The BiospherePro is a unique, time-release, microbe dispensing system that will release fresh beneficial bacteria into your pond without the need for frequent dosing, or guessing about how much to use.  The spheres are conveniently sized to treat ponds from 10,000 gallons up to millions of gallons and will work for a full 30-day period before becoming depleted and slowly biodegrading in the pond.  You can also remove them and recycle the entire sphere and its contents as well.  Everything is biodegradable!

Beneficial bacteria work as natural pond cleaners while reducing and balancing nutrients that feed unwanted plant growth.  Simply choose the sphere below that exceeds the gallon volume of your pond.  If you need assistance figuring that number out, please use the pond calculator to estimate the gallon volume.  Use the max width, max length, and max depth to insure you are not under-dosing the product.

Combining the Biosphere with robust pond aeration can be very beneficial.  The microbes found in the spheres work better when dissolved oxygen levels are above 5 mg/l in a pond.  

Ultrasonic algae control devices such as our Pulsar system will not harm beneficial microbes (unlike copper based algaecides), and along with aeration, help to provide a non-chemical trifecta defense against algae growth.  

Frequently Asked Questions: BioSphere Pro Beneficial Bacteria

How does the BioSphere Pro "time-release" system work?

BioSphere Pro uses a proprietary, biodegradable sphere that slowly dissolves over a 30-day period. As it breaks down, it continuously dispenses concentrated beneficial bacteria and enzymes into your pond. This eliminates the need for daily or weekly dosing, ensuring your water stays consistently treated without you having to remember a schedule.

Does BioSphere Pro kill algae like an algaecide?

No, and that is its greatest strength. Unlike algaecides that kill algae directly (which can lead to oxygen depletion and fish stress), BioSphere Pro works by "starving" algae of its food source. By consuming the excess nutrients, fish waste, and organic sludge that algae feed on, the bacteria create an environment where algae struggles to thrive naturally.

Is it safe for my fish, pets, and pond plants?

Yes. BioSphere Pro is an all-natural, eco-friendly product that is completely safe for fish, horses, dogs, livestock, wildlife, and aquatic plants. It is designed to work with your ecosystem to improve water clarity and reduce muck, not against it.

How often do I need to replace the spheres?

For best results, we recommend replacing the sphere every 30 days throughout the active pond season (when water temperatures are 45°F or above). If your pond has a very high nutrient load or heavy fish population, you may find that the bacteria work even better when supported by robust aeration, which provides the oxygen the microbes need to perform at their peak.
