safety and precautions
safety and precautions
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
- Do not ingest.
- Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
- Test ammonia levels before and after treatment using an ammonia test kit.
- Perform partial water changes if ammonia is present before treatment.
- Maintain water temperature below 75°F (24°C) when adding Ammo-Lock for optimal effectiveness.
- Ensure pond volume is accurately measured for correct dosing.
- Use with compatible ammonia test kits (e.g., PondCare Liquid Ammonia Test Kit).
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Treated ammonia will still show on compatible ammonia test kits but is in a non-toxic form.
- Does not directly eliminate ammonia odor but reduces stress and promotes healthy gill function.
- The non-toxic ammonium produced is processed by nitrifying bacteria as part of the nitrogen cycle.
