Mr Koizumi GH/KH+

Mr Koizumi GH/KH+

Mr  Koizumi GH/KH+ is a combination of essential minerals that together ensure the correct mineral balance in the pond. The quality of the mineral balance is extremely important for the growth of aquatic plants and the development of micro organisms. Organic life along with its components survives on these minerals. Organic processes stagnate in soft water. It is essential for stable and healthy pond life to add these essential minerals. Effect of GH/KH+ contains a broad range of minerals and as a result raises the general hardness (GH) and carbonate hardness (KH). It is important to maintain these values at the right levels (GH between 8° and 12°; KH between 6° and 11°) in order to prevent acidification of the water. GH/KH+ is a completely natural product without supplements. It is completely organic and harmless to all pond life, even with threefold overdosing. It is also suitable for ponds used for swimming and harmless to people and animals. Read more

Dosage:

  • 100 grams per 1000 litres. Raises the GH by 3° to 5° and the KH by 2° to 3°.

Instructions For Use:

  • Spread The GH/KH+ in the water or first mix it in a bucket and distribute evenly over the pond.
