How much salt to add to koi pond?
Application Tips
- Type of Salt: Use non-iodized, pure salt specifically designed for ponds, avoiding table salt and salts with anti-caking agents.
- Dissolving Salt: Always dissolve the salt in a bucket of pond water before adding it to avoid burning the koi.
- Monitoring Levels: Regularly check the salinity levels using a digital salt meter to ensure they remain within safe limits.
Additional Considerations
- Avoid using salt continuously, as high levels can be harmful to koi over time, potentially causing kidney damage.
- Salt can help with disease prevention and recovery but should be used judiciously and primarily when necessary.
