FAQs

How often should I apply this treatment?

We recommend applying The Pond Guy Nature’s Defense every two weeks when water temperatures are 50°F or above. This product is intended to be used on a maintenance basis and should be applied consistently to keep water clarity.

Do I need to open the packets?

No. Just toss the whole packet into your pond. Simple to use with no measuring or mixing. Treatment is held in a water-soluble casing material that dissolves when it hits your pond water.

Is Nature's Defense safe for my koi?

Yes. Nature's Defense contains naturally occurring beneficial bacteria. When used in accordance with label directions, Nature's Defense is completely safe for fish, plants, pets, and pond wildlife.

Can this be used in a smaller fountain application?

Yes. Nature's Defense can be used in smaller applications such as fountains, patio ponds, and other water features, as it is an all-natural beneficial bacteria product.

Can I use Nature's Defense in my large acreage-sized pond?

No. This product is formulated for smaller water garden and koi pond applications, which means those aquascapes measured in gallons not in surface acres. It is also not intended for use in pools, as the chlorine found in pools will kill the bacteria.

Will Nature's Defense kill algae?

No. Nature's Defense is a beneficial bacteria product that reduces nutrients in the pond, but it is not an algaecide and will not effectively kill algae. If you are looking for an algaecide, consider The Pond Guy InstaFix Algae Control.

Can I use Nature's Defense at the same time as an algaecide product?

No. We recommend waiting at least 72 hours after your last treatment of algaecide to apply The Pond Guy Nature’s Defense. This ensures that the beneficial bacteria in the packet do not become depleted by the algae products.
