Important for preventing disease and toxic build up
Especially important in Koi ponds
KH Plus is formulated with natural, biodegradable sodium bicarbonate, designed to help you achieve and maintain the ideal balance of calcium, magnesium, and carbon dioxide (CO²) in your pond ecosystem. This balance is crucial for the health and vitality of aquatic plants, fish, and other pond inhabitants. When the carbonate hardness (KH value) of pond water drops too low, it can lead to significant fluctuations in pH levels throughout the day, which may result in various issues, including increased susceptibility to fish diseases and excessive algae growth. To monitor your pond's KH levels, you can utilise our water test kit, available for separate purchase. Ideally, the KH value for a healthy pond should fall between 5° and 10°. If you find that the KH value is below 5°, using Pond KH Plus will effectively raise it quickly without causing any cloudiness in the water, ensuring a stable and healthy environment for your aquatic life.
How does it work?
The average carbonate hardness or KH value must be between 5-10. This value indicates the combination between calcium, magnesium and CO² value. The CO² value is significant for oxygen plants. So if the KH value is
high enough, then there is also sufficient CO². The use of Moerings KH Plus increases the carbonate hardness. If there is a strong deviation from the ideal value, most of the natural processes in your pond cannot take place. A good KH value is important for clear water and healthy plants. The plants extract minerals and rainfall
reduces the KH value. It is therefore important to use Moerings KH Plus regularly. Moerings KH Plus is a pure and natural top product. Food-proof products are used for this purpose. These products have excellent performance and maintain the values well.
Instructions - dosage
25 ml (1 measuring cup) increases 900 litres of pond water by 1 KH. This is an indicative value. In heavily polluted ponds, the increase may be less. It is important to measure this properly.
1 litre provides an increase of 4 KH for 8,000 litres of water
2,5 litres provides an increase of 4 KH for 20,000 litres of water
5 litres provides an increase of 4 KH for 40,000 litres of water
10 litres provides an increase of 4 KH for 80,000 litres of water
Is it safe?
Moerings KH Plus is completely biodegradable and safe for humans
and animals.

Live Plants
Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
