Orders are lodged with Australia Post every Monday, Wednesday & Friday OR unless otherwise arranged with Rob
Potassium can quite often be deficient in aquaponics systems, particularly in newer systems planted out with a lot of fruiting or nutrient demanding plants. Potassium Bicarbonate (KHCO3) is a perfect source of potassium for your plants and can help stabilise pH by adding alkalinity to the water.

PLEASE NOTE..
It is recommended that you check pH regularly when using any bicarbonates in your aquaponics system. Bicarbonates have the ability to raise alkalinity & in turn, the pH of your system. Sudden shifts can be a health hazard to your fish.

• Add no more that 1 scoop (approx. 10g) per 200L when first using KHCO3.
• Guard against pH shock to your fish by adding a little at a time & monitor your pH after each addition to gauge effects of dosage used.
• Add KHCO3 under water inlets in grow beds where potassium can be used by plants & potential rapid pH adjustment can occur away from direct contact with fish.
• Amount required to raise pH will vary between aquaponics systems & differing water parameters.
• While this product is food grade it has been weighed & packaged using a non food grade packing process so is not fit for human consumption.
