A number of very dangerous pathogenic strains of bacteria like Aeromonas, Pseudomonas, E. coli, , etc. can cause catastrophic fish losses in ponds.

This has created a strong demand for an effective preventive treatment that does not involve antibiotics, disinfectants, or any other sort of chemical products. A preventive treatment is intended to prevent infection, and assist in natural therapeutic recovery from disease infection.

Preventive treatment does not kill pathogens directly; it helps prevent and restrict their development. If pathogens get the opportunity to proliferate they can infect the least resistant fish. Good water quality reduces stress in fish and therefore reduces the risk of infection.
 
After extensive collaborative work with Kusuri Products, IET Aqua research have added such a product to their production program.  Bacta-Pur® PRO-100 is formulated to help reduce harmful water borne bacteria.
