Left untreated, it consumes dissolved oxygen, releases hydrogen sulfide, and shortens the life of pumps and filters. ClearLake Muck Eliminator Tablets release concentrated beneficial bacteria at the pond bottom, steadily breaking down organic sediment through the season. The 8 lb pail covers medium ponds through a full treatment program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConsistent Bacterial Action Through the Season\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach tablet dissolves over several days, creating sustained bacterial activity rather than a single-dose spike.
