Product Description
Koi Pharma® Pure Salt is an all-natural, effective, and economical koi treatment designed to combat a broad spectrum of ailments. It is perfect for controlling parasites and protozoa infestations, including Dactylogyrus, Bryodcytulus, Epistylis, Trichodina, and Chilodonella. This treatment reduces stress levels in new and existing koi, improves gill function and oxygen intake, and promotes electrolyte intake to fortify the protective slime coat, which shields against parasites, bacteria, and other toxins. Additionally, it aids in osmoregulation issues caused by bacterial ulcers and helps clear congested gills, promoting recovery from sickness.
Koi Pharma® Pure Salt is a proven solution against nitrite toxicity, preventing Brown Blood Disease when used as directed. It effectively combats stubborn bacterial infections and protozoan parasites, including costia, trichodina, chilodonella, flukes, and other ectoparasites. Containing no iodine, chloride, or other harsh chemicals, it is safe for fish, birds, plants, and domestic animals that drink from the pond when dosed correctly. Available in 4-lb, 10-lb, or 20-lb bucket sizes, Koi Pharma® Pure Salt is a necessary product for your koi medicine cabinet and a go-to treatment when quarantining new or sick fish.
