The reason you'd add this on: string algae on the waterfall and stream is the problem that keeps coming back. The IonGen G2 uses a microprocessor to release copper ions from a probe. The pond's own flow carries them through the water. Aquascape expect visible results within two to three weeks on ponds up to 100,000 litres.

Frequently asked questions
How long before I see a difference?
Aquascape say results are usually visible within two to three weeks. The IonGen works best on string algae and is less effective on some other types.
Is the IonGen safe to use with fish?
Yes, while the water chemistry stays in range. Keep copper below 0.25 ppm and alkalinity between 100 and 250 ppm; do not run it with fish if alkalinity falls below 100 ppm.
Does it harm beneficial bacteria or metal fittings?
Aquascape say beneficial bacteria are not significantly affected. Stainless steel, brass and aluminium fittings are not harmed.
Check your pond before you buy

Review of Aquascape ASA Dam Aerator, 1/4 hp
Twin diffuser aerator works great in the dam. We ordered 3 diffuser but only put 2 in due to size. Client is stoked with the results.

Review of Ochre Living Hotham Complete Fireplace Kit
We recently purchased a Hotham fireplace and couldn't be happier with the result. Hayden was extremely helpful in guiding us on the right size for our space, and the installation team did a fantastic job. The whole process was smooth from start to finish, and the fireplace has become a standout feature of our outdoor area.

Had a great purchasing experience with Hayden at My Acre. He helped me choose the right umbrella for our patio and couldn't be happier with how quick it arrived and how easy it was to setup by following the videos (I'm semi knowledgeable with assembling things) Highly recommend the retreat umbrella and service delivered by My Acre!

Review of Polito pizza ovens
I recently bought a Polito pizza oven from my acre. I was looking to replace an older outdated oven in my outdoor kitchen, which had started to fall apart after a few years cooking for the Boiz. I wasn't super stoked at first to spend this much on a pizza oven, but suppliers in NSW are hard to come by and Hayden was super helpful with organising getting it to me. I certainly wasn't upset when it arrived! I dont think I'll have to replace it any time soon
