ProductWhen to useWhat it doesAdditional Info
MICROBE-LIFT PL Any time your pond water is not as clear as you'd like, the temperature is over 45 degrees F (8 degrees C), there is sediment buildup on the bottom of your pond or your pond is not cycling. Balances your pond's ecosystem by establishing all natural biological processes required to: keep water clear and clean; reduce or eliminate organic sludge buildup; and seed your filter. The #1 water clarifier asked for by brand name. Does the work of 3-4 competitive products. The only pond product with photosynthetic microorganisms. Safe if pets drink out of pond treated with PL.
Barley Straw Concentrated Extract Start in the spring before water temperatures reach 50 degrees F (10 degrees C) and continue throughout the year to provide water clarity when ML/PL alone does not provide the desired results. Preferred by pond owners with bottom drains since it leaves no residue. Just as ML/PL biological matures with the pond's ecosystem, ML/CBSE chemically matures it like it would if aged through the introduction of rain and runoff water passing through decaying vegetation. Provides many of the same benefits as ML/BSP but without the peat so there is no residue. Studies prove there is a scientific basis for the beneficial clarifying effects of barley's decomposition byproducts, including humic acids-which can sequester or "tie-up" nutrients that promote undesirable growth and hydrogen peroxide. While barley straw itself would take 4-6 weeks to break down and release these chemicals when added to a pond, ML/CBSE and BSEP contain predigested barley that release these same compounds within 1-5 days. ML/BSEP contains peat shown to have buffering and ion exchange capabilities.
Barley Straw Concentrated Extract Plus Peat Same as above Provides many of the same benefits as ML/CBSE and BSP but may turn pond water a tea color for 10-14 days which also provides a natural sun filter.  
HC Same as MICROBE-LIFT/PL but for use in larger ponds or lakes. Creates a healthy pond environment to promote fish growth by breaking down organic sludge and reducing: ammonia nitrogen levels; biological oxygen demand (B.O.D.); hydrogen sulfide (creates offensive odors); building of bird droppings, fish feed and dead leaves. Safe for all wildlife in and around the pond. Each ML/HC jug carries informational hangtag titled "Bioaugmentation for Natural Ponds and Lagoons," which answers the most commonly asked questions about this process.
