PondCare Ammo Lock

PondCare Ammo Lock Remove chlorine & chloramines from tap water & detoxify ammonia, continually produced in the pond, by waste matter. Locks up ammonia, converting it into a form that not only is nontoxic to aquatic life, but serves as a source of nutrition for nitrifying bacteria in the biological filter.

PondCare Ammo Lock Eliminates ammonia stress and promotes healthy gill function of pond fish.

Purpose And Benefits:
Koi and goldfish excrete ammonia from their gills. Urine and solid fish waste break down into ammonia. Decaying plants and algae also release ammonia into the pond. Uneaten fish food will also decompose and release ammonia into the pond. Ammonia is toxic to fish. Chronic exposure to low levels of ammonia will damage the gill tissue. This prevents normal gas exchange across the gills. Fish will become weak and susceptible to a variety of diseases. High levels of ammonia will result in rapid fish loss.

It is impossible to see or smell ammonia in pond water. The only way to know if ammonia is present in the pond is with an ammonia test kit. Use the PondCare Liquid Ammonia Test Kit to accurately measure the ammonia level in ponds and water gardens.

Q: How often should I test for ammonia?

A: Regular testing is necessary to make sure the ammonia level is safe. Pond water should be tested for ammonia every other day when the pond is first set up, and once a week after the biological filter has been established (in about 4 to 6 weeks). The ammonia level should always be zero once the biological filter is established.
