Winston Company, Inc. has lead the biological water treatment industry for over 25 years by offering only the highest quality bacteria and enzyme solutions for sludge and pond treatment.
CrystalClear Clarity Max Plus will break down and reduce pond debris, thus making it easier to remove by pond filtration systems.
This product works best in ponds from 500 - 8,000 gallons, however very good results have been recorded on much larger projects (16,000 - 500,000 gallon ponds)
CrystalClear RapiClear is designed to clear water gardens and koi ponds quickly and safely by combining suspended particulate together. This process is commonly called “flocculation”.
Flocculation basically means that suspended organics within the water column attract together, making the accumulated mass heavier than water.
This “mass” will eventually drop to the bottom of the pond where a good bacteria colony can utilize the organic mass as food and remove it from the pond, or it will simply get removed by filters, skimmers, etc.
CrystalClear PondTint turns your pond an alluring shade of blue to help prevent photosynthesis from occurring with in the pond. This will help keep algae from forming, provide safety for fish from predators and will help keep water cool in the hot summer days.
CrystalClear PondTint is a mild dye and will not be an “overpowering” dye that you will not be able to see your fish. It is designed to act more like car window tint and not a complete cover.
Even low levels of chlorine and chloramines can be toxic to fish. These substances are added to cities water supplies to make the water safe for human consumption. However, they are extremely harmful to all pond life. Chlorine and chloramines cause gill damage which eventually results in gill lesions. These lesions will eventually thicken the gill filaments leaving fish unable to utilize oxygen and release carbon dioxide, thus resulting in fish death. To prevent this damage from occurring add CrystalClear Dechlorinator to your pond with each water exchange or when beginning a new pond. CrystalClear Dechlorinator has been designed to remove toxic chlorines/chloramine bonds and reduce the chlorine and ammonia down to non-toxic levels.
CrystalClear pH Salts Down will safely and efficiently lower the pH of an ornamental pond within safe ranges (6.5-9.0). If you water is hard or alkaline, a higher dose of CrystalClear pH Salts Down may be required.
CrystalClear Buffer will help to prevent wide pH swings which are very common in ornamental ponds from dawn to dusk due to respiration and photosynthesis. It is essential for ornamental ponds to maintain a buffering capacity of 80-240 ppm for pH stabilization.
CrystalClear Buffer will increase pH stability and will increase buffering capacity.
CrystalClear pH Salts Up will raise the pH of pond water to within safe levels. It is recommended to be used only when the pH of a pond is lower than 6.0.

CrystalClear Biological Clarifier Plus is an all-natural, freeze-dried bacteria and enzyme complex formulated to remove organic sludge.
CrystalClear Biological Clarifier Plus is fortified with several billion bacteria colonies per gram and six enzymes all selected and designed for their waste and green water degrading properties.
CrystalClear WS (Water Soluble) Plus
Most naturally occurring bacteria found in ponds cannot keep up with the constant load of organics entering the pond. Therefore, it is often necessary to inoculate ponds with bacteria and enzyme supplements to ensure clear, healthy water. Once the harmful organics and nutrients have been consumed the by-product excreted by the bacteria is harmless carbon dioxide.
EasyTreat Fungus keeps your koi or goldfish safe from commonly found parasitic protozoans such as, Ichthyopthirius, Trichodina, Costia and Chilodonella.
EasyTreat Fungus is also very good for treating many common bacterial diseases.
Algae-Off will help remove string algae from waterfalls, streams and rocks in seconds. Use the maintenance dosage of Algae-Off once a week and eliminate complete pond shut down for yearly clean-outs forever. Algae-Off will also keep fountain intakes clean and remove unsightly scum and algae from the perimeter of any size pond. Algae-Off is your personal pond cleaner in a bottle, without the time, money, mess, effort to catch the fish, drain the pond, wash and scrub the scum in the pond, refill the pond and put the fish back in hoping you don’t stress them and kill them. This usually 4 – 5 hour process can be eliminated forever by simply treating your pond once weekly with Algae-Off.
EasyTreat™ Bacterial is excellent for controlling gill diseases in pond and aquarium fish.
Bacterial diseases generally result from fish stress due to adverse water quality conditions (pH, oxygen or temperature problems), habitat clean-outs, untreated abrasions or predators.
CrystalClear EasyTreat Parasid is a widely used material by pond and aquarium hobbyists and professionals for control of infestations of fish lice, anchorworm and flukes which are common in pond and aquarium habitats. EasyTreat works extremely well on pond fish species such as koi and goldfish as well as on commonly found aquarium fish species.
EasyTreat ParaSalt is formulated to increase koi and goldfish electrolytic intake. Electrolytes are critical in building and maintaining a healthy slime coat. Electrolytes such as potassium are essential in wound repair and in times of heavy stress (ie – during water changes or clean-outs). Salt is excellent for mucous production when healing from a wound.
EasyTreat ParaSalt will also help ward off and remove most common protozoan parasites found in koi and goldfish such as, Dactylogyrus, Byrodctylus, Epistylis, Trichodina and Chilodonella. EasyTreat ParaSalt can be used in a salt bath for heavy infestations or as a routine treatment to keep parasites from entering the pond environment.
It is important to note that pH is typically lowest at dawn and higher at dusk. Fish respiration lowers the pH and photosynthesis raises the pH. Thus, it is very important to test your pond pH at the same time each day. Adjust pH at 0.2 points per day. A drastic change in pH may cause stress or even death in ornamental fish.
Crystal Clear Biological Clarifier is scientifically blended and tested to produce maximum results in ornamental ponds. Crystal Clear Biological Clarifier, when used as directed, will effectively remove sludge and ammonia to produce a healthier pond environment for all fish and aquatic plants. Crystal Clear Biological Clarifier contains very high bacteria and enzyme counts to treat ponds more efficiently and effectively.
CrystalClear Nitrifier contains special strains of bacteria that will safely convert ammonia and nitrite via a process known as nitrification. Once this process is complete toxic ammonia has been converted to harmless nitrate which can be utilized by aquatic plants as a nutrient source. Nitrifier will remove some nitrate on an anaerobic level but most of the remaining nitrate will be used by aquatic plants.
Ammonia at high levels will burn the surface of fish scales and gills thereby stressing the fish to the point of death. This dilemma can be diverted by simply applying a good nitrifying bacteria such as Nitrifier. Once the nitrification cycle is complete the net result should be little to no ammonia, nitrite or nitrate levels.
Nitrifier is designed to perform the same functions that the naturally occurring bacteria cannot perform. Most naturally occurring bacteria cannot keep up with the constant load of organics and algae entering the pond. Therefore, it is necessary to inoculate ponds with bacteria and enzyme supplements such as Nitrifier to ensure a clear, healthy system. Nitrifier is 100% safe for fish and plants and performs very well at seeding filters as well as the entire pond.
CrystalClear Foam Remover will remove protein foam from the pond or fountain’s surface in seconds. Many fountains are collection areas for a lot of organic materials. This build-up, in combination with the heavy aeration oftentimes results in foam formation. Crystal Clear Foam Remover removes protein foam from fountains and ponds, works in seconds, helps keep water clean, 100% safe & effective, easy application and is non-hazardous.
