FEATURES & ADVANTAGES OF HYDRA AMMONIA LOCK

  • Ammonia Lock quickly absorbs toxic ammonia and releases non-toxic sodium ions.
  • Ideal for pools, fountains and ponds with high fish volume and freshly cleaned filters.
  • Allows sufficient time for the biological filters to develop and colonise with nitrifying bacteria in a new pond or at the beginning of the season.
  • Helps turn cloudy water clear by eliminating bacterial blooms.
  • Helps filters to work more efficiently during hot weather conditions.
  • Prevents unwanted algae growth
  • Rechargeable crystals that can be used multiple times.
  • Consists of naturally occurring high grade Zeolites with micro porous crystalline constitution, not mixed with cheap impurities.
  • Secret of Japanese pond keepers.

THE PROBLEM YOU CAN HAVE WITH GARDEN PONDS OR POOLS 

In ornamental garden ponds or pools, the problem of excessive ammonia arises out of:

  • Overfeeding of fish and uneaten fish food in the water
  • Malfunctioning or inadequate biological filter system
  • Large quantities of fish in the water body with insufficient filtration to handle the amount of ammonia being released into the water
  • Ponds with huge amounts of waste (dead leaves/plants) decomposing at the bottom of the pond
  • Increased water temperature during particularly hot weather, or at the beginning of a season when fish activity rises whilst nitrifying bacteria are still not colonised in a large enough quantity.

With the increase of water temperature, ammonia toxicity also rises, therefore the same ammonia level during winter would prove harmful during summers when water temperature is higher.

THE SOLUTION WITH HYDRA AMMONIA LOCK 

Ammonia Lock is a safe, fast and effective product that quickly lowers the dissolved ammonia levels in ponds, pools and all fresh water systems with fish.

HOW TO USE HYDRA AMMONIA 

Dosage Rate: 1 kilo treats 1,350 litres of water.

  • Leave Hydra Ammonia Lock crystals to soak for 24 hours in a 10% salt solution to charge, this done before use in pond. `
  • Place the charged crystals in a sack in a running water area.
  • After putting in water Hydra Ammonia Lock may become saturated even before the ammonia levels are reduced to zero. In this case take the crystals out and recharge as before, prior to adding back into the water.
  • It is advised to use Ammonia Test Kit to check dissolved ammonia levels in the water.
  • Recharge the crystals every month or more frequently if necessary.

Brilliant value for money and excellent results
02 June 2018  | 

I bought this product to clear my pond water, I watched as it went from brown to a beautiful clear colour where I can see my fish again. What an incredible product.

Fish pond cloud free
11 May 2018  | 

I have a heavy fish load which has caused my pond water to go very cloudy. I have tried many treatments in powder, liquid and tablet form but nothing has worked. After finding this product, I followed the instructions on the tub and left it for a couple of days to be sighted with a lovely clear pond. I recharged the crystals in a bucket a week later and put back into my filter tank. This product really does work and I can see my happily swimming fish again.

Reduced Pond Ammonia Levels
01 June 2017  | 

Checked my water parameters and the ammonia levels were very high, I put the granules into a net under the waterfall, where they would get the maximum water contact. The next day the ammonia level was dramatically reduced, I bought enough to have you lots on the go one being recharged with salt and the other in the pond. Within 5 days the parameters were back too normal.
