API Pond pH Down

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.

Carefully mix desired dose with 2 U.S. gallons of pond water in a plastic container and distribute evenly around the perimeter of the pond. First, test the pH level of the water with the API POND WIDE RANGE pH TEST KIT. Then, use dosing cap on bottle to add 5 ml (1 tsp.) of pH DOWN for each 50 U.S. gallons (190 L) of pond water. Wait 24 hours, then test pH again. Repeat treatment as necessary. Tip: pH DOWN works by slowly neutralizing alkaline substance that cause high pH in pond water. It’s important to test the pH when using pH DOWN in the pond. pH should be lowered no more than .5 unites every 24 hours. Do not treat the pond more than once every 24 hours. Plants and algae cause a temporary increase in the afternoon; therefore, pH should be tested in the afternoon to obtain the highest reading.
