Bacterius® EQUINOX, Cold Water Beneficial Bacteria Treatment

Bacterius EQUINOX is a cold water treatment for spring and fall. Bacterius Equinox improves water quality in cold water, preserving the health and vitality of the animal and plant life in the pond. Benefits Our conditioner is composed of non-pathogenic bacteria selected and isolated for their capacity to decompose naturally and completely the organic materials present in water or muck. These bacteria produce hydrolytic enzymes in large quantities, that adapt and colonize easily in their new environment. Their rapid deployment in an aquatic environment ensures a dynamic balance between the generation and recycling of organic matter (mineralization). Bacterius® EQUINOX was developed to biodegrade cellulose material generated from dead leaves in autumn. Use Bacterius® EQUINOX for: Natural clarification of pond water Biodegrading the organic matter suspended in the water and in the sludge (from uneaten fish food, fish waste or plant residues) Decreasing the concentration of various elements used in fertilizers (nitrogen and phosphorus) Ensuring better control of floating algae in the water Minimizing the damage of winter anoxic shock (fish kills) Facilitating the spring recovery of the pond Maintaining the integrity of bacterial biofilms until spring Reducing odours due to anoxic conditions (H2S) What Happens to my Pond at the End of Autumn? Where we are in Quebec, when October comes to a close, the leaves begin to fall to the ground, the outside temperature approaches zero and the ecosystem of your pond is preparing itself for winter. Due to these external conditions, your pond will benefit from treatment of beneficial bacteria digesting the new inputs of organic material that would otherwise accumulate at the bottom of your pond. Bacterius® EQUINOX allows your pond to keep the biological balance during the winter. What happens to my Pond in Spring? In spring, when the snow melts, some nutrients available in the soil can easily end up in your pond via surface runoff. It is also the season in which strong odours caused by H2S, created over winter in low oxygen water by anaerobic bacteria, make their appearance. The water temperature is still far too cool for the bacteria naturally present in the ecosystem of your pond to work. Thankfully, there exist strains that have the same benefits and thrive in cooler water. Adding Bacterius® EQUINOX to your pond in spring allows the reduction of excess nutrients in the water and eliminates odours in cold water conditions. Technical Specifications Bacterius® EQUINOX rapidly colonizes in the muck and quickly prevents the proliferation of sulfate-reducing bacteria that are responsible for H2S and contribute to anoxic conditions. H2S is a toxic gas that causes unpleasant odours (rotten egg smell) and deterioration of bacterial biofilms. Contains only active bacterial strains, no filling agents are used. Exceptional Stability without chemical preservatives. Bacterial population entirely sporulated. Contains only bacterial strains tested and identified by the DNA sequencing method.

The treatment stays where you apply it, close to the shore! Easy to use, efficient and economical Helps control plant growth Testimonial of a satisfied customer : " We have a small pond which is surrounded by trees that is used for swimming in the summer. Over the years the bottom was increasingly covered in soft mud and some water weeds started to grow in the swimming area. In2020 we used a one time application of Bacterius Muck at the end of the swimming season and the following summer everyone commented on how much more clear the water was and how in the swimming area the bottom feltlike sand instead of muck. The fish and frog who live in the pond were still healthy and the swimming area was so much more enjoyable! The Bacterius Muck was very easy to apply in the areas where the treatment was needed and we are so pleased with the results we are repeating the treatment with Bacterius Muck again. Great product, great service! Thank you! " K. Smolynec Bolton EST, Quebec Technical Specifications The granules are simply thrown onto the surface rich in sediment to be treated. Bacteria will start to consume the sometimes thick layer of organic sediment that makes swimming so unpleasant. Bacterius® MUCK stays where you applied it and works in situ, in direct contact with the sediment, rather than being diluted in the water column. Active in fresh and salt water. Once in contact with the sludge, the granules gradually dissolve and release the bacteria which feed on the organic sediment.

