How PURE+ Filter Start Gel Works

Evolution Aqua PURE+ Filter Start Gel contains live nitrifying bacteria suspended within a specialist gel formulation.

When poured directly onto pond filter media, the gel adheres to the surface and introduces beneficial bacteria where biological filtration takes place.

These bacteria help process ammonia and nitrite produced from fish waste and decomposing organic material.

Establishing beneficial bacterial colonies helps improve biological filtration and supports suitable pond water conditions.

Ideal for New Pond Filters

New pond filtration systems require time to develop the beneficial bacteria responsible for processing fish waste.

PURE+ Filter Start Gel helps introduce these bacteria directly onto biological media, supporting faster filter maturation.

It is also useful when replacing established filter media or restarting a suitable pond filtration system.

Suitable Filter Media:

• Evolution Aqua K1 Micro
• Compatible bead filter media
• Japanese matting
• Suitable biological foam media
• Other compatible pond biological filtration materials

Supports Ammonia & Nitrite Processing

Ammonia and nitrite are harmful to pond fish when present at elevated concentrations.

The beneficial bacteria contained in PURE+ Filter Start Gel help support the biological processes responsible for converting these compounds into less harmful substances.

Regular pond water testing remains important, particularly while a new filter is establishing.

Directions for Use:

1. Shake the bottle thoroughly before use.
2. Open the pond filter according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3. Pour the recommended quantity of gel directly over the biological filter media.
4. Ensure the media is adequately coated.
5. Reassemble the filter and restore normal water circulation.
6. Provide suitable aeration using an air pump and diffuser where possible.
7. If using a UV-C clarifier, switch it off during dosing and for 12 hours afterwards.
8. Monitor ammonia and nitrite levels regularly.

Always follow the manufacturer's current dosing instructions for your pond volume and filtration system.
