Is Hydra Crystal safe to use with fish and wildlife
Hydra Crystal is harmless to fish and wildlife it rapidly flocculates and clears green and cloudy water and is safe for your pets to drink from the water.
How long does it take to work
Within 30 minutes the Hydra Crystal will start clearing your water - a large water body will take about 24 hours to clear. The mineral structure of Hydra Crystal will sink to the bottom where your filtration system will remove it. If no filter is present then the particles will slowly disintegrate over time at the bottom.
When I added Crystal my water went brown
When you add Hydra Crystal to water, the water goes brown initially this is due to the minerals in the product absorbing the algae, this will clear once all the algae has been absorbed.
Can I use this water for Irrigation
It is safe to use this water on plants and grass, there is no waiting time before using the water.
Initial Dose
The initial dose for Crystal is 1:12,500.
Maintenance Dose
You can either maintenance dose at 1:50,000 every month or leave it until your water starts to become cloudy / green which would depend on your individual ponds balance i.e.
1. Number of fish to size of water body.
2. Amount of food being given to fish.
3. Whether fertilizer run off is coming from surrounding ground/grass areas.
4. Amount of plant life in water body to absorb nutrients i.e. phosphates, nitrates etc.
5. Each water body is a unique eco system - once it is in balance it would not be necessary to
add additional Hydra Crystal.
Overdosing
Whilst Hydra Crystal is a very safe product we would not recommend overdosing as you would be wasting your money, however we have tested it at 1:4,000 and found that it was still safe to aquatic life. Once the water is clear there is no need to re-dose unless you are using the maintenance program.
Testimonials
Just wanted to thank you for your excellent service. Your communication is excellent. My products arrived this morning. My pond is very out of balance, since we were flooded two years ago I haven't been able to get my pond water clear, it is a very murky brown colour despite me adding numerous oxygenating plants.
If my fish are swimming near the surface it is nearly impossible to see them, that is how murky it is. I added Hydra crystals this morning, went out for 2 hours when I came back I could see half way down into the pond. I don't know how much clearer it is now as I have been out and got back after dark. I am looking forward to the morning so I can see how much clearer it is.
I will be recommending your products and service to all my friends who have ponds - Julie.
Just a quick note to say thank you, this is the best thing I have tried and tried a lot I have, it works very well and at a good price to. You can see the difference in minutes so again Thank You your product is wonder full - Jason.