The pouches are made of water-soluble cellulose pouches and include barley straw to kisck-start the bacterial growth. Bacterius® 1B is an effective treatment to remove organic matter that causes water clarity problems. Bacterius® 1B reduces the odor and murky water associated with various types of accumulated organic wastes in lakes and ponds. From water gardens, to basins containing koi and/or goldfish, to lakes and ponds, Bacterius® 1B is a very affordable treatment to help preserve good water quality. Its unique composition merges various bacterial strains, allowing for an affordable and effective treatment. These bacteria present no danger to your fish, other animals or any human beings. In bodies of water, the accumulation of dead plants and animal waste forms an organic layer that reduces the available oxygen through decomposition and discharges pollutants, such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S), into the water. In some cases, the loss of oxygen can be so pervasive as to cause massive deaths in fish populations. The stress caused by low water quality can also reduce the fish's growth and make them more sensitive to disease. The micro-organisms contained in Bacterius® 1B feed on the waste produced by the plants and animals in the water body. The by-products caused by this natural transformation are carbon dioxyde, water and a protein-rich biomass of bacteria. Fish and invertebrates, such as zooplankton, snails, crayfish and other members of their respective families, all feed on this bacterial biomass. The waste produced by Bacterius® 1B becomes a natural source of food for fish and other aquatic fauna. With 1 billion viable bacteria (CFU) per gram, Bacterius® 1B is very popular among lake, pond and water garden owners. It is a very good tool in helping aquatic ecosystems naturally. Box content : 10Lbs box = 30 pouches / 25Lbs box = 75 Pouches Living product: avoid freezing and humidity exposure.FOR A LARGE-SCALE USE, PLEASE CONSULT US. We guarantee that the product has been manufactured under strict quality control standards that ensure optimal product quality. Tech Sheet (PDF)SDS (PDF) Dosage and Application Dosage Weekly dosage varies depending on the application, the fish and plant density and the amount of organic matter. Conditions needed: +10 °C / 50° F, pH 5 – 9 Application of dry bacteria Bacterius® pond bacteria products come in soluble pouches that are thrown into your pond. They work best when they are tossed near your aeration system, floating fountain or in-flowing water source or cascade. The movement of the water helps “steep” the bacterial pouch, much in the way a tea-bag is helped to release its content by adding gentle agitation. If there is little to no surface movement or aeration system, the pouches should be cut open and mixed in a bucket with pond water and then splashed uniformly across the pond surface in much the same way liquid bacteria is administered. If you do not have an aeration system or any other area of consistently flowing water, it is best to apply your bacteria in windy conditions. The wind will helps disperse your bacteria and give your pond some more oxygen for them to breathe. Sometimes, the easiest solution can be to simply throw the pouches on the water's surface and let nature do the rest. What's most important is not the way in which you administer the dosage, but the regularity at which it is applied! If your pond is already infested with algae and has poor water quality, an initial “shock treatment” (double dose) of a high dose of Bacterius® 5B bacteria should be done, followed by a treatment the following week and then a treatment every two or three weeks depending on the results obtained. A pond which is beginning to show the initial problems inherent with murky water and algae growth, but has not yet progressed to an alarming state of eutrophication requires a milder initial treatment, followed by a maintenance dose. For ponds and water gardens that are relatively healthy a low maintenance dose is added on a two or three-week program depending on environmental factors and achieved results, to prevent any nasty surprises. Either way, every pond is different and their treatments must be adapted to the results observed after their first applications as well as to the urgency in fixing the problem. NOTE: Bacterius® is composed of natural bacteria, that were especially created to restore and maintain the quality of water-based ecosystems. The bacterial content of Bacterius® did not undergo any genetic engineering; they are 100% natural and exist naturally in the earth, air and water. The principal effectiveness of these bacteria lies in their ability to secrete enzymes which degrade organic matter and help clarify pond water. The bacterial stocks are absolutely without danger to the environment, plants, people and animals. Information appearing in this website does not constitute in any way a guarantee of performance. Each case is different and dependent on a myriad of environmental and ecological factors. We assume no responsibility for the misuse of this product.

