Commonly Asked Questions


Will Bio-Pure Aquaculture harm my grass
if the treated water is used for irrigation?
:: Top

No. Unlike chemical algaecides, Bio-Pure Aquaculture's specialized bacteria and enzymes won't harm grass areas. Bio-Pure Aquaculture actually benefits your grass by increasing the beneficial soil bacteria population.

What causes algae blooms and how does Bio-Pure Aquaculture help? :: Top

What effect does Bio-Pure Aquaculture have on Phosphorus? :: Top

Bio-Pure Aquaculture's bacteria use phosphorus in their cell mass, making it unavailable as a nutrient for aquatic weeds. Phosphorus is a key component in the make up of DNA and RNA (the "building blocks" of life), which are necessary for bacterial cell replication.
 

How does BZT® Aquaculture deal with Nitrogen? :: Top

In the water, nitrogen is found in several forms; ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates. Through a process known as nitrification and denitrification, the Bio-Pure Aquaculture formula breaks complex forms of nitrogen down into molecular nitrogen, a gaseous form. This nitrogen will be degassed through the water, escaping to the surface and leaving the aquatic environment.

How does Bio-Pure Aquaculture deal with Carbon?? :: Top

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.

How does Bio-Pure Aquaculture remove odors? :: Top

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.
