  Experience the power of natural bacteria with Waterbac by Aquatic Technologies. Our product is designed to bring you better water clarity and a fresh-smelling aquatic environment. By harnessing the digestive power of microbes, Waterbac effectively eliminates excess nutrients and organic matter¹, leaving your water body revitalized and healthy.

  Safe for Fish and Pond Environments:

  Waterbac is entirely safe to use in water where fish are present². Whether you have a pond or any other aquatic environment, Waterbac will help you take control and enhance it naturally. Embrace the safe and eco-friendly option by choosing Aquatic Waterbac.

  How Does Waterbac Work?

  Aquatic Waterbac is a powerful concentrate of naturally occurring aerobic bacteria, carefully selected to restore the ecological balance of water bodies. These beneficial bacteria actively digest contaminants that lead to foul odours and toxic conditions², effectively purifying the water.

  Benefits of Using Waterbac:

  • Improved Water Quality: Waterbac assists in reducing excess nitrogen, phosphorus, and other nutrients¹, thereby promoting healthier and clearer water. This reduction in nutrient levels helps prevent unwanted issues like algal growth and excessive aquatic weed development.
  • Naturally Restoring Balance: By introducing beneficial bacteria into your water body, Waterbac works in harmony with nature to restore the ecological balance, fostering a sustainable environment for aquatic life.
  • Effortless Application: Each 10g water-soluble sachet treats up to 1,000L of water, making the application process simple and convenient.

• How To Use

  Waterbac Application Rate and Usage Guidelines for Optimal Results

  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:

  1. 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.
  2. Add the dissolved Waterbac solution to the water source early or late in the day for best results.
  3. 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.

  

   

• Targets

  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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

  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.
