Coverage: Treats up to 50,000L total (standard application rate of 10mL per 1,000L).
First-Time / Standard Dose: 10mL per 1,000L (heavily polluted ponds may require double or triple the dose).

Important Tip: Turn off your UV clarifier, ozone unit, and chemical treatments for 24 to 48 hours after dosing so the bacteria can colonize surfaces before the UV lamp kills free-floating strains.
