Description
Clarify Your Water with NaturalClear Pond Plus Clarifier
Advanced Biological Support for Challenging Ponds
NaturalClear Pond PLUS is a Canadian-made beneficial pond bacteria formula developed for ponds, dugouts, and larger water bodies experiencing higher organic loading, nutrient-rich runoff, heavier fish populations, or more demanding environmental conditions.
Its concentrated 2 billion CFU/g formula contains five beneficial bacteria species, providing broader biological support than the standard NaturalClear Pond maintenance formula.
Convenient water-soluble packets make application simple. Toss the required number of packets directly into the water, where they dissolve and release beneficial bacteria throughout the pond. Normal water movement, circulation, and aeration help distribute the bacteria through the water column.
NaturalClear Pond PLUS supports the pond’s natural biological processes by contributing to the decomposition of available organic material. When used consistently as part of a complete pond management program, it helps support a more naturally balanced pond environment and may help improve water appearance over time.
Our beneficial bacteria are fermented in Canada.

What Is NaturalClear Pond PLUS?
NaturalClear Pond PLUS is a concentrated biological pond maintenance product containing a blend of five beneficial bacteria species.
The formula is designed for ponds that may require additional biological support because of:
- Fertilizer and nutrient-rich runoff
- High amounts of surrounding vegetation
- Heavy leaf and grass-clipping accumulation
- Larger fish populations
- Fish feeding and uneaten food
- Waterfowl and wildlife activity
- Higher levels of organic material
- Agricultural or landscaped surroundings
- Limited circulation
- Seasonal changes and stormwater runoff
- Larger pond or dugout size
- Recurring water-quality challenges
These conditions can continually introduce organic material and nutrients into a pond. NaturalClear Pond PLUS supports the naturally occurring biological activity that processes available organic material within the aquatic environment.
It is intended for ongoing biological maintenance rather than an instant or one-time correction.
Give Challenging Ponds Additional Biological Support
Ponds experiencing heavier organic loading, fertilizer runoff, larger fish populations, or demanding environmental conditions may require more than a standard biological maintenance formula.
NaturalClear Pond PLUS combines a concentrated 2 billion CFU/g formula with five beneficial bacteria species to support the natural decomposition of available organic material and contribute to a more naturally balanced pond environment.
The convenient water-soluble packets are easy to apply and dissolve directly in the water, releasing beneficial bacteria throughout the pond.
For best results, apply consistently as part of a complete pond-management program and always follow the application rates and directions provided on the product label.
How It Works
NaturalClear Pond PLUS is supplied in pre-measured water-soluble packets that dissolve when you throw the packets into your pond. The packets are designed for simple handling and dispersing with normal pond circulation.
NaturalClear Pond PLUS should be used as part of a routine pond maintenance program. Follow the product label directions and apply at the recommended rate for your pond size and conditions.

Application Instructions
Toss packets directly into the water when wind is low. Packets dissolve after application and disperse with normal pond circulation. Maintenance applications should be applied every one to two weeks, or as directed on the product label.
NaturalClear Pond PLUS is designed to make concentrated biological pond maintenance simple and convenient.
Toss the required number of packets directly into the pond or dugout when wind conditions are low. Applying during lower wind helps the packets land in the intended areas instead of being pushed toward the shoreline.
The packets dissolve after entering the water and release the beneficial bacteria into the pond.
Normal circulation and water movement then help distribute the bacteria through the water column.
For larger ponds, packets may be placed in several areas to encourage broader distribution, provided this is consistent with the product label.
There is no need to open the packets before application.
Always follow the application rates, directions, and precautions provided on the NaturalClear Pond PLUS label.
How Often Should NaturalClear Pond PLUS Be Applied?
Maintenance applications should generally be made every one to two weeks, or as directed on the product label.
Beneficial bacteria perform best as part of a consistent pond maintenance program. Regular applications help support ongoing biological activity as new organic material continues entering the pond.
Runoff, leaves, pollen, fish waste, waterfowl, vegetation, and other debris can continuously influence pond conditions throughout the season. For this reason, routine maintenance is generally more effective than waiting until the appearance of the pond changes.
Application frequency may vary based on:
- Organic loading
- Fertilizer and land runoff
- Water temperature
- Rainfall
- Fish populations
- Pond size
- Water depth
- Circulation
- Aeration
- Seasonal conditions
Always follow the directions and application rates stated on the product label.
What Can Affect Product Performance?
Every pond is different. NaturalClear Pond PLUS performance will vary depending on environmental and site conditions.
Water Temperature
Beneficial bacteria are living microorganisms. Their biological activity can be influenced by water temperature and seasonal conditions.
Pond Size and Depth
Larger or deeper ponds may have more complex circulation patterns and different levels of organic loading than small decorative ponds.
Aeration and Circulation
Water movement helps distribute beneficial bacteria throughout the pond. Areas with limited circulation may receive less uniform dispersion.
Organic Loading
Ponds receiving large amounts of leaves, grass clippings, fish waste, pollen, waterfowl waste, runoff, or plant material may require a more comprehensive maintenance program.
Fertilizer and Land Runoff
Rainfall may carry material from lawns, fields, gardens, pastures, and landscaped areas into the pond. Reducing unnecessary runoff where possible can support the overall pond maintenance program.
Application Consistency
NaturalClear Pond PLUS is intended for ongoing maintenance. Consistent applications according to the product label help support continued biological activity.
Weather and Water Levels
Heavy rainfall, drought, changing water levels, flooding, and extended hot weather can all influence pond conditions.
Fish and Wildlife Activity
Fish populations, feeding practices, livestock, waterfowl, and wildlife may contribute additional organic material to the pond.
Because pond environments are constantly changing, results will vary between locations.
