API Pond pH Up

Safely and quickly lower the pH in your freshwater pond for more acidic water conditions with API POND pH DOWN Pond Water pH Reducing Solution. pH is the measure of acidic or alkaline water conditions. Water with a 7.0 pH level is considered neutral. Levels over 7.0 are considered alkaline, and levels under 7.0 are considered acidic. Different fish need different pH levels to stay healthy. Levels that are too high or too low can cause stress, illness and death, so pond water pH testing is crucial to the health of your fish. API POND pH DOWN Pond Water pH Reducing Solution is designed to lower pH in water that tests at an undesirable level. It is colorless and easy to use. It will not cloud or color water, and because it's phosphate- and nitrate-free, it will not encourage algae growth. Use as directed to keep pH levels in pond water between 6.8 and 8.0, an ideal range for garden ponds. With API POND products, it’s easy to keep a beautiful pond.

Test the pH level of the pond water with an API POND WIDE RANGE PH TEST KIT. Using the dosing cap on the bottle, add 10 ml (2 tsp.) of pH up for each 50 U.S. gallons (190 L) of pond water. For best results, add to water flow. Wait 24 hours, then test pH again. Repeat treatment as necessary. Tip: pH UP works by slowly neutralizing acidic substances that cause low pH in pond water. It’s important to test the pH when using pH UP. pH should be raised no more than .5 units every 24 hours. Do not treat the pond more than once every 24 hours. Plants and algae cause a temporary increase in pH in the afternoon, therefore, pH should be tested in the morning to obtain the lowest reading.
