Bacterius EQUINOX was developed to biodegrade cellulose material generated from dead leaves in autumn. This makes Bacterius Equinox the number one choice of pond owners in Ontario looking for an effective, coldwater treatment. Bacterius EQUINOX rapidly colonizes in the muck and quickly prevents the proliferation of sulfate-reducing bacteria that are responsible for H2S that contributes to anoxic conditions. H2S is a toxic gas that causes unpleasant odours (rotten egg smell) and deterioration of bacterial biofilms.
Benefits of Bacterius EQUINOX for cold water.
- Natural clarification of pond water
- Biodegrading the organic matter suspended in the water and in the sludge (from uneaten fish food, fish waste or plant residues)
- Decreasing the concentration of various elements used in fertilizers (nitrogen and phosphorus)
- Ensuring better control of floating algae in the water
- Minimizing the damage of winter anoxic shock (fish kills)
- Facilitating the spring recovery of the pond
- Maintaining the integrity of bacterial biofilms until spring
- Reducing odours due to anoxic conditions (H2S)Bacterius
