• DESCRIPTION DETAILS FACTS DIRECTIONS WARNINGS Complete Pond Water Conditioner with Echinacea Amine-Free Made in U.S.A. Tap water may be safe for humans, but in most localities it is not safe for fishes and aquatic invertebrates. Tap water needs to be modified by using Pond NovAqua Plus when setting up aquariums and ponds, when making water changes, and when preparing salt water for marine aquariums. Pond NovAqua Plus is the new generation of NovAquas, it is the latest stage of technological development in water conditioners for aquariums. Pond NovAqua Plus is the most effective of the tap water conditioners for benefiting aquatic life, but it goes far beyond that. Pond NovAqua Plus provides, in a single product, everything necessary to handle all of the needs when treating tap water for aquatic life. ADVANTAGES: Pond NovAqua Plus provides multiple protective colloid coatings on the fish's body to replace or reinforce the natural slime coating that is essential to counteract injury, infection, and adverse environmental exposure. These polymers effectively shield wounds on fish, prevent the loss of internal fluids and electrolytes, and protect fish from external toxins and pathogens. The skin of fishes and many aquatic invertebrates is naturally fragile. It is covered by a protective slime coating that helps keep harmful bacteria and viruses away and aids the animals in their swimming ability by reducing surface friction. Any lessening of the slime coating, such as by abrasion and wounds can allow harmful pathogens to enter the skin. Fishes and invertebrates can sense when their slime coating is lessened or missing, and this can be very stressful to them. Fish being introduced to aquariums or ponds, or being transported, are particularly prone to losing natural slime and needing Pond NovAqua Plus . Pond NovAqua Plus neutralizes chlorine and the full effect of chloramines Chloramines in municipal water supplies are a very serious problem for aquarists and pond keepers. Chloramines are a combination of chlorine and ammonia that together make a compound that is much more stable and highly toxic to viruses and bacteria than either is alone. Chloramines are also very toxic to fishes and aquatic invertebrates. Over 50% of all municipalities in the U.S. now have chloramines added to the water supply. The American Water Works Association now strongly recommends that all municipal water suppliers add chloramines to their water supply, because of increasing as of pathogens in water sources due to water . Chloramines are are lethal to all water-breathng aquatic animals. It is becoming essential that aquarists and pond keepers use a chloramine remover in all water that they take from the tap for their fishes and aquatic invertebrates. Pond NovAqua Plus neutralizes up to 3.75 ppm of chlorine (free and combined as chloramines), twice the a that regular Pond NovAqua removes. What Pond NovAqua Plus does not do is take out the ammonia that comes in the chloramines. This should be done by using Kordon's AmQuel Plus (or original AmQuel) with Pond NovAqua Plus . EPA Guidelines set a maximum allowed level of chlorine of 4 ppm in public water supplies. Most water suppliers target 2-3 ppm chlorine. Note that 4 ppm of chlorine is actually 5.8 ppm chloramine. (The chlorine is 69% of the chloramine molecule, ammonia is the other 31%). So, with a possible 5.8 ppm chloramine, there is 4 ppm chlorine, and 1.8 ppm ammonia. At the extreme 4 ppm level of chlorine in chloramine, a 1.5 standard dose of Pond NovAqua Plus is recommended. Check with your local public water utility for the level of chlorine that they are adding to tap water. Pond NovAqua Plus buffers tap water When tap water is used, it comes out of the tap greatly reduced in oxygen. When tapwater that is low or devoid of oxygen comes in contact with the air its pH fluctuates rapidly while it is picking up oxygen and carbon dioxide. If tap water is added directly.
