                          Against algae in the garden pond
                          AlgoPond Forte combats all kinds of algae (green water and thread algae) highly effectively by systematically affecting the algae’s metabolism.

                          JBL’s zero-risk concept
                          Algae can pollute the pond water and thus cause damage to the fish and the plants in the pond. In collaboration with scientists JBL has developed a concept for a permanent removal of algae.

                          “1-2-3 algae-free”
                          Stabilise the water: increase the mineral content for anti-algae agents (JBL StabiloPond) to work more effectively
                          Combat algae: add a suitable anti-algae agent (JBL AlgoPond) into the water
                          Limit nutrients: remove the nutrients of dying algae (JBL PhosExPond)

                          Easy use of AlgoPond Forte
                          Always use it in the morning. Determine the required quantity for the garden pond. Mix the calculated quantity with pond water in a watering can and spread it evenly over the pond. Don’t filter through activated carbon. Switch off any UVC devices for a week After use do not bathe in swimming ponds for 5 days.

                          Dosage: 50 ml per approx. 1000 l pond water.

                          FAQ
                          Can I use several anti-algae agents together in the pond?

                          Each JBL anti-algae agent has a special purpose. It is therefore not necessary to use several AlgoPond products at the same time. Use AlgoPond Green to combat green water. Use AlgoPond forte for thread algae and all other types of algae. If you want to change the product, allow a time interval of 14 days, a water change of at least 50 % and filtering via activated carbon. The products StabiloPond and PhosEx may, of course, be used together with an AlgoPond algae agent according to the 1-2-3 algae-free principle.

                          Is JBL AlgoPond Forte safe for fish?

                          With proper dosage and application JBL AlgoPond Forte is safe for fish.

                          What happens to the algae after I use an anti-algae agent?

                          Any anti-algae agent, such as JBL AlgoPond forte, AlgoPond green or Algol cause the dead algae to decompose biologically and then be broken down bacterially. This in turn leads to an enormous oxygen consumption by the bacteria (nitrification) and to the release of the nutrients nitrate and phosphate, which were "bound" in the algae. In principle, this feeds the next generation of algae. This is the reason why JBL always recommends binding the released nutrients as the last step in algae control after the targeted control of the algae with an anti-algae agent. Since it is sufficient to remove one of the two nutrients, we recommend you remove the phosphate, and this can easily be carried out with a good phosphate remover (JBL PhosEx Pond or JBL PhosEx).

                          By the way, it is always better to remove dying or dead algae by hand. The fewer algae are degraded, the fewer nutrients are released again!

                          Why should JBL AlgoPond Forte be used in the mornings?

                          During the day the pH value increases to potentially very high values, especially when there is an algae plague. With high pH values the effectiveness of JBL AlgoPond Forte is reduced. It is therefore important to stabilize the water in the evening as required, and then to carry out an algae treatment in the morning, when the pH value is reduced.

                          Can I use JBL PhosEx Pond Direct directly after JBL AlgoPond?

                          Do not use JBL PhosExPond Direct directly after JBL AlgoPond Forte. It is better to wait for about 3-4 days, until the algae have been visibly reduced and the nutrients, stored in the algae cells, have been released. Only then is the phosphate precipitation with JBL PhosExPond Direct useful and effective.

                          The same also applies to the control of thread algae with JBL AlgoPond Direct and the follow-up treatment with JBL PhosEx Pond Direct.

                          Pollen, The Algae Motor In The Pond

                          The car roofs are yellow, the windows dusty and on the water surface floats a yellow-green film of flower pollen and insects. Take immediate action, using preventive or immediate measures to make sure it won’t lead to problems.

                          A few algae in the pond do not pose a problem and even form a component of a healthy pond. But once the water turns green or „blanket weed“ algae become rampant, you then have a problem which needs fixing. Effective and longterm algae control consists of three steps.

                          PUSH messages from JBL

                          What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

                          A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event outside the context of a website, such as a new blog post, a competition or a voucher.

                          These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

                          To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

                          Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.
