Instruction
Instruction
- Use Instructions: The Standard Dose of Pond AmQuel is one teaspoon (5 ml) per 10 gallons of fresh or salt water, or one liquid ounce (30 ml) per 60 gallons of water, or one cup (8 liquid ounces - 20 ml) per 480 gallons of water. For other measurements estimate the amounts needed, such as 1/4 teaspoon for 2.5 gallons of water, or 3 teaspoons for 30 gallons, etc.To remove chlorine and chloramines (chlorine combined with ammonia) out of the tap from public water supplies add one Standard Dose (see definition above) to the water to break the bond between the chlorine and ammonia, and to remove all the chlorine, and ammonia that may be in public water supplies. This will remove up to 3 mg/L chloramines (as monochloramine, NH2Cl). No greater dose is needed for removing chloramines or chlorine from public water supplies.To remove toxic ammonia compounds that build up in aquariums and ponds from the excretion of body wastes by fishes, invertebrates, bacteria, and other aquatic organisms start with a Standard Dose (see definition above). This Standard Dose not only removes the chlorine and chloramines described above, but will also remove (detoxify) at the same time 1.0 mg/L (= approx. 1.0 ppm) of all ammonia compounds in fresh or salt water. Use multiple doses to remove more than 1.0 mg/L ammonia from the water.It is suggested that the ammonia concentration of the water be tested prior to the addition of Pond AmQuel to determine how much Pond AmQuel is needed. Also see Contraindications for when there may be problems in the use of Pond AmQuel). The pH of the water being treated affects the speed at which Pond AmQuel removes ammonia. The lower the pH, the slower Pond AmQuel works. At a pH of 7.0 (neutral) Pond AmQuel will remove the ammonia in less than 5 minutes. Several minutes more are needed at higher pHs.As a general rule, when using tap water in which chlorine and chloramines are present, but not nitrites, nitrates or other organics.Aquariums and Ponds: When using Pond AmQuel with tap water, add Pond AmQuel to water at the recommended dosage to remove ammonia, chlorine and chloramines. To fully condition tap water, add Pond NovAqua as well. Use Pond AmQuel or Pond AmQuel Plus and Pond NovAqua each time a water change is made.Fish and Invertebrate Shipping And Holding: Pond AmQuel or Pond NovAqua should be added to tap water used for shipping fish and invertebrates. If the fish are crowded or prone to bump into or abrade each other, Pond Fish Protector should be added to both the shipping water and the aquarium or holding tank after shipments are received. Pond NovAqua and Pond AmQuel, when used together, will reduce stress, osmotic and pH shock, probability of infection, and neutralize ammonia, chloramines, chlorine and heavy metals. Pond PolyAqua should be used to handle abrasions, bruises, and frayed fins of fishes.Fish and Invertebrate Field Collections: When using water from natural conditions for field collecting the use of Pond AmQuel in holding and shipping water will reduce stress in fishes and invertebrates due to ammonia intoxication. In addition, Pond Fish Protector should be used in holding and shipping water for optimum protection against abrasions, bruises, and frayed fins in fishes.
- Storage Instructions: Store in a cool, dark area away from heat and direct sunlight. Pond AmQuel must be kept tightly closed when not in use.
