Hydra pH Up rapidly releases a pH buffering solution into the pond water to help keep it in balance for GH General Hardness and KH Carbonate Hardness.
Ideal for emergency treatment in case of pH crash which can cause death of fish.
Pond alkalinity is naturally decreased over time through bacterial action which produces acidic compounds that combine with and reduce the alkalinity components.
Rain in to-days global warming climatic conditions contains large amounts of CO² which is acidic.
Ponds with vinyl liners or of fibre glass construction tend to show a decrease in alkalinity (they do not contain any natural pH buffers) over time and need Hydra pH Buffer to maintain an acceptable level.
