How To Use
Switch off UV steriliser until course of treatment is complete. Make sure your pond and filters are spotlessly clean to avoid the drop in efficacy of Potassium Permanganate earlier than necessary due to the effects of mulm and detritus. Measure the correct dose at 6.8g per 4,546 litres (1,000 gallons) and place in a bucket of hot water. Aerate for 20 minutes then disperse solution evenly around the pond over a one hour period. Do not use below 10°C, for temperatures above 18°C we recommend using KUSURI Acriflavine and Malachite Green Premix. Potassium Permanganate will turn the water purple. Make a note of the time you start the treatment. Once the initial application is complete, test the pond water every 10-15 minutes by scooping a small amount of pond water into a glass vessel, in order to see when there is a colour change from purple to brown. Make a note of the time the water turns brown and keep a calculation of the total time the water has stayed purple. Re-dose each time the water goes brown until the total purple water time is a minimum of 12-15 hours. When pond water is above 18°C, add more oxygen to the pond as Potassium Permanganate chemically strips oxygen from the water. At the end of a course of treatment use Kusuri Hydrogen Peroxide to reoxygenate and help clear the water. In warmer water, if you see the fish struggling during a dose of Potassium Permanganate, Kusuri recommend using Kusuri Hydrogen Peroxide to reoxygenate and assist in neutralising the Potassium Permanganate. Ensure the Potassium Permanganate pouch remains sealed after each use.

Kusuri Pro-100
Kusuri Pro-100
Kusuri Pro-100 is an effective water treatment that is intended to prevent pathogenic infection. A number of dangerous pathogenic strains of bacteria, like Aeromonas, Pseudomonas and E.coli, can cause catastrophic fish losses in ponds through infections of wounds and ulcers. Pro-100 is an effective preventative water treatment that does not involve anti-biotics, disinfectants or any other type of chemical products. Pro-100 is not a direct cure for wounds and ulcers but will assist in the natural therapeutic recovery from disease and infection. Pro-100 will reduce free-living pathogenic bacteria. It cannot directly reduce bacteria that have already penetrated skin tissue. The multiplying colonies of beneficial bacteria out compete harmful strains of pathogens, by consuming the nutrients that the pathogens require to survive and develop. Effectively, Pro-100 reduces the numbers of pathogens by occupying their living space and starving them out of the food chain and replaces the harmful bacteria with beneficial bacteria. Read more
