Product Details
Pond-Vive is a proprietary blend of enzymes and beneficial bacteria formulated to help improve water quality and reduce sludge in ponds, lakes and other water bodies. By consuming and breaking down waste in the pond, Pond-Vive bacteria reduces the nutrient load of a pond to help keep it in balance and improve overall water quality. When used in conjunction with aeration, Pond-Vive works with nature to provide clean, clear water and reduce reliance on pond chemicals
