Virkon Aquatic Tablets

Each pack of Virkon Aquatic Tablets contains 50 effervescent tablets designed for sterilizing, antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal treatment of koi and garden ponds. Now widely recommended for disinfection against Koi Herpes Virus (KHV), these easy-dissolving pink tablets are essential for maintaining pond health.

Why Choose Virkon Aquatic?

  • Advanced Disinfection: Developed specifically for the UK aquaculture industry, Virkon Aquatic builds on the legacy of Antec Virkon S, the world’s most proven veterinary disinfectant. Independent research shows it effectively targets a broad range of major fish pathogens, including ISA (Infectious Salmon Anaemia) virus and IPN (Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis) virus, even in low temperatures and high organic loads.
  • Comprehensive Pathogen Control: Virkon Aquatic ensures complete pathogen control in all aspects of fish production, including broodstock/hatchery, freshwater production, seawater production, and processing stages.
  • Environmentally Friendly: With a favorable environmental profile, Virkon Aquatic is readily approved for individual farm discharge requirements and offers excellent operator safety with no occupational exposure limits.
  • Proven Effectiveness: Renowned for defending koi against bacterial ulceration, fin rot, and fungal attacks, Virkon Aquatic shows noticeable results within 12 hours for mild fin rot infections.

Virkon Aquatic Product Line:

We stock the complete range of Virkon Aquatic products, designed to create a balanced environment in koi ponds without decreasing the efficiency of biological filters. Over 25 years of development have resulted in one of the most modern and advanced disinfectants available.

Key Benefits:

  • Safe for Fish: Virkon Aquatic does not contain harmful detergents and has minimal environmental impact, making it safe for koi and other sensitive species like Orfe and Sturgeon.
  • Regular Use: It helps control viruses, bacteria, fungi, yeasts, and molds. Ideal for quarantining new koi, cleaning equipment, and foot baths on fisheries.
  • DEFRA Approved: Approved by DEFRA for controlling notifiable diseases like Infectious Salmon Anaemia and Koi Herpes Virus.

Usage Instructions:

  • Pond Conditioning: Use Virkon Aquatic as a pond conditioner or a powerful disinfectant for sanitizing equipment. It has been safely used for in-water sanitization at up to 20g per 5000 liters (1000 UK gallons).
  • Dosage: For pond use, add 1 x 5 gram tablet per 1000 gallons, depending on water hardness.
  • Disinfectant Solution: Add one tablet to every 500ml of water to make a 1% solution. Allow it to dissolve completely, thoroughly wet all surfaces and equipment with the solution, leave for 10 minutes, then rinse. The 1% solution remains stable for 5 days, but for best results, any residue should be discarded daily.

Effective Pathogen Control:

  • Complete Control: Disinfects aerial, water system, and surface areas, including food contact surfaces.
  • Powerful: Proven effective against all major fish viruses.
  • Cold Water Efficacy: Works effectively at low temperatures against key fish pathogens.

Use Virkon Aquatic Tablets to maintain a healthy and disease-free pond environment.
