The number of natural bacteria may not be sufficient in ponds that have a high nutrient load caused by extensive dead plants, algae, and lower oxygen levels. By adding Pond Clarifier Sludge \u0026amp; Water Quality Bacteria Treatment to a pond, you increase the bacteria, therefore, cleaning the water and speeding up the decomposition of sludge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is Pond Clarifier made?\u003c\/strong\u003e Pond Clarifier Beneficial Bacteria is manufactured for Pond Perfections by Great Lakes BioSystems, leaders in bacteria and enzyme cultures. Working together over many years to formulate it specifically for Canadian colder water temperatures, has resulted in this leading-edge product.
