What are pond bacteria?

Pond bacteria are natural microorganisms found in water, soil, and filter systems. They are part of the microbiology of every pond and form an invisible but essential part of the ecosystem.

Why are pond bacteria important?

Organic residues, such as leaves, food remnants, and excrement, are released in every pond. Pond bacteria support natural biological processes that convert and break down these substances. As a result, the pond ecosystem remains better balanced.

When can pond bacteria be a valuable addition?

The microbiological balance in a pond is constantly in flux. In various situations, pond bacteria can help support natural processes within the ecosystem.

Start-up & Stabilization

After the winter or after changes to the pond, the ecosystem needs time to stabilize again. Pond bacteria support the biological balance.

Aquatic plants support biological balance during warm periods

Warm periods

Biological activity increases at higher water temperatures. Regular maintenance helps keep the ecosystem in balance.

Leaves and organic material in the pond increase the biological load.

Organic load

Leaves, silt, and other organic residues are part of every pond. Pond bacteria support natural decomposition processes.

During the season

Biological balance is constantly changing. Regular application of pond bacteria supports natural microbial processes in the pond.

For which ponds are pond bacteria suitable?

Pond bacteria can be used in various types of ponds. Although every pond has its own ecosystem, natural microbiological processes play an important role in the biological balance everywhere.
