Keeping a pond clear and beautiful isn't hard if you understand how an ecosystem works. First, anyone who claims all you need are plants, a filter, or a chemical to keep a pond clean doesn't understand how pond ecology functions (or they are just trying to sell you something). To keep water clear, you need a mechanical and a biological filter, plants, fish, and bacteria to work in unison to create a natural working ecosystem. You'll be ensured a crystal clear, low maintenance pond if you use the right ingredients. All of Aquascape's water treatment products are 100% natural.</li> </ul> <p aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"><table aria-level="0" class="productinfo" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tbody aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> <tr aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> <th aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" colspan="2">Specifications</th></tr> <tr aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> <td aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Units of measurement</td> <td aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">%</td> </tr> <tr aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> <td aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Range</td> <td aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">0.00 - 1.00%</td> </tr> <tr aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> <td aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Resolution</td> <td aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">0.01%</td> </tr> <tr aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> <td aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Accuracy</td> <td aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">&#177;0.03%</td> </tr> <tr aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> <td aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Battery Type</td> <td aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">4 x 1.5V Button Cell (Alkaline A76 or equivalent)</td> </tr> <tr aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> <td aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Battery Life</td> <td aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Approximately 150 hours (Continuous Use)&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> <td aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Automatic Shut-off</td> <td aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Approximately 15 minutes&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> <td aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Temperature Compensation</td> <td aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Automatic 0 - 50 degrees Centigrade</td> </tr> <tr aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> <td aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Operating Temperature</td> <td aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">0 - 50 degrees Centigrade</td> </tr> <tr aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> <td aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Size (L x W x H)&nbsp;</td> <td aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">170mm x 32mm x 15mm</td> </tr> <tr aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> <td aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Weight</td> <td aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Approximately 70 g&nbsp;</td> </tr> </tbody> </table></p> <p aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"><font aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" color="#0000ff" size="4"><strong aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">TJB-INC TESTING TIP:</strong></font></p> <ul aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> <li aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">&nbsp;Because high levels of salt in your pond water will injure plants and fish, be sure to have some sort of salinity measuring device before adding any salt.
