Bacterius 5B is a mixture of dry Bacillus bacterial cultures combined to safely and naturally clarify water in lakes and ponds. It helps prevent the proliferation of algae, aides in the destruction of sedimentary muck and attacks the causes of foul odours from organic growth.

This pathogen-free mixture contains a 5 billion cfu/ml bacteria count and is undiluted with any binders or thickeners. It is a pure and high-calibre bacterial mixture that assists in reestablishing your pond or water garden to a healthy balance. Completely safe for people, animals, fish and aquatic plants this dry bacteria is easy to introduce into your basin and requires no mixing or preparation. Simply toss the recommended number of soluble pouches into your pond.

This is not an algaecide or man-made chemical but a natural product that combines bacteria that exist naturally in the earth, air and water which will work against the proliferation of algae and odors which sometimes tarnish the water quality of ponds and lakes. 5B is used in all cases where the natural ecosystem is of critical importance.

Bacterius 5B is a highly concentrated combination of natural bacterial stocks and nutrients which will deprive the unwanted algae of their principal source of food. The bacteria in Bacterius 5B and the unwanted algae in your pond are fed by much the same elements so by adding the the 5B into your pond the helpful bacteria contained in the mixture will reproduce, thrive and overwhelm the invasive algae and will eliminate it or force it to exist in a non-harmful state. Bacterius 5B works in both the higher depths and with the sediments and organic deposits on the pond bottom. By colonizing throughout the entire basin Bacterius 5B is able to attack all problem areas common in ponds.

Benefits

- Helps solubalize refuse and mucky pond sediments
- Clears water in ponds and lakes
- Reduces odors
- Enhances the aquatic environment and restores equilibrium to the eco-system
- Completely harmless to people, animals, fish and vegetation

Recommended Treatments
Use this table to calculate the approximate needs for your pond. Smaller ponds, water gardens and aquariums require much smaller dosages (often a few tablespoons). This table is only a rough guide. Contact us for specific recommendations.

Application
Bacterius 5B comes in soluble pouches that are thrown into the pond. They work best when they are tossed near the aeration system, floating fountain or in-flowing water source or cascade. The movement of the water helps "steep" the bacterial pouch much the way a tea-bag is helped to release it's content by adding gentle agitation. If there is little or no surface movement or aeration system the pouches should be cut open and mixed with pond water and then splashed across the pond surface much the same way liquid bacteria is administered.

There are three treatments that are recommended. If your pond is already infested with algae and poor water quality an initial "shock treatment" of a high dose of bacteria is added followed by a treatment the following week and then a treatment every two or three weeks depending on the results obtained. A pond which is beginning to show the initial problems inherent with murky water and algae growth but has not yet progressed to an alarming state of eutrophication requires a milder initial treatment followed by a maintenance dose. For ponds and water gardens that are relatively healthy a low maintenance dosage is added on a two or three-week program depending on environmental factors and achieved results.

NOTE: Bacterius 5B is composed of natural bacteria, enzymes and nutrient whose combination was especially created to restore and maintain the quality of water-based ecosystems. The bacterial content of Bacterius 5B did not undergo any genetic engineering, they are 100% natural and exist naturally in the earth, air and water. The principal effectiveness of these bacteria lies in their abilty to secrete enzymes which degrade organic matter and help clarify pond water. The bacterial stocks are absolutely without danger to the environment, plants, people and animals. Information appearing in this website was given from the results obtained by Bacterius.ca and do not constitute in any way a guarantee of performance. Each case is different and dependent on a myriad of environmental and ecological factors. We assume no responsibility for the misuse of this patented product.
