It works in two steps: it vacuums into its 30-litre tank, then empties it automatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1 L bottle of Bactovase Liquid treats 20 m³ during start-up (50 ml per 1,000 litres) or 40 m³ for maintenance (25 ml per 1,000 litres). The bacteria work in water between 6 °C and 25 °C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAquiflor's tip\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVacuum first: the device removes most of the sludge, then the bacteria digest the remaining organic matter. Dilute the dose of Bactovase in about 3 litres of water, spread it over the entire surface of the pond, turn off the UV devices for the next 24 hours and repeat the application once a month as long as the water remains above 6 °C. Let the PondoMatic V4 finish its automatic emptying before resuming suction: this is its normal two-step operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSavings: €18.10 compared to buying separately\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pontec","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56505810911617,"sku":"PACK-50754-BACTOVAS01L","price":171.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/1810\/4382\/files\/pack-vase-pm-1l-contenu.jpg?v=1794646701","url":"https:\/\/iquishop.com\/en\/products\/pack-nettoyage-de-vase-pondomatic-v4-bactovase-liquide-1-l","provider":"Boutique Aquishop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
