ECO TREAT CLEAR 1kg

EcoTreat Clear is a natural product (calcium carbonate) that consists of the remains of billions of tiny fossilized marine invertebrates. The product is processed into minute particles averaging only 5 microns (5 thousandths of a millimetre) in diameter. The smallness of the particles is one of the key properties that provides the product benefits listed below. EcoTreat Clear can be used to treat organic sludge in lakes, ponds, reservoirs, canals, streams & rivers.

Product Benefits

Improves water clarity by settling suspended solids.
Decreases organic matter in sludge by increasing natural microbial activity, thus reducing sludge depth.
Increases oxygenation in anaerobic (without oxygen) sludges.
Counteracts acidity in water & sludge.
Reduces foul smelling gases, a by-product of anaerobic sludge.
Can boost the aquatic food chain as organic matter is turned in to microbes.
Provides essential calcium.

How the Product Works

The tiny particles in EcoTreat Clear act as a natural flocculant which aggregates tiny organic particles and algae in the water.

These aggregates then sink to the bottom of the water column and form a layer on the sludge. Cloudy or green water thus becomes clearer allowing greater penetration of sunlight. The EcoTreat Clear on the surface layers of the sludge provides an ideal habitat for the microorganisms which degrade the organic matter in the sludge. The porous nature of the particles carries trapped oxygen to the sludge which is essential in the aerobic breakdown of organic matter. Anaerobic sludges tend to go acidic, which slows down degradation rates, and the calcium carbonate in EcoTreat Clear neutralizes the acidity thus promoting degradation activity.

Product Use

EcoTreat Clear is best applied in spring and thereafter every 6 months.

A typical application rate is 250g per square metre or 25 kg for every 100 m2 (125 sq yd). The product should be applied as a suspension distributed or sprayed over the water surface.

Environmental Safety

EcoTreat Clear is non-hazardous, non-corrosive, and harmless to humans, animals, aquatic life and plants. Some people are hypersensitive or allergic to some compounds and therefore direct contact with skin and eyes should be avoided. Application rates are determined by pond area, and the standard rate is 250g per sqm (or sq yard) every 6 months. 250g is approximately a full mug - accuracy is not essential. Add the required weight of the product to a bucket of pond water - about 1kg for every 10 litres (2 gallons). Mix thoroughly to suspend the product - it does not dissolve. Distribute the suspension over the pond area, e.g. by using a watering can. Pond water should start to clear after 1 week to 1 month and should remain clear for up to 6 months. If the water becomes turbid before 6 months, increase the application frequency to once every 4 months.
