Aquipond BactoClay is an ultra-pure natural clay, rich in montmorillonite (86%), designed to sustainably improve the water quality of koi carp ponds.
Its very fine particle size (< 50 microns) allows for rapid dispersion and even action throughout the pond. It captures impurities, helps stabilize the water, and promotes a healthier environment for the fish.
Used regularly, it supports digestion, improves nutrient absorption, and helps reveal deeper colors and better skin quality.
Compatible with drum filters, it easily integrates into pond maintenance without technical constraints.
👉 A natural solution for more balanced water and healthy koi.
In a koi carp pond, everything starts with the water.
Its mineral richness, stability, and ability to support life make all the difference between a “decent” pond and a truly balanced pond.
Aquipond BactoClay was formulated with this in mind: to provide a natural clay of exceptional purity, capable of recreating the conditions found in the most favorable environments for koi.
Derived from deep volcanic deposits, this clay contains 86% active montmorillonite and benefits from ultra-fine grinding (less than 50 microns). This fineness allows immediate dispersion in the water and rapid interaction throughout the pond, without visible deposits or accumulation.
From the moment it is introduced, the clay acts as a natural regulator. It captures toxins, binds certain heavy metals, and helps stabilize water quality. This work, invisible to the naked eye, helps create a healthier and more balanced environment in which the fish thrive more peacefully.
The effects are not limited to the water. In a properly mineralized environment, koi carp better absorb nutrients, digest more efficiently, and show more consistent behavior. Over time, this results in more natural activity and overall better resistance.
The impact on the fish’s appearance is also sought after by enthusiasts: skin quality gradually improves, colors deepen, and contrasts become sharper. This type of development occurs over time as the pond’s balance strengthens.
When added, the water may become slightly cloudy. This reaction is normal and indicates that the clay is working. The suspended particles capture impurities, which are then removed by filtration. In most cases, the water regains clarity within 24 hours, depending on the pond’s organic load.
Thanks to its extremely fine particle size, Aquipond BactoClay is perfectly compatible with drum filters, without disrupting their operation. The clay continues to circulate freely in the pond and exerts its action evenly.
Its use remains simple and easily integrates into regular maintenance: a weekly dose is enough to support the pond’s natural balance. For the most demanding users, it is also possible to incorporate a small amount directly into the feed to support digestion and nutrient absorption.
Beyond a simple effect on water clarity, Aquipond BactoClay fits into a holistic approach to the pond, where every element contributes to creating a stable, living, and sustainable environment.
