WHATS The secret to a healthy pond?

It’s all about the bottom.

AquaSpherePRO uses beneficial bacteria and enzymes to break down sludge, debris, and excess nutrients that cloud your water.

Once placed in your pond, the sphere sinks to the bottom and gradually releases bacteria to reduce odors, improve clarity, and restore ecological balance – no measuring or mixing required.

No measuring. No mixing. No hassle.

Simply Throw it in!

AquaSphere®PRO is made from 100% renewable plant starches, molded into a biodegradable sphere that dissolves safely after use.

The AquaSpherePro Casing is molded from resins that have been certified compostable to the requirements of ASTM D6400 International Industrial Composting Standard and shown to be marine degradable per the requirements of ASTM D7081.

Additional Information

The AquaSphere®PRO is an all-natural time-released dispensing system that introduces beneficial bacteria into the water, which reduces excess nutrients and breaks down organic matter that clouds water. Our AquaSphere®PRO sinks to the bottom and treats ponds and lakes for up to 30 days. The spheres are biodegradable, making cleanup safe and easy. A patented time-release sphere that introduces a proprietary blend of new bacteria for 30 days. Our formula works at the bottom of the pond and reduces sludge. Aquasphere®PRO is biodegradable over time.

AquaSphere®PRO is best used in conjunction with other Healthy Ponds products for effective water treatment and maintenance. Remember to add a new sphere to your pond every 30 days throughout the pond season (water temperatures 7°C degrees and above). It’s important to use the correct treatment size for your specific water feature. You cannot over treat water but under treating may not yield desired results.

This veterinarian-approved product is safe for livestock, wildlife, plants, pets and people, keeping your water clean in an environmentally friendly way. Distribute the sphere(s) towards the middle of the pond.

Yes. Our products are all-natural, and veterinarian approved making them safe for fish, plants, birds, animals, pets and people.

Always read the directions on the label and if you have a question please call one of our technicians.

Since our pond water treatment product is all-natural it is not possible to over-treat your pond, but it is very possible to under-treat, and the desired result will not be achieved. If you need help, please contact us and one of our technicians will be happy to assist you.

Our products are about 75% effective in salt water. If you plan on treating a salt water water feature, we recommend that you double the dosage.

There is no expiration date as long as they are stored properly. They must be stored in a dry environment.

Our AquaSphere®PRO is weighted and sinks to the bottom of your pond and goes to work consuming the excess nutrients. The AquaSphere®PRO provides a patented 30-day time release of beneficial bacteria and enzymes that consume the excess nutrients in the water and remove sludge in ponds.

To achieve the best results, use the AquaSphere®PRO with our supplement Natural Blast®.

Natural Blast® starts at the top of the water and works its way down at a fast rate of 7 days, and is not time-released. This pond water treatment product is a great add-on to the AquaSphere®PRO. Natural Blast® is our strongest formulation and disperses throughout the entire body of water when added to the pond.​

Treatment is very simple. You toss or place the correct number of products into your pond/stock tank. The pond water treatment dispensers will sink to the bottom and begin releasing the bacteria and enzymes into the water.

This all depends on where you live. But we recommend treating your pond 6 months out of the year.

All of Healthy Ponds products are designed to last for 30 days. The spheres have a patented time-release feature that allows the continuous release of bacteria and enzymes over a 30-day period. Bacteria normally live for 7-10 days, so the time-release is very important. This also means that the sphere will need to be replaced because the bacteria will not be effective after 30 days. A new sphere will be needed to continue treatment.

The AquaSphere®PRO is marine biodegradable, but how quickly it degrades depends on many factors including the makeup of the microorganisms in the sludge layer at the bottom of the pond where the sphere is working, as well as the chemistry of the water itself. Also, if the bottom of the pond is hard, sandy, or rocky the sphere will do its work but not degrade.

If your AquaSphere®PRO is still in your pond after 45 days and you prefer not to wait for it to degrade, feel free to remove and dispose of it.

We recommend that you use our product Natural Blast® for 30 days.

  • Day 1 – Recommended amount of Natural Blast®
  • Day 15 – Recommended amount of Natural Blast®
  • Day 30 – Recommended amount of Natural Blast® and recommended size of AquaSphere®PRO

Continue treatment until smell dissipates and maintain with monthly AquaSphere®PRO treatment. We encourage our customers to keep extra Natural Blast® on hand in case any problems arise.

