Is there any significant difference between the G1 and G2 iongen other than looks? I have a 10,000 gal pond using two aquascape waterfall filters, an aquascape uv light and also a ultima II biological filter. Would the iongen create any problem for the biological filter? Thanks for the help.
Yes, the G2 is much improved. It’s easier to use and has many…

Yes, you can use the old probe with the new unit but you will…

I currently have a pond measuring 10′x15′,approx.1700 gallons with a pump rated for 3,000 gph.can I use my existing equipment to convert over to a “pond less” waterfall or would I need supplemental/different equipment?

I have a pondless Waterfall. The waterfall rock has green slime (algae I assume) on it. How do I get rid of it? I am letting pondless waterfall run through the winter. I also put clokrine one time in it assuming it would help, but it just wound up foaming.
The green slime is string algae. String Algae is more prevalent…
Use the EcoBlast on the rocks. Pull off the algae and then treat the rocks. Or turn off and let the sun bake the algae off. Remove it and don’t let it get into your basin. Or use MicrobeLift Algae way 5.4 on a regular gasin.
You could do a water exchange no more between 10 and 20%. Use…

Is is safe for fish and plants to use Muck Reducer and the bacteria together? It is safe. Muck Reducer is a bacteria based product. Let me restate my question. How do I kill the brown algae, that is in our holding tank (600 Gallons)? We have a pondless waterfall.

My aquascape 1500 has died and we have a new aqua surge 2000. The connection on the 1500 is a 2″ discharge And the 2000 is a 1″ discharge. What part do I need to make the connection?
Since you have a 2″ check valve, you will need to purchase…

When the leaves fall into the pond, they have to decompose and…
We recently rebuilt our old pond to enlarge the size and fix some leaks. Unfortunately, after all of our hard labor, the pond continues to leak near the skimmer box (it’s an old school 2005 skimmer box for the micropond kit). I thought the problem was with the pump because I was losing all of my water in the skimmer box over night. When I removed the pump over night I still found wet soil outside of the skimmer box. Any suggestions for problem solving? We just purchased a check valve and I’m not sure where to attach it. Thanks for your help.
When a skimmer box has been installed over 5 years, it is sealed…
