Natural care for natural ponds
Clear water in natural ponds
The build-up of large amounts of algae and sludge, together with cloudy water, are among the most common problems in natural ponds. This is the result of a high nutrient content, among other things. Multikraft pond products support natural cycles, promote plant growth and the breakdown of sludge and stabilise the ecological balance of the water. For clear water in natural ponds, we therefore recommend our specially developed products: Pond Clear and eMB® Starter.
Application – Keeping your natural pond clean
Mix Pond Clear and eMB® Starter together and then dilute the mixture until the solution can easily be applied to the surface of the pond. Depending on the application method (spray, watering can, pump, etc.), dilute the products between 1:5 and 1:10 with water. Apply the mixture primarily in the plant areas, on the edge of the pond and in the water courses. Repeat the treatment at least once a year.
Timing and frequency:
- To ensure the dominance of the regenerative microbiology, permanently reduce rotting and start the breakdown of sludge, carry out three to five treatments in the first year (at intervals of around four weeks), depending on the amount of algal growth and the thickness of the sediment.
- Treat the pond at least once a year – ideally twice – depending on the thickness of the sludge.
- In healthy or relatively new ponds (without a significant volume of algae), it is normally enough to treat the pond once in the spring and once in the autumn. If algae starts to grow spontaneously due to a large build-up of pollen, for example, we recommend carrying out an additional treatment.
- Pond care can be carried out at any time of year, but the water temperature should not be below 5°C. Ideally, the treatments should be started in the spring or autumn.

Clear visibility in the natural pool
Whereas in ordinary swimming ponds the water body is cleaned by sinking of floating algae and the associated sedimentation, and nutrient competition with algae is created by sufficient planting of aquatic plants, in the natural pool nutrients are bound by the build-up of a biofilm in the filter body. Over time, however, the filter body begins to shift due to continuous growth of the biofilm and the filter performance decreases. Normally, the water circulation is then switched off for a few days, the biofilm dies and the nutrient-rich water (with dead biofilm) is removed from the filter body by backwashing.
Recommendation for use Pond Clear
1 L Pond Clear per 10,000 L water (= 10 m3)
Application recommendation EM Ceramics
Dosage: Always use the indicated amount of EM Keramik grey pipes together with EM Keramik 35 mm pipes!
Application: Distribute the EM Ceramics in bags or on strings in the filter or at flow-through points.
