It acts against pathogens, reduces the number of germs, and combats viruses, bacteria, and fungi.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are two very serious viral diseases: \"Koi Herpes Virus\" (KHV) and \"Spring Viremia\". As with all viral diseases, no specific treatment is yet possible. However, supportive measures combined with biosecurity measures, such as those applied in farming, limit the spread of the virus. This is the best that can be achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo prevent the loss of Koi and help reduce potential viral diseases, House Of Kata has developed effective biosecurity programs. These programs help improve the health and well-being of Koi and are also used in commercial fish farms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Virkon®?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeveral viruses, including \"herpes\", pose serious threats to Koi owners. Many fish carry them without showing the slightest sign. When these carriers come into contact with susceptible fish, they can shed the virus into the water in stressful situations, leading to infections and very high fish mortality. It has been independently demonstrated that Virkon is highly effective against major fish diseases\/pathogens. Recent research in fish farms has shown that if Virkon is added at a rate of 2 grams per 1,000 litres of water, Virkon breaks down in the water and has low toxicity. This dosage does not completely disinfect the water like concentrated disinfectants, but purifies it and thus reduces the availability of viruses that can be contaminated. It is therefore better to speak of a form of water conditioning rather than fumigation or disinfection. A very important property for use in koi carp ponds is that Virkon significantly reduces the level of pathogenic bacteria and certain protozoan parasites in the water (bacterial pressure).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKoi are kept in closed systems with biological filters in which the water circulates. This makes continuous dosing with fresh water very difficult. Because the different viruses, including \"herpes\", pose a major problem, \"DuPont Animal Health Solutions\" sought a solution in collaboration with Biosecurity. A system has been developed that will provide good water conditions under normal circumstances. This without reducing the efficiency of the biological filters or allowing the concentration of Virkon to reach toxic levels. Virkon is above all a powerful virucidal disinfectant intended to disinfect aquatic equipment. It is effectively used in Koi ponds to purify the water from various viruses, including \"herpes\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePurify Koi pond water with Virkon® S\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost Koi ponds are equipped with a water pump, a microbiological filter, and a UV light source. However, UV and\/or ozone equipment must be turned off before dosing. After dosing, as soon as Virkon has spread through the pond water, the UV and\/or ozone can be reactivated. Make sure that the circulation pump or pumps are actually running during the Virkon distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDosage\/Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Preferably mix Virkon® S in a bucket of water and distribute evenly over the pond\/quarantine. UV and\/or ozone equipment must be turned off before dosing. After dosing, as soon as Virkon has spread through the pond water, the UV and\/or ozone can be reactivated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHouse Of Kata adds an important parameter to \"Measure, that is to know\".\u003cbr\u003eFor years, common water values such as ammonium, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate have been measured. House Of Kata adds bacterial pressure to this. It has been found that pathogenic bacteria settle in the walls, bottoms, corners, and pipes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does Virkon® S work\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVirkon is a patented formulation based on a complex oxidizing system in which a number of biocides are simultaneously effective against the physical (and chemical) components of a pathogen. The addition of a surfactant increases permeability, the presence of a buffer stabilizes the low pH, and optimizes disinfection. It acts on organic contamination and is insensitive to temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Kata","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48325234360638,"sku":"8574","price":159.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/1810\/4382\/products\/foudebassin-com-house-of-kata-virkon-2-5kg-8574-29567421481073.jpg?v=1704362764","url":"https:\/\/iquishop.com\/en\/products\/house-of-kata-virkon-2-5kg","provider":"Boutique Aquishop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
