Which product to use?


Remember ALWAYS but ALWAYS take a water sample
Before deciding what your water problem is, it is absolutely essential that you take a sample of water from your pond or lake into a clear glass and hold it up to the light - if you just look at the body of water you will never get the true picture.  
.                                                                                        
If it’s green or cloudy you either have excessive single cell algae or excessive suspended solids and need Hydra Crystal.
.
If the water looks green in the pond /lake but is crystal clear or very slighly cloudy in the glass you have excessive nutrients and need Bio Aquatic Bacteria Boost.
