Tetra Pond FilterStart activates the biological function of your pond filter after winter or when setting up a new pond. Furthermore, this product extends the intervals between cleaning. The living filter bacteria contained in Tetra Pond FilterStart reduce the pollutants ammonium and nitrite in the water. Special cleaning bacteria break down organic substances in the filter caused by fish waste and foliage in the pond water. These biological breakdown processes prevent decay and are important for maintaining a healthy biological balance. In addition to the positive effect on water quality, the product increases the pond filter’s service life, extending the intervals between cleaning. Tetra Pond FilterStart has a purely biological effect that ensures that the pond filter regains its full performance within only a few days, e.g. after filter cleaning, restarting particularly in the beginning of pond season in spring or following medical treatment. To achieve the best possible result, shake Tetra Pond FilterStart well before use and follow the detailed instructions. Thanks to the included dosing cap, Tetra Pond FilterStart can be dosed very easily. Use the dosing cap and add 100 ml per 1,000 l of pond water. Dilute the liquid with pond water in a container and slowly distribute the mixture over your filter media. Tetra Pond FilterStart can not be overdosed. Tetra recommends to leave for approximately one hour before restarting the filter. To maintain durability, store Tetra Pond FilterStart at room temperature. Do not expose the product to temperatures above 30 °C or below 2 °C.
