The Pond Guy Seasonal Defense is a natural, beneficial bacteria treatment infused with barley straw! The natural bacteria in Seasonal Defense accelerates the decomposition of leaves, scum, and sediment that builds up during the fall and winter months.
The activated barley combats common water quality issues to keep water clear. It’s a great one-two punch to maintaining clean, clear pond water.
Natural Bacteria & Barley Treatment Accelerates Debris Decomposition No Mess Water Soluble Packets
Benefits of Beneficial Bacteria
When hungry beneficial bacteria are introduced, they instantly begin consuming and digesting organic debris, rapidly converting it into an odorless gas that escapes unnoticed from the water column. This process results in clean, clear pond water and an improved overall ecosystem.
Benefits of Barley
First reported in scientific journals in the early 1990s, it was discovered that barley straw releases small but steady quantities of extract during the decomposition process, which improves water clarity. Adding barley is a natural solution to maintaining clean and clear pond water year-round.
Easy Application & Reduced Maintenance
Simply toss water-soluble packets into your pond. No mixing or measuring required! When used consistently as part of your pond care routine, Seasonal Defense will maintain your pond’s water clarity and reduce the frequency of routine maintenance chores.

Use Seasonal Defense when water temperature is between 40-50°F. We recommend a pond thermometer to monitor temperatures.
