Karobar Koi Ltd has added Plocher products to their range.

Four Plocher products are available for use in koi ponds. The three water products act as a catalyst to harness the energy of nature to naturally stabilise water, reduce sludge, silt and algae and provide the correct balance for crystal clear, trouble-free ponds and lakes:

Plocher Water Activator promotes a natural, biological balance in ponds and lakes, actively encouraging better oxygenation, stabilisation and water optimisation through the stimulation of the water’s natural biological processes. Used from spring to autumn, it reduces nutrient levels, algal blooms and blanket weed to produce clear, clean water. It also reduces sediment and sludge production in your pond.  Buy Now

Plocher Sediment Reducer revitalises water naturally for clear fresh ponds and lakes. It actively encourages sediment and sludge reduction by promoting accelerated decomposition not allowing production of nitrates and ammonia through the stimulation of the water’s natural biological processes.

Added to any fish food, Plocher Fish Prep helps to strengthen the immune system, reducing the incidence of disease and fungal infections within fish. It also reduces stress and improves digestion and metabolism. In addition, this product helps to reduce nutrient levels within water.

Users report that blanket weed is significantly reduced, and any new growth has turned khaki green which demonstrates that it is not growing strongly. Chris Burton of Odin House has been using Plocher Water Activator for two months and states, “The blanket weed is not growing at the rate it used to. When pumping water from the pond into the filter, blanket weed used to regularly block up the filter, but the blanket weed has been broken so small that it is not blocking up the brushes.” He has also found a marked improvement in the sludge: “Every week, when I pull a valve and drop the bottom, the filter and pump drain. Before using Plocher, the initial sludge was dark green/black sludge and very smelly. Now, it has significantly reduced and is brown compost with no smell (I think Plocher is helping the bacteria to multiply and they are doing their job more efficiently). The water quality is higher and water filter system is more efficient, and that’s down to Plocher.” He also states, “Nitrate levels have dropped which were hovering above average, and ammonia readings have fallen.

Barrie Brown of Karobar Koi Ltd said, “We are very interested in these products. We haven’t found anything else quite like them. You turn off the UV, and they start working right away. Within a few weeks, the benefits are clear. Even in the recent hot weather the results were surprising.”

Charlotte Wilson of Swift Nature, UK distributor of Plocher products said, “We are delighted to have found such an established and well-respected partner in launching Plocher products to the koi world. Plocher products are unrivalled in their efficacy, being approved by the EU for Organic Agriculture 2092/91 EWG, they are completely natural and environmentally-friendly as well as having a positive impact on the health of koi carp. In addition, when used in natural settings they have been shown to increase bio-diversity of ponds and lakes.”
