Winston Company, Inc. has lead the biological water treatment industry for over 25 years by offering only the highest quality bacteria and enzyme solutions for sludge and pond treatment.
Even low levels of chlorine and chloramines can be toxic to fish. These substances are added to cities water supplies to make the water safe for human consumption. However, they are extremely harmful to all pond life.
Chlorine and chloramines cause gill damage which eventually results in gill lesions. These lesions will eventually thicken the gill filaments leaving fish unable to utilize oxygen and release carbon dioxide, thus resulting in fish death.
To prevent this damage from occurring add CrystalClear Vanish Dechlorinator to your pond with each water exchange or when beginning a new pond. CrystalClear Vanish Dechlorinator has been designed to remove toxic chlorines/chloramine bonds and reduce the chlorine and ammonia down to non-toxic levels.
CrystalClear pH Salts Down will safely and efficiently lower the pH of an ornamental pond within safe ranges (6.5-9.0). If you water is hard or alkaline, a higher dose of CrystalClear pH Salts Down may be required.
CrystalClear Buffer will help to prevent wide pH swings which are very common in ornamental ponds from dawn to dusk due to respiration and photosynthesis.
It is essential for ornamental ponds to maintain a buffering capacity of 80-240 ppm for pH stabilization.
CrystalClear Buffer will increase pH stability and will increase buffering capacity.
CrystalClear pH Salts Up will raise the pH of pond water to within safe levels. It is recommended to be used only when the pH of a pond is lower than 6.0.
EasyTreat Fungus keeps your koi or goldfish safe from commonly found parasitic protozoans such as, Ichthyopthirius, Trichodina, Costia and Chilodonella.
EasyTreat Fungus is also very good for treating many common bacterial diseases.
EasyTreat™ Bacterial is excellent for controlling gill diseases in pond and aquarium fish.
Bacterial diseases generally result from fish stress due to adverse water quality conditions (pH, oxygen or temperature problems), habitat clean-outs, untreated abrasions or predators.
CrystalClear EasyTreat Parasid is a widely used material by pond and aquarium hobbyists and professionals for control of infestations of fish lice, anchorworm and flukes which are common in pond and aquarium habitats. EasyTreat works extremely well on pond fish species such as koi and goldfish as well as on commonly found aquarium fish species.
It is important to note that pH is typically lowest at dawn and higher at dusk. Fish respiration lowers the pH and photosynthesis raises the pH. Thus, it is very important to test your pond pH at the same time each day. Adjust pH at 0.2 points per day. A drastic change in pH may cause stress or even death in ornamental fish.
CrystalClear Nitrifier contains special strains of bacteria that will safely convert ammonia and nitrite via a process known as nitrification. Once this process is complete toxic ammonia has been converted to harmless nitrate which can be utilized by aquatic plants as a nutrient source. Nitrifier will remove some nitrate on an anaerobic level but most of the remaining nitrate will be used by aquatic plants.
Ammonia at high levels will burn the surface of fish scales and gills thereby stressing the fish to the point of death. This dilemma can be diverted by simply applying a good nitrifying bacteria such as Nitrifier. Once the nitrification cycle is complete the net result should be little to no ammonia, nitrite or nitrate levels.
Nitrifier is designed to perform the same functions that the naturally occurring bacteria cannot perform. Most naturally occurring bacteria cannot keep up with the constant load of organics and algae entering the pond. Therefore, it is necessary to inoculate ponds with bacteria and enzyme supplements such as Nitrifier to ensure a clear, healthy system. Nitrifier is 100% safe for fish and plants and performs very well at seeding filters as well as the entire pond.
CrystalClear Foam Remover will remove protein foam from the pond or fountain’s surface in seconds.
Many fountains are collection areas for a lot of organic materials. This build-up, in combination with the heavy aeration oftentimes results in foam formation.
Crystal Clear Foam Remover removes protein foam from fountains and ponds, works in seconds, helps keep water clean, 100% safe & effective, easy application and is non-hazardous.
