Ideally ponds would be filled and topped up with rain water, but this is rarely possible and most people use tap water.  Ecopond Chlorine Guard is an eco-friendly solution for the treatment of the chlorine, chloramines and heavy metals in tap water which can be harmful to fish and wildlife.

It prevents damage to the mucous membrane (slime coat) which protects the fish and the build up of excess ammonia from the breakdown of chloramines.

It contains natural compounds which bind the chlorine and it contains no synthetic chemicals, herbicides or pesticides.

Chlorine Guard should be uséd each time the pond is topped up with tap water. 

Dosing rate is based on the volume of water in the pond, not the volume of water being added.  This is because the tap water is very likely to be at a higher or lower temperature than the pond water and so will initially either form a "layer" at the top or bottom of the pond.  If only a small amount of Chlorine Guard is added this will sit within the existing pond water zone and will be neutralised before the added tap water mixes with the existing pond water.  When Chlorine Guard is dosed based on the volume of water in the pond this will be sufficient to treat both the existing and added water.

Dosage: 10ml per 1,000 litres (220 gallons) of pond water every time the pond is topped up.
