Product Description

Blagdon Pond Sludge Buster uses specially selected cultures of beneficial biological organisms to break down and consume organic sludge that accumulates on the pond floor. Dead leaves, decaying plant matter, algae, and uneaten fish food can all contribute to sludge build-up, which may reduce water quality and place additional strain on pond equipment.

Each 9g sachet contains an impressive 8.5 billion beneficial bacteria, which begin working to digest organic waste and help restore a healthier pond environment. By naturally reducing sludge deposits, Pond Sludge Buster helps minimise the need for time-consuming and messy manual cleaning.

The dried bacterial formulation provides excellent reliability and an extended shelf life, ensuring the product remains effective until needed.
