Beneficial Bacteria
Beneficial bacteria is present in any functioning pond ecosystem, diligently working behind the scenes to maintain a balanced environment. There are not enough naturally occurring bacteria to maintain most ponds and lakes.

Remove Muck, Clear Water
Adding PondValue highly concentrated bacteria treatments will bring balance to a deteriorating pond or lake, clearing murky water and eliminating muck accumulation.

Eliminate Foul Odors
Treatment works to rapidly combat accumulating dead organic waste, dissolving it into an odorless gas that escapes out of the water column unnoticed.

This stuff works!
I usually do not write reviews but I’m so impressed that this actually works! I tried to upload photos but couldn’t for some reason. Our quarter acre pond was solid green with algae a week ago. We did one treatment so far (used 1 quart) and everyday watched the algae gradually dissappear. Now, there is very little left. We still need to do another treatment as the directions state but I’m so happy and our ducks are happy!
