It is critical that ponds are pollutant free as possible as Ammonia & Nitrite will rapidly cause fish health problems even low levels of Ammonia (1. 5 mg/l or above) can cause stress which leads to poor immune response, seriously effecting a fishes ability to fight disease infection.

Water quality is the key to successful pond keeping, and the importance of low level
pollutants cannot be overstated. Ulcerations, bacterial infections, wounds, will perpetuate if water quality is poor.

Adding beneficial bacteria early in the season when feeding resumes, or when adding more stock & particularly after using chemicals in the pond will re-boost filters with vital Nitrifying bacteria. Adding good bacteria on a regular basis is very beneficial and a powerful water quality management additive.
