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
Initial correction (low KH or GH):
1 cup per 1,000 gallons
If KH is below 3 dKH (~54 ppm), split into ½ cup, wait 6–12 hours, then add remaining ½ cup
Monthly maintenance:
¼–½ cup per 1,000 gallons, once every 3–4 weeks or after water changes, based on test results
Mineral Recharge is not a weekly additive.
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 Bicarbonate
Calcium Chloride
Magnesium Sulfate
Best Used With

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?
Initial correction: One-time use when GH or KH is low
Maintenance: Every 3–4 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. Always test before dosing. 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.
