EIHO PP Bath – Potassium Permanganate Aquarium Treatment

EIHO PP Bath is a ready-to-use potassium permanganate (PP) concentrate designed for aquarium fish treatment, disinfection, and water quality management. It is used to help combat common external parasites, bacterial infections, and fungal problems affecting fish, while also oxidising dissolved organic waste in aquarium and pond water.

Potassium permanganate is a powerful oxidising agent that helps reduce organic matter and improve water clarity. EIHO PP Bath can be used for treating fish through long immersion or short bath treatments, as well as disinfecting aquarium equipment such as fish nets.

Whether you maintain a home aquarium, ornamental fish collection, koi pond, or fish breeding facility, EIHO PP Bath provides a versatile treatment option when used according to the recommended dosage and safety instructions.

Key Benefits of EIHO PP Bath

1. Helps Combat External Parasites

EIHO PP Bath is used against common external fish parasites, including:

• Trichodina
• Costia
• Chilodonella

These parasites can affect fish skin and gills, potentially causing irritation, damage, and other health problems.

2. Helps Control Bacterial and Fungal Problems

Potassium permanganate treatment can help combat certain bacterial and fungal problems affecting fish, including conditions associated with skin damage, redness, and ulcers.

It can also be used as a preventive bath for newly transported fish when appropriate.

3. Reduces Organic Waste in Aquarium Water

EIHO PP Bath oxidises dissolved organic matter, helping reduce accumulated organic waste that can negatively affect aquarium water quality.

Excessive organic waste can contribute to poor water conditions and encourage the growth of unwanted microorganisms.

4. Improves Water Clarity and Reduces Odour

By oxidising organic substances in the water, PP Bath can help improve water clarity and reduce unpleasant odours in aquarium and pond systems.

5. Helps Reduce String Algae Growth

The oxidising action of potassium permanganate can also help reduce string algae growth in ponds when applied appropriately.

EIHO PP Bath – Dosage and Application Instructions

EIHO PP Bath can be used in three different ways, depending on the treatment requirement.

A. Long Immersion Treatment – Parasites and Bacteria

Recommended dosage:

1 cap (5 ml) per 50 litres of water

• Treatment concentration: 1.5 mg/L.
• Half the recommended dosage for small fish.
• Maintain good water circulation and aeration throughout treatment.
• Observe fish behaviour carefully during the treatment.

Understanding the Water Colour:

• Water initially turns dark purple after adding PP Bath.
• As potassium permanganate oxidises organic waste, the water gradually changes to brown.
• If the water remains slightly purple after 4 hours, active PP is still present.

Treatment can be repeated up to 3 times daily according to the product instructions. Stop treatment immediately if fish show signs of stress, such as gasping for air at the water surface.

Ammonia Detox can be added immediately after treatment to remove the effects of PP, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

B. Short Bath Treatment – Parasites and Bacteria

Recommended dosage:

5 ml per 10 litres of water

• Treatment concentration: 10 mg/L.
• Treatment duration: 5–20 minutes.
• Use for appropriate parasite and bacterial treatment or as a preventative bath for newly transported fish.
• Half the recommended dosage for small fish.
• Closely observe fish throughout the treatment.

Stop treatment immediately if fish display signs of stress.

Treatment can be repeated up to 3 times daily according to the product instructions.

C. Disinfecting Fish Nets and Aquarium Equipment

EIHO PP Bath can also be used to disinfect fish nets and suitable aquarium equipment.

Recommended dosage:

5 ml per 10 litres of water

Instructions:

1. Prepare a treatment solution using the recommended dosage.
2. Completely soak the fish nets or equipment for 30 minutes.
3. Remove the equipment and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
