BBA Cold Active Beneficial Bacteria

BBA Cold Active Beneficial Bacteria – Winter Pond Treatment

Beneficial bacteria breaks down sludge, removes harmful pollutants, and helps keep pond water clear year-round. But most bacteria strains are only active within a certain temperature range, and once winter sets in and the water gets too cold, they become dormant, leaving your pond without that protection through the colder months.

BBA Cold Active Beneficial Bacteria solves this with a specialised psychrophilic strain that stays active in cold water where standard bacteria strains shut down. On application, it rapidly sinks to the bottom of the pond, targeting sludge and pollutants where they accumulate, and breaks down ammonia, nitrates and phosphates, the same nutrients that fuel algae growth. Like other BBA products, it’s up to 20x stronger than most other strains on the market. Once the weather warms back up, switch to our BBA Beneficial Bacteria Liquid Solution for regular, ongoing maintenance.
