When it comes to using Waterbac in your shallow ponds or fish ponds (less than 1m depth), apply it at a rate of 10 grams per 1,000 litres of water to be treated. For larger ponds, follow a rate of 250 grams per 25 square metres of water surface area.
Waterbac is perfect for small fish ponds, ponds, and troughs with a depth of 1m. A 250g package efficiently treats up to 25,000 liters of water or 25m2 of water surface area.
To apply Waterbac, dissolve the required amount of soluble sachets in a bucket of source water (avoid town tap water) and gently mix until fully dissolved. Then, add the dissolved solution to the water source either early or late in the day for optimal results. If you’re using town tap water to fill a tank or pond, let the water sit and aerate for at least a day before adding Waterbac.
For the best outcome, refrain from using Waterbac when the water has become excessively algae-infested, resembling ‘pea soup.’ If you have utilised chemical algaecides, allow a 72-hour gap before applying Waterbac to achieve the desired effect.
Application Rate for Shallow Ponds and Fish Ponds (less than 1m):
- Apply at a rate of 10 grams per 1,000 litres of water to be treated.
Application Rate for Larger Ponds:
- Apply at a rate of 250 grams per 25 square metres of water surface area.
Where to Use: Suitable for small fish ponds, ponds, and troughs with a depth of 1m.
How Much to Use:
- 250g treats up to 25,000 litres of water to be treated.
- OR 250g treats up to 25m2 of water surface area.
How to Apply:
- Put the required amount of Waterbac soluble sachets into a bucket of source water (avoid using town tap water) and mix slowly until fully dissolved.
- Add the dissolved Waterbac solution to the water source early or late in the day for best results.
- If you are filling a tank or pond with town tap water, allow the water to sit and aerate for at least a day before adding Waterbac.
When to Apply:
- Avoid using Waterbac when the water has turned into ‘pea soup’ due to excessive algae growth.
- If chemical algaecides have been used, allow 72 hours before applying Waterbac for optimal effectiveness.
Waterbac targets excess nutrients and organic matter in water bodies1. It harnesses the power of naturally occurring aerobic bacteria to actively digest contaminants present in the water. The primary targets of Waterbac include:
- Excess Nutrients: Waterbac works to reduce the levels of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus in the water. Excessive nutrient levels can lead to problems such as algal blooms and poor water quality2.
- Organic Matter: Waterbac aids in breaking down organic matter present in the water. This includes dead plants, leaves, and other organic debris that may accumulate in ponds and other water bodies.
- Foul Odours: Waterbac helps eliminate foul odours caused by the decomposition of organic matter and other contaminants in the water. By digesting these substances, it improves the overall smell of the water.
- Algae Control: By reducing nutrient levels, Waterbac can indirectly help in controlling algae growth. Algae thrive in nutrient-rich environments2, and by limiting their food source, Waterbac contributes to keeping algae populations in check.
- Aquatic Weed Growth: Similar to algae, excess nutrients can also promote the growth of aquatic weeds. By reducing nutrient levels, Waterbac may help prevent or slow down the growth of unwanted aquatic vegetation.
Overall, Waterbac aims to improve water clarity and create a healthier environment for aquatic life by targeting the root causes of water quality issues, primarily excess nutrients and organic matter.

How do I apply Waterbac to my water body?
To apply Waterbac, follow the recommended rates based on your water body’s size. For shallow ponds and fish ponds (less than 1m), use 10 grams per 1,000 litres of water. For larger ponds, apply 250 grams per 25 square metres of water surface area. Dissolve the required amount of Waterbac sachets in a bucket of source water (avoid tap water) and mix slowly before adding it to the water.
Is Waterbac safe for fish and aquatic life?
Absolutely! Waterbac is entirely safe to use in water bodies where fish are present. The naturally occurring aerobic bacteria work harmoniously with the ecosystem, promoting a balanced and healthy environment for aquatic life.
Can Waterbac help control algae and aquatic weed growth?
Yes, Waterbac indirectly helps control algae and aquatic weed growth by reducing excess nutrient levels in the water. By limiting the nutrients that fuel their growth, Waterbac can assist in preventing and managing unwanted algae and aquatic weed proliferation.
When should I avoid using Waterbac?
Avoid using Waterbac when your water body is experiencing excessive algae growth, commonly known as “pea soup.” Additionally, if you’ve recently used chemical algaecides, allow a 72-hour gap before applying Waterbac for the best results.

This actually seems to be controlling the algae in my fishpond a bit. Nothing else has done anything

Have been using this for a couple of years now and love the ease of it. Keeps our small pond in great condition.
AUFinally a product that works
We have a number of large water features in the gardens of our rural property. I have over the years tried a number of product in an attempt to keep these ponds clean. We now use a combination of Aqua Tech products and adding the Waterbac has improved the clarity of the water. Couldn’t be happier.

I have used this product for the last 12 months and find it very good. I am still waiting for my last order to arrive, as the post is very slow. it would be wonderful if there was a stockist in WA.
