NovAqua+ Tap Water Conditioner

Pond NovAqua Plus neutralizes chlorine and the full effect of chloramines Chloramines in municipal water supplies are a very serious problem for aquarists and pond keepers. Chloramines are a combination of chlorine and ammonia that together make a chemical compound that is much more stable and highly toxic to viruses and bacteria than either is alone. Chloramines are also very toxic to fishes and aquatic invertebrates. Over 50% of all municipalities in the U.S. now have chloramines added to the water supply. The American Water Works Association now strongly recommends that all municipal water suppliers add chloramines to their water supply, because of increasing amounts of pathogens in water sources due to water pollution. Chloramines are are lethal to all water-breathing aquatic animals. It is becoming essential that aquarists and pond keepers use a chloramine remover in all water that they take from the tap for their fishes and aquatic invertebrates. Pond NovAqua Plus buffers tap water When tap water is used, it comes out of the tap greatly reduced in oxygen. When tapwater that is low or devoid of oxygen comes in contact with the air its pH fluctuates rapidly while it is picking up oxygen and carbon dioxide. If tap water is added directly to the aquarium in which fishes and aquatic invertebrates are living, the fluctuations in pH can be very stressful, and may be lethal. Pond NovAqua Plus contains a high capacity buffering system that stops pH fluctuations in the water, stabilizes acidity/alkalinity to avoid pH shock, and allows fish to adapt safely to new environments. Pond NovAqua Plus detoxifies heavy metals Toxic metal ions in water can come from various sources, including home and commercial plumbing, medications, decorations and metal objects placed in the aquarium or pond, etc. It is essential to detoxify heavy metals in the water supply for the fish to survive. The detoxifying capability of Pond NovAqua Plus precipitates the metal ions into harmless compounds, rather than chelating them. Pond NovAqua Plus forms a unique insoluble, polymeric salt with heavy metals that is stable under conditions of both high and low pH. This is a notable advantage over other products that rely strictly upon the chelation process. Pond NovAqua Plus removes iodine When using iodine as a treatment, its effect can be reduced or eliminated by using Pond NovAqua Plus. Pond NovAqua Plus works with all filters, aerators, and protein skimmers There is no interference between Pond NovAqua Plus and all types of filters, protein skimmers, and aerators.