Bubble Tubing®, Fine Bubble Linear Diffuser

Exclusive to CanadianPond.ca, Bubble Tubing® is a linear air diffuser for aeration, de-icing and bubble curtains. It is designed and manufactured in Canada under our specifications. It provides a substantial and efficient transfer of oxygen to water. Benefits Fine bubble diffusers such as our Bubble Tubing® produce many tiny air bubbles (between 1 and 3 mm). These tiny bubbles rise steadily from the depths of all manners of aquatic landscapes, from wastewater treatment basins, to waterways, canals, ponds, lakes and lagoons. These bubbles provide a substantial and efficient mass transfer of oxygen into water. This oxygen, combined with organic nutrient sources, such as sewage and sediments, allows naturally occurring bacteria to produce enzymes to help break these sources down. Available Formats (Inside Diameters) 15 mm ( ½”) : Standard kits available online to purchase. 20 mm ( ¾”) : Contact us for a quote 25 mm (1”) : Contact us for a quote 30 mm ( 1 ¼”) : Contact us for a quote High oxygen transfer rate. A full evaluation of its oxygen transfer capabilities by an independent firm is available on demand. Applications range from farm ponds to the largest industrial projects. Suitable for fresh and saltwater applications, from shallow to deep waters. Inner pressure prevents clogging; tubing is low maintenance and anti-fouling. No moving parts or electricity in the water. Highly resistant PVC (chemicals, salinity, temperature). Weighted and non-weighted formats available. Tubing can be purchased with all the necessary hardware, ready to install. Video on Bubble Tubing® Our Bubble Tubing® Products Bubble Tubing® is sold standard cut, custom per foot, or by rolls of 500′. Contact us for prices and details.It is also a component of: CanadianAir Aeration Systems Mini-Air System Thawline Bubbler Deicers OctoAir Industrial Diffuser for aeration or deicing (embedded in the stainless steel frame) SalmoAir® Diffuser for upwelling in Aquaculture Technical specifications Made using highly resistant and flexible PVC plastic, Bubble Tubing® keeps its shape and does not kink. When entering the tube, the compressed air creates an internal pressure. Precise perforations on both sides, going the entire length of the hose, allow this compressed air to be released in microscopic bubbles. Their size helps prevent the hose from fouling, a common problem seen in porous diffusers. Once released, the rising air forms a uniform bubble curtain that optimizes the transfer of oxygen. It also promotes water circulation throughout the water column, as it creates a rising current. Using Bubble Tubing® reduces pressure drops and does not require any underwater electricity. Bubble Tubing® offers a superior global aeration performance compared to other aeration devices. Bubble Tubing® reduces power consumption, installation and maintenance costs substantially. When used in de-icing, the bubbles exiting the Bubble Tubing® drag the denser, heavier and warmer water from the depths to the surface. This movement of warmer water inhibits the formation of ice. Bubble Tubing® has an excellent Standard Oxygen Transfer Efficiency (SOTE) and a great Standard Aeration Efficiency (SAE). Please note that Bubble Tubing® will float in salt water.

