Evolution Aqua PURE+ Filter Start Gel
Evolution Aqua PURE+ Filter Start Gel is a live, concentrated bacteria culture designed for use in new pond filters. In a liquid gel form, this filter starter should be used to kick-start newly installed filters or existing filters which have changed to brand new biological media. Easy to use, the filter starter can be poured directly over your filter media. As a result, the gel-based solution will stick to the filter media, allowing the bacteria it contains to colonise your filter quickly. Available in 1 litre and 2.5-litre bottles, this filter starter is capable of treating ponds from 10,000 to 25,000 litres.
What are the benefits of a pond filter starter?
Pond filter starters speed up the maturation process of the biological filter in your pond, allowing it to begin breaking down organic waste more efficiently. This helps maintain water clarity and reduces the buildup of harmful substances. The gel form ensures even distribution of beneficial bacteria across the filter media, promoting faster colonization and stable biological filtration.

Simon Langdon –
I used the filter starter after replacing my filter media. The water clarity improved noticeably within a week. The gel applied evenly and the bacteria seemed to establish quickly. Great product for new filter setups.
Sue Hart –
It worked well for my 15,000-litre pond. I poured it directly over the new filter media and saw a faster maturation than expected. A little more effort than expected, but effective.

After installing a new filter, I used the PURE+ gel to jumpstart the biological process. The filter started processing waste much faster. Easy to use and reliable.
