MuckDown™

A scientific mixture of beneficial microbes and bio-stimulants designed to decrease pond sludge.

Our muck reduction product line offers superior microbes at the highest concentrations to help you enjoy your pond and beach area once again. MuckDown™ dives deep into crevices, penetrating the hard to reach areas with beneficial bacteria. If you are looking to reduce sludge buildup or clean the dark soils from the beach area of your pond or lake, then MuckDown™ should be a part of your routine maintenance.

Applications and Uses

Ponds, Lakes, Beach Areas, Waters where muck or decaying matter has built up.

Effortlessly clean crevices and hard-to-reach areas throughout your pond. The MuckDown™ product line is a 100% safe, long-term solution that eliminates cumbersome and labor-intensive pond maintenance. MuckDown™ comes in three forms for a variety of muck reducing applications and is a safe option for cleaning and restoring ponds to a state of health and balance.

MuckDown™ liquid treats an entire pond or small lake. MuckPucks™ and MuckSpikes™ are a solid proprietary blend of Bacillus spores designed to decrease the amount of organic matter buildup in ponds and water systems. MuckPucks™ are used to spot treat beaches and dock areas of ponds and lakes to reduce muck accumulation and improve water quality. MuckSpikes™ are for spot treating those extra thick muck layers when inserted deep into the problem areas.

This digestion occurs naturally, however, without MuckDown™ the process is very time consuming. With MuckDown™, that process is sped up dramatically and restores the pond to a state of health and balance. Place MuckDown™ directly into your pond and its multipurpose cleaning action tackles unsightly pond sludge, slime, waste and other organic materials.