In the summer of 2017 we gave GSEE Inc. another mandate to test the Bubble Tubing® at higher airflows and deeper depths, while also carrying out testing on our 1” Bubble tubing® and OctoAir-60 industrial diffuser. “Overall, the results obtained for the CanadianPond.ca Products Ltd. aeration systems were uniformly excellent and produced some of the highest SOTE values GSEE Inc. has observed.”Gerald L.Shell GSEE Environmental Consultants, LaVergne, TN, Sept.2011 Tech Sheet (PDF) Operations / Installation No matter the scale of operations the same basic principle applies: a compressor is connected to Bubble Tubing® through a heat hose line equipped with a check valve. We offer all the necessary products from start to finish to fully set-up a reliable and efficient aeration system for you. We can size the compressor for the application, suggest tubing layout, suggest cost effective design modifications, and offer to troubleshoot. Our experience designing aeration and de-icing systems with Bubble Tubing® is substantial, and our expertise is sought for many aeration projects. How to install Bubble Tubing (PDF) Installation Manual (PDF) Bubble Tubbing® require a compressor, costumers may choose between piston or diaphragm compressor. (Shop compressors here.) Compressor must be installed in a cabinet. This cabinet need to allow good air circulation to avoid overheating and protect de compressor from the weather. (More about cabinets here.) If the compressor is not installed in a cabinet, it is necessary that it is protected by a ventiled shelter. Once the shelter is identified, you will need to mount the compressor on its base and secure it with screws either to the wall, floor or on a shelf. Securing the base prevents the compressor from moving while it is running. It is not recommended to use an extension cord, make sure the electrical outlet is within reach of the compressor and fan wires; 1.8 m (6 feet). Schematic of a diffuser with Bubble Tubbing®; Before connecting the Bubble Tubing® to the feeder line, unroll it, making sure it is not twisted. Tubing well straighten allows a uniform dispersion of air through all its length. Let the tubing rest unrolled before the installation of the system. Bubble Tubing® is also compatible with torpedo. (More about Torpedo here.) If requested in advance, the Bubble Tubing® can already be connected to the check valve (assembly cost may apply). If installed in a large pond, Bubble Tubbing® installation can be done with a boat. Compressor must be started, unroll the pre-assembled hose to the shore and put the rest of the roll in the boat. While keeping the Torpedo feeder line in hands, go on the water and uncoil the Torpedo line until you reach the desired location for the Bubble Tubbing® diffuser. With the diffuser already connected to the Torpedo air feeder line, slowly continue lowering into the water the diffuser as it self-sinks to the bottom. With the compressor turned on, you should see bubbles and be able to use them as visual reference to make sure the tubing is diffusing through its length. If installed in a smaller pond, it is also very possible to install the system without a boat. (It is even recommended.) Start the compressor right before installing the diffuser in the water, the bubble will guide you to settle the diffuser at the desired place in the water. TUse a long rope (twice the length of the pond) and a small cord (1 to 2 feet long). Form a loop at the end of the diffuser using the small cord (loop shown in the images below). Pass the long rope through this loop, and while holding both ends of the long rope, use it to pull the diffuser into place in the water. The diffuser will sink into place at the bottom of the water. A second person should be hanging on the feeder line to help with the placement of the diffuser. Once in line with the wanted position, release one end of the long rope and pull on the other end to retrieve your rope. Do not underestimate positionning of the Bubble Tubing®, air is lazy, it will find the quickest way to go up. Place the Bubble Tubing® at the same depth keeping it as level as possible (maximum 1 foot drop). The tubing can be placed in a circle, curve, or straight line to follow a continuous bathymetric line (level curve at the bottom of the pond). Note that even if the Bubble Tubing® does not bubble evenly, you will still ensure a “vertical” water circulation in your pond. We recommend the use of a "depth finder" tool if you do not know the level curve at the bottom of the pond. If you install your unit into a body of water that is extremely stratified, use caution as you start it up. Suggested startup time for the unit for a stratified lake might be initially running for 1 hour per day during daylight hours for the first week and gradually increase operation by increment of 1 hour until running continuously. Sunny days are preferable to cloudy days because photosynthesis provides oxygen while the water circulates and mixes. For more information on the soft start procedure, click here. Applications Our Bubble Tubing® has been used for over a decade in a wide array of applications by various industries, governments, and private clients. Manufacturing and processing plants, mining, port authorities, aquaculture, agriculture, waterways and canals, parks and recreation, engineering, landscaping and reclamation firms, marine construction, universities and research facilities, ponds and lakes, are all markets currently using Bubble Tubing®.

Piccolo Air Diffuser

Our expertise in aeration comes from our many years of experience in the field of air diffusion technologies. This small diffuser requires little pressure to operate. We are the only retailer in Canada to offer the Piccolo diffuser. Benefits The piccolo is a small diffuser requiring little pressure to operate. It can be placed at different depths depending on the need, ideal for small ponds with little depth or with various depths. Here are the advantages seen when using bottom aeration: Circulation of the entire water column in relation to the depth of the diffuser and the volume of air injected; Elimination of thermal stratification (generally prohibited in the case of natural trout lakes); Increase in dissolved oxygen levels, which stimulates the natural aerobic digestion process, thus reducing the thickness of organic silt and the accumulation of sediment; Prevents fish kills during winter by increasing the oxygen available in their habitat; Reduces mosquito populations; Eliminates foul odors from unwanted gases; Reduces organic bottom sediments by avoiding sediment anoxia; Sequestration of phosphorus in sediments; Preservation of a healthy aquatic ecosystem. Technical Specifications This small diffuser is used in our SAS, Mini-Air and CanadianAir aeration systems. It is very suitable for ponds that are rather round or tank-shaped. Diffuser Type: Ballasted diffuser base using a porous pipe as the diffusion medium. Optimal CFM:  0.9 Bubble size: Fine Minimum pressure: No restrictions 1 year warranty Piccolo Tech Sheet (PDF) Piccolo Assembly Guide (PDF)
