    from feedback from others subsequent doses do clear a lot quicker - I aim to administer the next dose at the same time as I did my initial to compare

    Did you do the double dose on the first one ? I didnt because with 10,000 gallons that would have been 1 kilo of a 5kg tub gone straight away so only half dosed from the start.

    What is your source water kH reading ? As where I live it is very poor and over the years I have given up trying to increase it so use a buffer to protect the pH, stability is better than a high level.

    at source is 2 - and up until the recent pH crash I was quite happy but I suppose it has made me a bit edgy and feel that if I had a higher KH it would give me more of a safety net.
    How are you finding this product ?

    The only way I know of that works is the Lithaqua in the system.

    My pond is still a little cloudy at the moment and the pH has risen a couple of point tenths not checked the Kh. Looking forward to seeing the water sparkle and the skin quality improve.

    second of the weekly doses put in today and appears to be clearing quicker. nexus is picking up a lot of weed at the moment flushed on sunday and again today and yet I thought I was clear of any blanket weed. I don't know if this effect has been reported before or if it is a coincidence

    That sounds good that the blanketweed is getting broken up and collected in the nexus, not the easiest things to clean with blanketweed.

    Have you noticed the koi being more hungry using replenish ?

    definately, but still too cold to give them. Everytime I go near the pond the chags are there waiting. Also noted a deeping of the sumi on some of my koi especially the kumonryu

    well the benefits for me have been - kh holding steady at 2, pH at 7.5, increased clarity and definately an improvement in the colour of the koi.
    I will continue to use this product and monitor against my initial results.
    Compared to the price of other water additives I would advise anyone to give it a go and see for themselves
