Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.)

Q. Will Kusuri Klay effect the pH of my pond water?
A. Not directly. A low PH reading will be registered on the milky solution prior to dilution in to the pond. It would take about 1 ton of klay to 5000 gallons to produce any significant permanent effect.

Q. What about the water hardness?
A. The carbonate hardness ( CaC03 ) is part of the temporary hardness can be improved. This in turn will help to act as a buffer against swings in pH.

Q. How long does Kusuri Klay take to clear in the pond?
A. In the average bottom drain filtered pond, about 6 hours. In bottom pump fed ponds up to 18 hours, Water clarity and sparkle will be self evident in about 24 hours. Clarity improvement can take a few doses if water conditions are poor.

Q. Will Kusuri Klay remove protein scum and large particles in water?
A. Ionic reaction in the lattice structure of the clay effectively draws minute organic particle matter into the clay, it will also adsorb unwanted protein in solution as well. (Excess protein in water is converted into the unwanted Ammonia pollutant.) clay is not able to remove large particles like blanket weed.

Q. What happens to the clay when it settles out in the pond water?
A. Clay is only partially soluble in water. Be under no illusion no Montmorillonite offered for sale will fully dissolve! If it does, its not Montmorillonite clay! However our clay leaves far less
precipitation. The university research has shown that most of our clay will actually be eaten by Koi. A white hue to the walls and bottom may be evident after 24 hours, a little clay will be left as a deposit in the pond which will soon be filtered to a slow degradable waste.

Q. At what temperature should I use Kusuri Klay?
A. Re-mineralising the pond is beneficial to Koi health at any temperature all year round.
