Mineral Recharge

Mineral Recharge – GH & KH Water Stabilizer for Koi Ponds

Maintaining stable water chemistry is the foundation of koi health. Mineral Recharge by Krazy Koi Meds is a precision-formulated GH + KH water stabilizer designed to restore essential freshwater minerals commonly stripped from city water, RO systems, and rain-diluted ponds.

Unlike baking soda, which only provides a temporary KH increase, Mineral Recharge corrects both buffering capacity (KH) and general hardness (GH) — creating stable, resilient water conditions that support koi health, biofilter performance, and long-term pond stability.

This formula supplies calcium, magnesium, potassium, and bicarbonates — the core minerals koi rely on for proper osmoregulation, metabolic function, and stress reduction. By rebuilding the mineral foundation of your pond, Mineral Recharge helps prevent pH crashes, reduces osmotic stress, and supports efficient biological filtration.

Why Use Mineral Recharge?

• Stabilizes pH by restoring carbonate hardness (KH)
• Builds general hardness (GH) for proper ionic balance
• Supplies calcium, magnesium, and potassium
• Supports nitrifying bacteria and biofilter efficiency
• Reduces stress caused by mineral-poor water

No sodium chloride. No fillers. No unnecessary additives.

Performance & Dosing Reference

1 tablespoon (15 g) per 10 gallons raises approximately:

• KH: ~3–4 dKH (≈ 55–70 ppm KH)
• GH: ~45–60 ppm GH

Actual results depend on starting water chemistry.

Recommended Pond Dosing

Routine Maintenance: ¼ cup per 1,000 gallons weekly, for ponds with stable KH and pH.

Moderate KH Support: ½ cup per 1,000 gallons weekly, for heavily stocked ponds, high feeding rates, or ponds experiencing regular KH depletion.

Low KH Correction: 1 cup per 1,000 gallons if KH is below 80 ppm. Divide into two applications 24 hours apart.

Severe KH Depletion: 1 cup per 1,000 gallons every 24 hours until target KH is achieved. Test KH before each application.

Target Water Parameters

• KH: 100–200 ppm
• GH: 100–250 ppm
• pH: 7.8–8.6

Ideal For

• Soft or low-alkalinity koi ponds
• City water with unstable buffering
• RO or rain-diluted systems
• New pond setups and seasonal resets
• Preventing chronic KH loss and pH instability

Ingredients

Potassium Carbonate, Calcium Chloride, Magnesium Sulfate.

Best Used With

For enhanced trace mineral availability, slime coat support, and water polishing, pair Mineral Recharge with Koi Klay Boost. Mineral Recharge corrects water chemistry; Koi Klay Boost enhances mineral utilization and water quality. They are complementary — not replacements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Mineral Recharge used for?

Mineral Recharge restores GH and KH in koi ponds, stabilizing pH, supporting biofilters, and correcting mineral-deficient water caused by city water, RO systems, rainfall, or heavy feeding.

How is Mineral Recharge different from baking soda?

Baking soda only raises KH and adds sodium. It does not restore GH or essential minerals. Mineral Recharge corrects both GH and KH, supplying calcium, magnesium, potassium, and bicarbonates for stable, balanced water chemistry.

How often should I use Mineral Recharge?

For initial correction, use once when GH or KH is low. For maintenance, use every 1–2 weeks or after water changes. Always test GH and KH before repeating full doses.

Can I overdose Mineral Recharge?

Yes. Overuse can raise GH and KH higher than needed, and it can swing pH rapidly. Always test before dosing, monitor water, and add slowly. More is not better with water chemistry.

Is Mineral Recharge safe for koi, goldfish, and plants?

Yes. It contains no medications, no copper, and no sodium chloride. Safe for koi, goldfish, biological filters, and aquatic plants when used as directed.

Does Mineral Recharge replace Koi Klay Boost?

No. They serve different purposes and work best together.

Can I use Mineral Recharge in winter?

Yes, as long as the pond is unfrozen and circulating. Stable minerals are especially important in cold water.

Is this a disease or parasite treatment?

No. Mineral Recharge is not a medication. It corrects foundational water chemistry to reduce stress and improve resilience.

Do I need test kits?

Yes. GH and KH testing is strongly recommended for proper use.

What if my KH is zero?

Split the initial dose into two applications spaced 6–12 hours apart to prevent rapid pH shifts.

Does Mineral Recharge contain fillers?

No. Every ingredient directly affects water chemistry.
