Benefits of Effective Microorganisms in lined ponds & biotopes

Intensive algae growth and cloudiness of the water - the most common problems in ponds - are primarily caused by excessive nutrient content and cycles that are not functioning correctly. Effective Microorganisms stabilise these cycles. They promote ecological balance and plant growth, and thus reduce formation of algae.

Reduce decomposition in the sediment, prevent nutrient resolution in the body of water
Promote water plants that compete with algae for nutrients
Reduce algae growth by cutting the supply of nutrients in the water

Initial treatment for a stable balance in the pond in spring
For best results, a series of several applications have proved most effective in the first year of treatment. Use can start regardless of the time of year, but the optimum time is the spring.

Start of use in spring

Dosage for

Pond water

Effective Microorganisms Active
ZeoBas ultrafine (ultrafine basal rock dust)
EM ceramic powder

Application

Mix all products with pond water in the ratio 1:1, so that the basal rock dust and the ceramic powder remain in suspension. Using a watering can with rose, distribute in the plant and regeneration zones, at the edge of the ponds and in the flowing water.

TIMING AND FREQUENCY

Above a water temperature of 5 °C, the earlier the better. Repeat treatment every 4 to 6 weeks, a total of 4 to 5 times.

TIP

For new ponds, do not start treatment until sediments are deposited on the bottom. EM Ceramic Pipes can be used immediately to reduce surface tension and stabilise the water. As the mixture is distributed throughout the pond and sinks to the bottom, the applications cause cloudiness in the water for 2-3 days (if necessary, turn off circulating pumps and UV systems for a few hours).

Start of use in summer

Dosage for

Pond water

Effective Microorganisms Active
ZeoBas ultrafine (ultrafine basal rock dust)
EM ceramic powder

Application

TIMING AND FREQUENCY

In case of cloudiness or severe algae growth and water temperatures above 20 °C, the required quantity should be split into 2-3 applications at intervals of around 10 days. Then repeat the treatment 3 to 4 times using the total quantity every 4-6 weeks.

TIP

For new ponds, do not start treatment until sediments are deposited on the bottom. EM Ceramic Pipes can be used immediately to reduce surface tension and stabilise the water. As the mixture is distributed throughout the pond and sinks to the bottom, the applications cause cloudiness in the water after 2-3 days (if necessary, turn off circulating pumps and UV systems for a few hours).

Start of use in autumn

Dosage for

Pond water

Effective Microorganisms Active
ZeoBas ultrafine (ultrafine basal rock dust)
EM ceramic powder

Application

TIMING AND FREQUENCY

Treatment should ideally be carried out after the last maintenance and can be performed down to a water temperature of around 5 °C. Repeat the treatment every 4 to 6 weeks or when the water temperature rises above 5 °C again, a total of 4 to 5 times.

TIP

For new ponds, do not start treatment until sediments are deposited on the bottom. EM Ceramic Pipes can be used immediately to reduce surface tension and stabilise the water. As the mixture is distributed throughout the pond and sinks to the bottom, the applications cause cloudiness in the water after 2-3 days (if necessary, turn off circulating pumps and UV systems for a few hours).

Subsequent treatment for a stable cycle in the pond
Regular treatment promotes the regenerative capability of the pond and is carried out around 3 times per season.

Follow-up treatment in spring

Dosage for

Pond water

Effective Microorganisms Active
ZeoBas ultrafine (ultrafine basal rock dust)
EM ceramic powder

Application

TIMING AND FREQUENCY

Above a water temperature of 5 °C, the earlier the better.

Follow-up treatment in summer

Dosage for

Pond water

Effective Microorganisms Active
ZeoBas ultrafine (ultrafine basal rock dust)
EM ceramic powder

Application

TIMING AND FREQUENCY

Use in case of cloudiness in the water. At a water temperature above 20 °C, first use only half of the quantity and then add the second half after two weeks.

Application

TIMING AND FREQUENCY

Treatment should ideally be carried out after the last maintenance and can be performed down to a water temperature of around 5 °C.

TIP

Effective Microorganisms Active (EM-Active)

Stabilising water quality
EM Ceramics reduces the surface tension of water. The properties of EM Ceramic Pipes work together with the Effective Microorganisms to create an optimum environment in the pond.
