Directions For Use:
Ponds without plants:
1. Add 2-1/2 cupfuls (730 g) of
Pond Salt for each 100 U.S. gallons (380 L / 83 UK Imp. Gal.)
of pond water. Distribute salt evenly around the perimeter of
the pond.
2. After one hour, measure the
salt level with a Pond Care Salt Level Test Kit. The salt
level should be 0.2%. If the salt level is too high, make a
partial water change.
Ponds with plants:
1. Certain aquatic plants are
sensitive to salt; use this lower salt level when plants
are present. Add 1¼ cupfuls (370 g) of Pond Salt for each 100
U.S. Gallons (380 L / 83 UK Imp. Gal.) of water. Distribute
the salt evenly around the perimeter of the pond.
2. After one hour, measure the
salt level with a Pond Care Salt Level Test Kit. The salt
level should be 0.1%. If the salt level is too high, make a
partial water change.
Disease treatment:
Many external parasitic infections
(trichodina, chilodinella, ichthyobodo, and epistylis) and
fungal infections can be eradicated with a short-term salt
bath.
1. Using a clean plastic
container, dissolve 2 ½ cupfuls (730 g) of POND SALT in 10
U.S. gallons (40 L / 8.3 UK Imp. Gal) of pond
water. Do not use tap water.
2. Carefully put the infected fish
in the salt bath (2.0%) for 5 to 10 minutes. DO NOT leave fish
in the salt bath for longer than 10 minutes! Be sure to cover
the bath container with netting or similar material to prevent
fish from jumping out of the bath container.
3. After 10 minutes, place the
treated fish back into the pond.
4. Salt bath may be repeated in 24
hours, if necessary.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Once added to a
pond, salt does not
evaporate and is not
filtered out. Pond Salt should be
added as directed with each water change (i.e. when
water is pumped out of the pond and new water is added), or
when fish have been treated with medications. Do not add Pond
Salt when topping off a pond, unless the test results from the
Pond Care Salt Level Test Kit indicate salt is needed.
Keep out
of reach of children.
