Aquascape Maintain for Ponds 

The Aquascape Maintain is like the "jack of all trades" for pond maintenance. The Maintain combines a range of the most efficient pond treatments into one powerful formula.

The Maintain aims to take the stress out of keeping ponds clean, clear and hopefully keep your pond maintenance free!

The Maintain can be applied in a number of ways, either add the treatment directly to the pond through the use of a pump bottle, or you can use an Aquascape automatic doser to drip-feed the pond over a longer time period. 

Just a single pump is enough to treat 380 litres of water, while a whole bottle can treat up to 76,000 litres.

Overall, the Aquascape Maintain is a great option if you are looking for a simple and easy treatment that helps take care of it all!

Aquascape Pond Sludge Remover

Aquascape IonGen System

The Aquascape IonGen System is an innovative solution for the control of string algae, without needing to use traditional chemicals. 

• String algae such as blanket weed, can grow rapidly during the warmer months, especially when in direct sunlight. 
• String algae can get out of hand very quickly and cause a load of issues if left untreated, leading to poor water clarity and toxic water conditions. 
• Utilises the power of copper ions to treat the water and control string algae. 
• The IonGen control panel sends electrical signals to an Ion-producing copper probe. 
• Once it receives a signal, the probe will send a single charged ion across to the other side. 
• The copper ion will be swept away by flowing water where it will inhibit algae growth. It is crucial to place the probe in an area with high flow to ensure the ion is swept into the pond. 
• The control panel can be used to set the frequency of copper ions being released. 

It's important to note copper can become toxic in high concentrations, make sure to measure copper levels before starting treatments using the provided testing kit. It is good practise to set the dosage to a minimum, only boosting when string algae appears, before reducing again once controlled. 

So there you have a breakdown of the various treatments from the Aquascape product range.
