How It Works

API Pond-Zyme Sludge Destroyer works by releasing a combination of beneficial bacteria and enzymes into the pond water. These bacteria begin breaking down organic matter as soon as the product is added, digesting fish waste, algae, leaves, and other debris that contribute to sludge buildup. The enzymatic action accelerates the breakdown process, preventing cloudy water and clogged pumps. By converting organic debris into harmless byproducts, it improves water quality and minimizes pond maintenance.
