pH Increaser

This formulation will increase pH in pond and aquarium water.

Many factors in a pond or aquarium affect the water’s pH such as fish waste, excess fish food and decaying plant material. To increase the pH of the water add 1 fl. oz. per 60 gallons of pond water. Allow pond water to circulate for a minimum of 30 minutes, then retest. Redose as necessary to get the pond water to the desired pH.

When determining whether or not to increase pond water pH, always track the water’s pH over several days (at least 5 days), by measuring the pH at 8:00 am, 1:00 pm and 6:00 pm. Failure to determine the natural fluctuations in your pond’s pH, may result in a unnecessary and possibly dangerous altering of the pH. The pH reading of most ponds will fluctuate widely and naturally during a 24 hour period. Attempting to alter this natural daily fluctuation may be harmful to the aquatic life. Keep written records of all pH readings and the time of day each reading was taken. Be sure to use reliable (preferably dry reagent) pH test kits.

This formulation is compatible with most other water conditioners and antibiotics.
