How long does the UV Light need to be turned off to allow for the Bacteria to get dispersed?

Answer by ChewyJul 01, 2018
The formula activates once added to your water so there is no need for pre-mixing or complicated preparations. For best results in your pond, you should maintain a balanced pH. Unlike other products in the marketplace today, Microbe-Lift PL will still be effective even if your p H is high or low. Microbe-Lift PL will be effective in any or all of the following conditions: with light or without light, with air or without air, low to high acidity, or low to high alkalinity. Microbe-Lift PL is a natural bacteria pond clarifier, grown with nirobacter bacterium. Microbe- Lift PL works alone. There is no need to purchase other products to achieve results on the side panel of this product.

How long is Microbe-Lift good. I have some from last summer. It was in a heated garage (40 degrees) all winter.

Answer by ChewyApr 07, 2019
If left unopened, this product has a shelf life of about 2 years when kept in temperatures between 40 degrees and 105 degrees. After opening, this product will be good for about 1 year.

Can I use this for an aviary bird bath that they also drink out of?

Answer by ChewyMar 30, 2019
This product is 100% safe, non-toxic, and chemical-free so you can use it with all fish, plants, invertebrates, and around the whole family, even your pets.

Can this or another of you products be used in a 1 acre pond?

I had this great pond guy helping with my pond a while back, but he has since moved on to other ventures. I had problems with pond sludge and he put this in my pond. It worked to clean it up. So I found it and add it myself a few times a year. It clears up the pond sludge at the bottom of the pond much better than any other product I've tried, and I've tried a lot of them.
