API Pond ECOFIX Sludge Destroyer | Pond Water Clarifier & Sludge Remover (1-Gallon)

Overview

API POND ECOFIX SLUDGE DESTROYER is a natural, bacteria-based pond clarifier designed to target the organic build-up that can cloud water and clog filters. This 1-gallon bottle contains highly concentrated bacteria that help break down fish waste, decay from leaves and grass clippings, and other debris, with the aim of supporting clearer, healthier water as part of a broader pond care routine.

How it works

The product uses natural active ingredients to digest organic matter, turning waste into simpler compounds the pond can process. When used in combination with other API POND products, it can support a more balanced pond environment and reduce the need for frequent manual cleaning.

• Breaks down fish waste and consumes pond sludge
• Digests leaves and grass clippings that accumulate in filters
• Contributes to a cleaner, more manageable pond maintenance routine

Usage cadence

Initial dose and maintenance schedule are provided in the data: twice a week for two weeks at the season's start for quick clean-up, then every two weeks for ongoing maintenance. For end-of-season cleaning, an extra dose can be used as directed. Always follow product directions and use with API POND products for best results.

• Initial dose: twice weekly for two weeks
