Koi & Pond Fish Health: Pond Care Pond Salt helps improve koi health & disease resistance

*	Pond Salt helps improve fish gill function to reduce stress
*	Adds electrolytes pond fish need for good health
*	Pond Salt is 100% natural and safe for all pond fish

What's the secret to keeping healthy koi? A dash of evaporated seawater! Adding pond salt in small doses will help boost your koi's natural defenses to disease, stress, and nitrite toxicity. It is also a natural way to kill any parasites lurking in your pond.

First, pond salt acts as a stress coat, thickening the natural slime barrier which serves as a shield against disease. Second, the mineral-rich tonic supports healthy gill function by providing essential electrolytes with every breath, reducing the risk of stress-induced osmotic shock and even temporarily blocking the toxic effects of nitrite.

Disperse pond salt evenly around the shoreline while being careful to avoid direct contact with any plants. Pond salt will not evaporate, so the only time you need to add more is after water changes. Investing in a reliable refractometer will help you test and maintain trace salt levels. 145 oz contains approximately 18 cups.

Suggested Use:
Ponds Without Plants: Add 2-1/2 cupfuls of Pond Salt per each 100 U.S. gallons of pond water. Distribute salt evenly around the perimeter of the pond. After one hour, measure the salt level; salt level should be 0.2%. If the salt level is too high, make a partial water change.
Ponds With Plants: Certain aquatic plants are sensitive to salt; use this lower salt level when plants are present. Add 1-1/4 cupfuls of Pond Salt per each 100 U.S. gallons of pond water. Distribute the salt evenly around the perimeter of the pond. After one hour, measure the salt level; salt level should be 0.1%. If the salt level is too high, make a partial water change.

Disease Treatment for Pond Fish: In a clean plastic container, dissolve 2-1/2 cupfuls in 10 U.S. gallons of pond water for 5 to 10 minutes. DO NOT use tap water. Carefully put the infected fish in the salt bath (2.0%) for 5 to 10 minutes. DO NOT leave fish in the salt bath for longer than 10 minutes! Be sure to cover the bath container with netting or similar material to prevent fish from jumping out of the bath container. After 10 minutes, place the treated fish back into the pond. 145 oz contains approximately 18 cups.

Keep Pond Salt out of reach of children and pets that could possibly ingest.
