Gardeners will soon be thinking about bringing their ponds back to life so retailers should start stocking up on products like Colombo Bactuur water treatements.

During the winter months bacteria in a pond filter will die down or become dormant. It is essential to get the bacteria population restarted in the Spring to create a healthy pond environment in which fish and other aquatic life can thrive. 

Colombo has a range of products to help get a biological filter up to speed as well as decomposing sludge and organic waste.

Bactuur Filterstart contains live nitrifying bacteria (800million bacteria per ml), essential for starting a biological filter and for use after filter cleaning and maintenance.

Bactuur Clean contains a high concentration of heterotrophic bacteria (over 200million bacteria per ml). The bacteria in Bactuur Clean will quickly and effectively decompose sludge which has accumulated in the filter and on the bottom of the pond. As well as being unsightly, sludge adversely affects bacteria growth in the filter and general pond environment.

Bactuur Activator is a vegetable catalyst which contains essential nutrients to activate and improve the performance of bacteria in Bactuur Filterstart and Bactuur Clean. The use of Bactuur Activator accelerates the start up of new filters when combined with Bactuur Filterstart.

Supplied in high quality packaging with clear instructions for use Colombo Bactuur water treatments are available in 500ml, 1,000ml and 2,500ml packs.

Colombo have been manufacturing aquarium water treatments for over 30 years and have a comprehensive range of products to deal with all water quality and fish health problems.
