Vital natural bacteria is required to breakdown the harmful organic by-products of life in the pond. BioKick Filter Starter introduces an instant dose of these cultures which would otherwise take a number of weeks to populate naturally. Fresh water also contains chlorine which is harmful to fish pond life. AquaMed Safe & Care can be introduced to new pond water to instantly purge out chlorine from the water.
