Use Natural Blast® in your outdoor pond or water feature at the beginning of the season, if you start to see organic floating material, or in consecutive months if you see organic material form during the summer. It works across the entire water column to treat common water problems that cause clarity, quality and severe odor issues. This all-natural product advances the decomposition of floating and suspended green organic matter and restores the health of your fountain, aquarium, or pond.

Natural Blast® comes in pre-measured, easy-to-dispense packets and the water-soluble bags will dissolve in as little as 30 seconds after being tossed in the water. Please make sure your hands are dry before handling the water-soluble packs.  This product is veterinarian approved and safe for all fish, wildlife, plants, pets, and people.

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.

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.

When Aquasphere, Natural Blast and our pond dyes are used, the treated water is safe for animals and livestock to drink. There are no water-use restrictions for livestock, and animals do not need to be removed from the water source during or after application.

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. 

Use Natural Blast® in your outdoor pond or water feature at the beginning of the season, if you start to see organic floating material, or in consecutive months if you see organic material form during the summer. It works across the entire water column to treat common water problems that cause clarity, quality and severe odor issues. This all-natural product advances the decomposition of floating and suspended green organic matter and restores the health of your fountain or pond.

  • Calculate total Litres to be treated: Length x Width x Depth = Total Litres
  • Do not under treat water; over treating is safe and will yield optimal results.
  • Toss the water soluble bags of Natural Blast®, evenly throughout the water (near aeration when possible). Product will disperse as packets dissolve.
  • Natural Blast™ can be reapplied every 7-10 days for desired water clarity and health.
  • Dosage responses are variable.
  • Use proactively to reduce problems with clarity and stagnation.

NOTE: THIS IS AN ALL NATURAL PRODUCT

Response time will vary with water condition. Do not use with chemicals or algaecides.

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.
  • Bioverse’s microbial products are 100% natural, safe, and effective for fish if all ponds as 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 7.5⁰C or above
  • Do NOT take the bags apart. The bags are water-soluble and will dissolve over time
  • Toss the recommended amount of bag(s) into your pond in various spots
  • Repeat every 7-10 days until desired clarity is achieved
  • We recommend that you use this product along with the AquaSpherePRO
  • Keep any extra Natural Blast in a dry place
  • This product is all-natural and will not harm fish, plants, animals, pets or people
  • Keep extra on hand in case of temperature increase or a large rain event
  • Remember that over-treating is safe and at times we do recommend it
