Why Use Algae Pad?
Algae Pad has a unique 4-way action
Environmental Control
Algae Pad containd 2 inorganic buffers which help to reduce and control the ph level in your pond. When the ph is lowered algae production is visibly reduced. Environmental control is also achieved by removing the nutrients Algae feeds on from the water.
Mechanical Control
Algae Pad will trap nutrients from pond water. Enzymes contained in the pad aid the breakdown of these nutrients. Natural extracts also help the biological breakdown of suspended algae species
Chemical Control
Algae Pad is impregnated with with powerful flocculating agents which cause algae to quickly clump together and sink to the bottom of the pond
Biological Control
Place the Algae Pad in any chamber of an external biological filter. The open cell strucure of the pad ensures planktonic algae are trapped. Green Water is thus removed from the pond.
