Artificial fish ponds typically build up various toxins and organic matter which naturally occur due to the decomposition of fish and organic waste products. The breakdown of these natural pollutants acts to cloud the pond’s water. Through applying Summit’s Clear-Water Calcium Montmorillonite Pond Clay you can naturally remove these harmful by-products. Clear-Water Pond Clay’s ability to remove impurities from water is possible due to its unique ionic charge. Clay particles are negatively charged, and form ionic bonds with positively charged impurities in the water.
Through this process, relatively heavy clay particles bond to impurities, and sink to the pond bottom. These are then easily removed by the filter system, making the water crystal clear.
