Undesirable plant growth can become a nuisance in a water garden, pond or small lake that is not properly maintained. It can take away from it's natural beauty, and can create several problems, such as:

• Poor water clarity
• Clogged filters and drainage systems
• Odor problems and unwanted insects
• Health hazards to humans, livestock and wildlife.

The Triton Barley Pillow helps maintain a balanced ecosystem by enhancing the water environment so beneficial plants, microscopic organisms and animal life can flourish.

It's easy to use the Triton Barley Pillow. Plus, the cost is significantly less than utilizing chemical treatments. Each pillow will help provide a healthy water environment for approximately 12 weeks.

The process is simple. Once the pillow is placed in the water, the decomposition cycle begins. Through decomposition, the Triton Barley Pillow releases natural components that are present in many fresh-water and marine ecosystems, and beneficial to plant and animal life. The water may become slightly discolored at first, but as decomposition begins (after approximately 10 days), the water will begin to clear up.

Several components can ensure the effectiveness of the entire process. Warmer water temperatures can increase the speed of the entire process, while cooler temperatures slow it down. Increased sunlight and water movement can enhance the performance of the Triton Barley Pillow as well.

To provide continued benefit, Triton Barley Pillows can be used all year round. The pillows can be left in the water even after it freezes. Once the water thaws in the spring, add new pillows. The old pillows should be removed in approximately three-to-four weeks.

For optimum results, it is recommended that undesirable plant growth is removed before using the Triton Barley Pillow. Ideally, the initial application should be made in early spring before the water temperature reaches 50°F.
  

It is also important to maintain a proper nutritional balance in the water. This will help ensure a balanced ecosystem and create a more desirable environment for fish, beneficial plants and other aquatic organisms.

Additionally, the barley grain will sprout and grow into decorative grass. Other water plants can be grown in the Triton Barley Pillow, or it can be decorated with small ornamental statues for a more attractive pond or water garden.

So take advantage of the natural way to maintain the beauty and good health of your water garden, pond or small lake with the Triton Barley Pillow. It is a convenient, environmentally safe and economical solution that provides reliable results - time after time.
