BactoPlus Filter Start Gel contains a very high concentration of living nitrifying bacteria, with over 800 million bacteria per millilitre of product. The bacteria in BactoPlus products have been specially selected using innovative DNA technology for their beneficial function within a pond. Nitrifying bacteria are responsible for optimum filter performance in a ponds biological filtration, their activity creates a healthy environment for both fish and plants. The use of BactoPlus Filter Start Gel allows you to quickly establish a colony of bacteria in new pond filters or maintain a colony in existing filtration.
Best results are achieved when combining BactoPlus Filter Start Gel and BactoPlus Activator Gel. This product activates bacteria in the pond environment and will help to create a healthy pond without unwanted algae. For filter maintenance and removal of sludge and residue you can use BactoPlus BSO Sludge Buster.

After cleaning the filter or after water changes: Add 25ml per 1,000 litres of water.
Maintenance: Add 25ml per 1,000 litres of water each month.
