API pH Down for Ponds

API Pond pH Down – Pond Water pH Reducing Solution

pH is the measure of acidic or alkaline water conditions. A pH of 7.0 is considered neutral, levels over 7.0 are alkaline, and levels under 7.0 are acidic. Different fish need different pH levels to stay healthy, and levels that are too high or too low can cause stress, illness and death, so regular pond water pH testing is crucial.

API Pond pH Down safely and quickly lowers pH in freshwater ponds to a more acidic level when water tests at an undesirable level. It’s colourless, easy to use, and won’t cloud or colour the water. Because it’s phosphate and nitrate free, it won’t encourage algae growth. Used as directed, it helps keep pond water pH between 6.8 and 8.0, an ideal range for garden ponds. Test your pond’s pH first with an API Pond Wide Range pH Test Kit to know exactly what you’re working with.

Features & Benefits

• Safely and quickly lowers pond water pH
• Colourless formula, won’t cloud or discolour water
• Phosphate and nitrate free, won’t encourage algae growth
• Helps maintain the ideal 6.8 to 8.0 pH range for garden ponds
• Dosing cap included for easy measuring
• Standard dose: 5 mL (1 tsp) per 50 US gallons (190 L) of pond water

Recommended For

• Freshwater garden ponds with high or alkaline pH
• Use after testing pH with an API Pond Wide Range pH Test Kit
• Ponds with plants or algae, since afternoon readings give the truest pH result, as plant and algae activity can temporarily raise pH
• Ponds with high mineral (alkaline) content, which may need repeated treatment as pH DOWN works by slowly neutralising the alkaline substances causing high pH
