Natural Pond Cleaner vs. Muck Doctor

29 Aug 2012

While Natural Pond Cleaner and Muck Doctor are both considered beneficial pond bacteria they are completely different products!  Beneficial pond bacteria will help break down organic material on your pond floor what makes pond bacteria products different is the concentration.

Natural Pond Cleaner is a liquid maintenance dose of bacteria.  Natural Pond Cleaner is great for the overall health of your pond and should be used as a maintenance product every month. 

If you have significant muck or sludge on your pond floor you may want to consider using our highly concentrated beneficial pond bacteria, Muck Doctor.  Muck Doctor is in spike form and is much more concentrated and faster acting than Natural Pond Cleaner.  Muck Doctor is often used around beach and dock areas to consume the muck and sludge.  Typically you will see a significant decrease in muck levels within 30 to 90 days when using Muck Doctor.

Aeration is also highly recommended to get optimal results from your bacteria.  For more information on Sanco’s beneficial pond bacteria products contact our helpful staff.
