2. JBL PROAQUATEST LAB Koi - Water analyses with the professional test case
Crystal-clear water, healthy fish and no algae - that's what every pond lover wants. To ensure that these wishes are fulfilled, regular and professional water analysis is essential. This can easily be carried out at home in just a few minutes and allows even beginners to determine the values reliably. After all, clear water and no algae doesn’t always mean everything’s alright. This is why the water test is a tool no pond owner should be without.

3. JBL PhosEx POND Direct - Phosphate remover to combat thread algae
The cause of algae growth, such as thread algae, is not only annoying, but can also become a problem for your koi, goldfish or biotope fish. With JBL PhosEx POND Direct the algae nutrient phosphate is removed immediately. Use it as a preventative and also directly after the algae treatment. What could be better than a garden pond with clear water and healthy fish?

4. JBL PondOxi set - Oxygen and ice preventer
Oxygen is the elixir of life. In summer and winter especially, there is often not enough oxygen for your pond fish and it needs to be actively supplied. High temperatures and a closed ice cover are the reasons for this. The bubble stone with diaphragm pump can help to keep the oxygen content constantly high, even in difficult phases. Reassurance for you - well-being for your fish.

5. JBL PROCRISTAL UV-C Compact plus - For crystal clear pond water
Crystal clear and healthy water - no algae. With a JBL PROCRISTAL UV-C Compact plus in the sizes 18 W and 36 W, you not only reduce the germ density of your pond water and thus prevent diseases, but also kill any algae spores floating around in the water. The UV-C water clarifier is worth investing in - whether for prevention or for active use. You’ll see the difference.

6. JBL StabiloPond KH - Carbonate hardness for optimum balance in pond water
The correct carbonate hardness is crucial for the well-being of the fish. The pH value is stabilised and thus the balance in the pond is maintained. Most problems can be traced to an imbalance, so it is essential to add JBL StabiloPond KH after heavy rainfall or before algae treatment.

7. JBL BactoPond - Biological pond cleaner for healthy water
If there is one thing you can rely on in the pond, it is the cleaning bacteria. They are there to break down biological pollutants in the water (protein, ammonium/ammonia, nitrite). The work of the bacterial strains can be weakened by strong weather influences. It is therefore always a good idea to have a liquid biological pond cleaner in the house. It can also be used as a pond starter in spring to create a healthy bacterial flora and support the pond's self-cleaning ability.

8. JBL pond landing nets S & M - Fine meshed or coarse meshed premium nets
There are not only fish to catch in the pond. Leaves and dead plant debris need to be removed much more frequently. The sturdy pond landing net with telescopic shaft and a foam handle for a good grip helps with this. The red colour of the aluminium frame makes it less visible to the fish and enables easier catching. A coarse and fine tool that no fish owner should be without.

9. JBL SediEx Pond - Sludge reduction for a clear pond bottom
Faeces, plant remains, pollen and other components accumulate at the bottom of the pond. In addition to healthy pond care and sludge siphoning, JBL SediEx Pond can help break down sludge with the bacteria and active oxygen it contains. An ideal support for preventing algae, putrefaction processes and thus fish losses. A must for annual maintenance in spring!
