UltraClear Farm Pond Treatment
Combo Pac (Muck Digester Tabs & SST)

Muck Digester Tabs
The UltraClear Combo Pac consist of two products. The UltraClear Muck Digester Tabs consist of multiple strains of freeze dried heterotrophic bacteria specifically formulated for treating farm ponds. The seven stains of bacteria in the dry tabs dissolve in the pond and continuously release specific bacteria and enzymes that digest sludge and act to reduce algae in the pond. The tabs are effective for up to a month for the typical pond.

SST
SST is a biological concentration of a live, liquid blend of nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria that consumes nutrients that are needed for algal growth. It out competes the algae for a food source. Used with the UltraClear Muck Digester Tabs, the liquid SST is dosed once per month.

General information

A typical pond should be dosed once every month. Problem ponds need to be dosed every two weeks.
