The microorganisms digest carbon through the
process of breaking down organic matter. The
carbon is absorbed through the bacteria's cell
membrane where it combines with oxygen and is
released as CO2 . Bio-Pure
Aquaculture's enzymes break down complex carbon
bonds, making these materials easier to digest
for the bacteria. This breakdown of organics
leads to a reduction in total suspended solids
and bottom solids.
Bio-Pure Aquaculture accelerates the nitrogen
cycle, enhancing the rate at which ammonia is
converted into nitrite. Ammonia is the principle
cause of odors when high stocking densities or
populations of fish are present. By insuring
high populations of bacteria and enzymes, we can
alleviate most common odor problems..
Will
Bio-Pure Aquaculture help remove pond bottom
sludge? ::
Top
Bio-Pure Aquaculture supplies bacteria and
enzymes to work on nutrient sources throughout
the water column, including the pond bottom. Our
product includes two strains of non-hydrogen
sulfide producing bacteria specifically targeted
for bottom solid digestion.
Bottom solids in any pond is one of the
primary nutrient contributors to total nutrient
loading. As organic matter at the pond bottom
decomposes ,it releases nitrogen and phosphorus
into the water column. Bio-Pure Aquaculture
contains microorganisms specifically selected
for their ability to degrade bottom solids made
up of organic matter.
What does
Bio-Pure Aquaculture do to improve water
clarity?::
Top
Bio-Pure Aquaculture can make dramatic
improvements in clarity. When clarity is
affected by floating organic matter, Bio-Pure
Aquaculture will be highly effective in a matter
of 1 to 2 weeks. The breakdown of carbon leads
to a reduction in total suspended solids, which
results in improved clarity.
Bio-Pure Aquaculture will have significant
impact on clarity issues caused by minerals
(turbidity, silt, iron, etc.). Bio-Pure
Aquaculture is effective in treating some of
these cases.
Are there
ponds or lakes where the product should not be
used? ::
Top
Any pond or lake which loses 45% or more of
its liquid volume in any given day should not be
considered for Bio-Pure Aquaculture because of
the high turnover rate.
Will
Bio-Pure Aquaculture clear my pond? ::
Top
Bio-Pure Aquaculture is best used as a
preventative, ongoing management tool. It is
best to use Bio-Pure Aquaculture before problems
occur. Bio-Pure Aquaculture is effective once
the pond has experienced a problem; however, it
can take several weeks before significant impact
is noticed.
What about
aeration? ::
Top
Bio-Pure Aquaculture (and all other bacterial
products) depends upon adequate amounts of
dissolved oxygen in the water. Bio-Pure
Aquaculture's microorganisms decomposition rates
are 5 to 6 times faster in the presence of
oxygen. This means that water with aeration will
experience a higher and faster success rate.
Is Bio-Pure
Aquaculture bacteria safe to use? ::
Top
Bio-Pure Aquaculture's bacteria/enzyme
strains are indigenous, non-pathogenic,
naturally occurring bacteria. They are
completely safe and FDA GRAS listed as safe for
humans, animals and plant life.
Does
Bio-Pure Aquaculture require EPA registration?
::
Top
No. Bio-Pure Aquaculture contains only naturally
occurring, non-pathogenic, indigenous
microorganisms, and therefore it is not
regulated by FIFRA or the Federal Insecticides,
Fungicides, and Rodenticides Act. EPA
registration is not required.
Are there
permits or applicators
licenses required to use Bio-Pure Aquaculture?
::
Top
NO. Because Bio-Pure Aquaculture is not
regulated by FIFRA, licenses and permits are not
required.
What is the
Bio-Pure Aquaculture shelf life?? ::
Top
The shelf life for Bio-Pure Aquaculture is two
years. When the jar is opened, it must be
re-closed and stored out of direct sunlight.
What are
the benefits of Bio-Pure Aquaculture?? ::
Top
- Eliminates odors by breaking down the
organic bottom solids where gas is created
and released. Specialized bacteria and
enzymes also break down ammonia before it
causes a problem.
- Reduces bottom solids. Bio-Pure
Aquaculture bacteria and enzymes will
accelerate the degradation of the dead
organic matter on your pond bottom.
- Improves water clarity and quality by
digesting suspended organics in the water
column and degrading ammonia, hydrogen
sulfide, and other contaminates that are
harmful to your ecosystem..
- Eliminates pond scum by digesting the
primary food source (nitrogen and
phosphorus), making it unavailable for
aquatic weeds.
- Stops aeration equipment fouling due to
organic build up.
- Costs less than a fraction of a penny
per gallon of water treated..
What can
you expect after application? ::
Top
- In 2 to 4 days there will be a reduction
in nitrogen and phosphorus levels.
- In 3 to 4 days there will be a reduction
in odors.
- In two weeks there should be a visible
improvement in clarity and water quality.
