• Safely Raises and Maintains Carbonate Hardness (KH)

• Aids Nitrifying Bacteria in Reducing Ammonia

• Phosphate-Free

• Promotes Fish Health

Fritz Pond Alkalinity Booster is a safe and effective way to raise pond alkalinity. Fritz Pond Alkalinity Booster contains a full spectrum of buffering agents, helping to prevent “pH bounce.” Alkalinity is the measure of the ability of water to hold a pH of 7.0 or above. Low alkalinity levels may result in pH fluctuations. Regular use of Fritz Pond Alkalinity Booster will help keep alkalinity levels above 80 ppm; aiding nitrifying bacteria to effectively reduce ammonia levels.

Adjustment Dosage: Use 1 tablespoon per 120 U.S. gallons (454 L) or 1 cup per 2,000 U.S. gallons (7,570 L). Test total alkalinity in pond before use. If pond reads below 120 ppm, add 1 cup per 2,000 gallons of water or one tablespoon per 300 gallons. Wait two hours, retest alkalinity levels, retreat if necessary until desired level is reached. Limit change in alkalinity to 40 ppm per day or less. For best results, spread dosage over several days. Ideal alkalinity is between 120−240 ppm. Do not exceed 400 ppm.

• For best results, dissolve Fritz Pond Alkalinity Booster in separate container of pont water before dosing to high flow area of the pond
• No equipment restrictions necessary
• No contraindications: can be used with all of our other products and meds
• Safe for invertebrates
• Dry products measured by volume (teaspoons, cups, etc) will always give approximate results - use a gram scale if available. If a gram scale is not available, be sure to test for correct concentration after use
• It is recommended to dose in partial increments of 1/3 to 1/2 of the total. Wait 24 hours after first partial dose, check alkalinity levels, dose another portion
• This product becomes hot when mixed with water, use rubber gloves. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Wash hands after handling
• Some cloudiness is normal
