CHLORINE GUARD TAPWATER TREATMENT
- Description
- Delivery
Chlorine Guard removes harmful chlorine, chloridamides and heavy metals from tap water, when used to fill up a pond.
An environmentally friendly product based on seaweed extracts it removes toxic chemicals from tap water used for topping up ponds making it safe for fish, wildlife and plants.
Supplied in - 250ml bottle
Treats - Tap water when filling/topping up a pond.
Directions and Dosage:
Use 10ml per 1000 litres (220 gallons) of total volume of pond water every time the pond is topped up. Using more than the recommended dose will not cause any harm.
Dosing rate is based on the total volume of water in the pond/container pond, not the volume of water being added. The tap water is very likely to be at a higher or lower temperature than the pond water so initially forms a "layer" either at the top or bottom of the pond. If only a small amount of Chlorine Guard is added this will sit within the existing pond water zone and be neutralised before the added tap water mixes with the existing pond water. If Chlorine Guard is dosed based on the volume of water in the pond this will be sufficient to treat both the existing and added water.
One 250ml bottle will treat ponds up to 4500 litres (1000 gallons) during a Summer - allowing for 5 top ups. Add the Chlorine Guard from the small 10ml measuring chamber near to where the new water enters the pond or container so that it is well mixed in.
To calculate the volume of your pond - length x width x depth in feet x 6.25 = volume in gallons
Volume of our container ponds - 60cm wide = 45 litres (10 gallons) and 80cm wide = 105 litres (23 gallons) so part of a measure is sufficient for these on every top up occasion.
Will my plants arrive potted?
- Yes, all our 9cm, 11cm and 23cm Marginal Pond Plants, Deep Water plants and Waterillies will be sent out to you pre-planted in a mesh basket with our aquatic clay soil
- Bunched and loose Oxygenators will be sent out bareroot or bunched with a weight and can be dropped straight into the pond as they are delivered.
- Moist plants are sent out in solid pots that you would remove before planting into the soil.
How does my order arrive?
- Plant orders are dispatched to UK destinations only but we cannot send to Northern Ireland. Your order will be picked in the Nursery and will be sealed in airtight, waterproof packaging to keep it fresh during transit. Please unwrap all plants from the packaging as soon as possible and place in the situation/depth specified on each plant ticket.
Is your packaging sustainable?
- We shred paper and cardboard as box filler. It's brought to us by a local business that cannot reuse it.
Our black bag box-lining is made from recycled material and is recyclable. - The plastic bags (LDPE) we wrap the plants in are classed as 'soft plastic' recycling code 4. Recyclable at recycling points in supermarkets in store.
- We do need a plastic bag for our pond plants to arrive with you in good, damp condition. We have tested biodegradable options and found they do not hold water. The 'soft plastic' option is the best solution we have found.
- We need to keep the cardboard box dry. A wet cardboard box will not travel successfully in the courier system.
- Our cardboard boxes are new and specially sized to tightly hold our plant basket sizes so minimizing wasted space.
- We use the smallest box possible to transport your order to you. They are strong and would be reusable to resend parcels or to put on a compost heap.
- Our portions of Hornwort oxygenator are measured in a second-hand food tray but multiple portions are sent in one LDFE plastic bag.
- The mail-pack bags from APC contain recycled materials and are again recyclable as LDPE.
