Tetra launches Pond FilterStart Bacteria to restore biological balance

Tetra has launched Pond FilterStart Bacteria, a water conditioner which combines two types of natural, highly active bacteria to ensure optimal pond care.

 

By activating pond filters and reducing filter mud levels, the solution is able to boost effective biological filtration and eliminate ammonia and nitrite. This in turn not only improves the service life of your customer’s filter, but also makes ongoing pond maintenance and cleaning much easier.

 

A properly functioning filter is crucial to maintain a pond’s biological balance as beneficial and helpful filter bacteria collect in the filter materials to break down pollutants and organic substances.

 

However, as most filter bacteria are lost through the regular cleaning required or after dormant periods, such as winter, Tetra’s Pond FilterStart is a perfect product to kick start pond season as the water temperatures rise above 10oC1, helping to replenish lost bacteria to restore biological balance in garden ponds.

 

Organic pollutants can build up in the pond filter due to fish waste, food remains and fallen leaves. The cleaning bacteria efficiently break down organic waste in the filter. In doing so, Tetra Pond FilterStart extends the intervals between cleaning and increases the filter’s service life. It also contains bacteria from Tetra’s own biofarm to break down harmful substances.

 

These bacteria are responsible for breaking down ammonia and nitrite, which are toxic for fish. With its mix of natural bacteria, Tetra Pond FilterStart quickly restores the biological balance in your garden pond.

 

Ashleigh Foster, Aquatics Marketing Manager at Tetra comments; ‘We’re excited to launch our new Pond FilterStart Bacteria water conditioner, which makes caring for ponds and fish even easier than before. Our solution, which includes bacteria from our very own biofarm, helps to break down harmful substances including organic pollutants that can build up in the pond filter during winter due to fish waste, food remains and foliage to ensure waters are biologically balanced.”

 

The Tetra Pond FilterStart Bacteria conditioner is available in 500ml and 1L bottles from February with an RRP of £162 and £26.702.
