away organic sludge.

• Contains photosynthetic bacteria
• Creates a cleaner environment for your pond
• Improves fish health, growth and longevity
• Promotes cycling of pond including nitrate elimination
• Seeds and maintains biological filter
• Safe for wildlife and pets that may drink out of pond
• Use when water temperatures are above 50F
• 2 years unopened shelf-life, 1 year opened

Specially formulated to accelerate the breakdown of leaves, small branches, and other accumulated dead organic waste. Microbe-Lift Spring/Summer Cleaner reduces buildup of dead leaves and residual organic sediment.

Features
• Helps to jump start your pond in the spring
• Reduces buildup of dead leaves and residual organic sediment
• Pre-measured, easy to handle and cost effective
• Natural nontoxic and noncaustic
• No water temperature restrictions

Formulated for the removal of organic bottom solids that are slow to degrade, especially helpful in ponds that have a rock or gravel bottom or where vacuuming is impractical. As organic solids accumulate on the pond bottom, they begin to break down releasing toxic gasses. These gaseous by-products can endanger fish, marine life and plants. Microbe-Lift Sludge Away reduces and eliminates potential harmful gaseous compounds and helps clarify your pond water at the same time.

Be aware, when added it will temporarily darken the water. The color can take up to 1-2 weeks to dissipate but is harmless to plants, fish or other inhabitants and will not harm humans or animals. The color is due to the type of bacteria necessary to biodegrade the more difficult buildup of debris and sludge. The bacteria must first solubilize the sludge before it can be biodegraded.  It is the solubilization process which discolors the water. Depending upon the amount of buildup to be solubilized, the discoloration time will vary.

Microbe-Lift Professional is a blend of microbes that contain specifically formulated strains of bacteria manufactured for use by landscape, irrigation and pond professionals. PBL is a combination of 3 products: PL 80%, Ensure 10% and TheraP 10%. The Ensure is for plants and TheraP is for fish. Designed for professional service people so they don’t have to carry 3 bottles from pond to pond.  

• Keeps your ponds clean and clear
• Reduces ammonia and nitrogen levels
• Seeds and maintains biological filters
• Remains effective over a wide range of pH conditions
• Reduces buildup of bird droppings, fish food and dead leaves
• Significantly reduces noxious odors.

1 quart treats a 1,000 gallon pond for two months (a 5,000 gallon pond requires 46 oz. for the same two month period)

Microbe-Lift Pond Bacterial Balancer contains naturally occurring, non-toxic microorganisms. It is safe for the environment, humans, lakes, rivers, pets and all filter systems.

Microbe-Lift Pond Bacterial Balancer is a spore-based blend of Bacillus species. These aerobic heterotraphs (organic degraders) provide the ability to quickly establish populations necessary for breaking down organic waste from fish, waterfowl, plants and other aquatic life in your pond and aid in quickly establishing a functional population in your pond's filter.

As a result, Microbe-Lift Pond Bacterial Balancer helps to keep water clean and control build-up of sludge or bottom solids. It also helps to establish denitrification- the biological conversion of nitrate to nitrogen gas- which bubbles harmlessly out of your pond, reducing the availability of soluble nitrogen which can stimulate unwanted growth in your pond.

Convenient, Easy-to-Use, Flip-Top Squeeze Bottle!

PL GEL is a technological breakthrough because it's the first product that puts the bacteria right where you want it and it stays there! PL/GEL will quickly attach to and populate any filter media including foam, strapping, floss, bio-balls, spring flo, ceramic media, etc. This will help to rapidly establish the necessary biological activity in your filter to stabilize your pond's environment quickly. It will also help restore this activity to your filter when you clean or change the media in your filter.

• Easily applies to the filter pads/media without running or getting messy.
• Contains the same spectrum of bacteria found in Microbe-Lift PL.
• Contains naturally occurring bio polymers, helping organisms quickly attach to the media allowing for an 80% reduction in filter start-up time.
• Helps to stabilize pond environment quickly upon start up and to eliminate transient instability that can occur when filter media is cleaned or replaced.
• Allows for more frequent cleaning of filters without subsequent instability if a pond has a high solids loading where frequent cleaning is beneficial.
• Reduces the frequency of cleaning by accelerating the breakdown of organic solids that can lead to high maintenance requirements.
• Helps to establish de-nitrification in the filter which can lower nitrate levels in the pond.
• 2 years unopened shelf-life, 1 year opened

A special formulation of bacteria designed to jump start bead filters. Contains the necessary types of bacteria to quickly establish a biofilm on the bead media and maintain the processes for optimum performance of bead filters. Contains photosynthetic bacteria.

New, dry bacteria used to improve water quality and clarity while buffering the pH. TAC also contains sea salt to help control pathogens and to induce a protective slime coating on fish.

This item contains peat.

Specifically designed for natural ponds. Creates a healthy environment for your pond, breaks down organic sludge and slime, reduces ammonia and nitrite levels and more. This proprietary formulation for larger rural lakes and ponds assists in the reduction of ammonia nitrogen levels, reduces odors and breaks down organic sludge.

Specially Formulated for Pond Winterization

Microbe-Lift Autumn/Winter Prep helps accelerate the decomposition of leaves, sediment and other organic matter during the fall and winter months. It will also jump start your pond to a healthier environment in the spring.

Microbe-Lift Autumn/Winter Prep is a two-part system of liquid bacteria and dry, water soluble packets containing a blend of cellulase enzymes, cellulase-producing bacteria and a cold weather bacteria. The cellulase enzymes, along with the cellulase-producing bacteria, are the key to accelerating the breakdown of leaves, organic sediment and sludge all winter long. Continues to provide sustained biological activity even in water temperatures under 40°F. (4°C.)