Blue/green algae (cyanobacteria) can produce toxins that are harmful to people, pets, livestock, and wildlife. If you see signs of a bloom (green scum, pea-soup water, or surface mats), treat the situation carefully:

  • Do NOT swim, fish, or draw water for animals or irrigation until the algae is gone and the water is safe again.
  • Do NOT apply algaecides directly. In New Zealand, chemical treatment of blue/green algae in ponds and waterways is highly restricted and can actually make the problem worse by releasing more toxins when the algae cells break apart.
  • Safer approaches include:
    • Physical removal of surface scums where practical (using nets or pumps, and disposing of material away from water).
    • Improving water circulation and aeration, which reduces the stagnant conditions algae thrive in.
    • Reducing nutrient inputs for example, diverting runoff, limiting fertiliser near water, or planting buffer vegetation around ponds. Less nitrogen and phosphorus = fewer blooms.

After removal and/or treatment of algae, RUSH® All Natural Algae Treatment can be applied to visible areas, where it works by targeting organic matter and accelerating natural breakdown using eco-based oxidizers rather than harsh chemicals.

After the immediate bloom has been managed, additional all-natural products help restore balance by boosting beneficial bacteria, improving oxygen levels, and reducing excess nutrients creating a healthier aquatic environment that makes it harder for blue/green algae to return.

Please Note: Our products are NOT algaecides, they do not ‘kill algae’ directly.

Algae feeds off of excess nutrients that are in the water. These nutrients can be introduced into the water in numerous ways. Some of the most common are food remaining on an animal’s mouth when it comes to drink, leaves, grass clippings and run off. With warm temperatures and stagnant water, anything organic in the water will decompose releasing nutrients that the algae feed off of. The beneficial bacteria, in Healthy Ponds® by Bioverse® spheres, will consume the excess nutrients and starve off the green organic matter.

Our products are all natural, so any natural pond treatment will work in your koi pond. But if you do have questions please reach out to our technicians and they will answer any questions you might have.

It is recommended to begin pond water treatments once the water has reached 7° C and continue throughout the season ( for New Zealand this is from Autumn into Summer). At this temperature, the bacteria is most active. It is more cost-effective to prevent the problem than it is to address the problem after it is established.

The most frequent issue is underestimating the volume of the pond which results in under-dosing. To calculate pond volume in gallons, multiply length x width x average depth x 7.5 or simply contact us we will help you determine the correct dosage.

Another possible reason could be that the pond or water feature is struggling due to reasons other than those we typically treat for. We have many years of experience in diagnosing unusual water issues and as a result, are able to assist you. 

All you need to do is take the sphere out of the plastic bag it comes in and gently toss it into your pond. The AquaSphere®PRO will sink to the bottom of your pond and will start working within minutes. If you are using more than one sphere evenly distribute throughout your pond.
Repeat this process every 30-days.

  1. Use in self-contained ponds and retention areas.
  2. Keep Healthy Ponds spheres dry until pond application.
  3. Do not use with chemicals or algaecides.
  4. Use the proper dose; based on calculated number of required spheres.
  5. Treat water over 7°C and under 43°C.

Note: The AquaSpherePRO will clean your pond regardless of the material your pond is made out of. The sphere itself, however, may not breakdown if your pond has a concrete or liner bottom without a sludge layer. If this is the case, you may choose to leave the sphere in the pond or remove it after one month and dispose of it in your regular garbage.

Caution

Microbial treatment in ponds with low oxygen levels, high water stagnation (no aeration), with high levels of organic matter AND containing high levels of fish populations run a risk of initiating fish death due to low water oxygen levels. It is recommended that ponds stocked with fish be tested for oxygen levels as well as having a source of aeration in the pond prior to treatment with microbials.

Microbial Facts

  • Treatment with microbials requires oxygen to establish bioremediation.
  • Microbial treatments will reduce the water oxygen levels as the bioremediation occurs.
  • Healthy Ponds microbial products are all natural, safe, and effective for fish if there is enough oxygen for all the fish contained in that pond.
  • Ponds with high fish levels should have mechanical aeration systems in place as treatment is started for improved results.
  • Ponds with low oxygen levels should be treated with a water oxygenator prior to microbial application.

Pond Water Facts

  • Low oxygen levels will produce localized fish death in any pond.
  • High heat will decrease the oxygen levels in ponds (as water temperatures increase the oxygen levels will decrease).
  • Ponds overstocked with fish will have lower oxygen levels than a pond that has no fish.
  • Excess amounts of organic debris will lower water oxygen levels.
  • Shallow ponds will always have lower water oxygen levels than ponds that are deeper.
  • Make sure the water temperature is 7⁰C or above
  • Remove the sphere from the plastic bag. Do NOT take the sphere apart
  • Toss the recommended amount of sphere(s) into your pond. Each month, toss new a sphere(s) into a different location in your pond*
  • Repeat every 30 days
  • Keep any extra spheres in a dry place
  • This product is all-natural and will not harm fish, plants, animals, pets or people
  • Remember that over-treating is safe and at time we do recommend it
