It does not restore GH or essential minerals. Mineral Recharge corrects \u003cstrong\u003eboth GH and KH\u003c\/strong\u003e, supplying calcium, magnesium, potassium, and bicarbonates for stable, balanced water chemistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often should I use Mineral Recharge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor initial correction, use once when GH or KH is low. For maintenance, use every 1–2 weeks or after water changes. Always test GH and KH before repeating full doses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I overdose Mineral Recharge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Overuse can raise GH and KH higher than needed, and it can swing pH rapidly. Always test before dosing, monitor water, and add slowly. More is not better with water chemistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Mineral Recharge safe for koi, goldfish, and plants?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It contains \u003cstrong\u003eno medications, no copper, and no sodium chloride\u003c\/strong\u003e. Safe for koi, goldfish, biological filters, and aquatic plants when used as directed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes Mineral Recharge replace Koi Klay Boost?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. They serve different purposes and work best together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use Mineral Recharge in winter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, as long as the pond is unfrozen and circulating. Stable minerals are especially important in cold water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a disease or parasite treatment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Mineral Recharge is not a medication. It corrects foundational water chemistry to reduce stress and improve resilience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need test kits?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
