Is this for you?

This is for you if…

  • You own a backyard koi or goldfish pond and it turns green every year
  • You're tired of $18 bottles that work for three weeks
  • You want the exact amount for YOUR pond — not 'add as needed'
  • You'd rather read one evening than guess another season

Skip it if…

  • Indoor aquariums — different world, different rules
  • Anyone who wants overnight results. Real fixes take weeks. The book says so up front.
  • Sick-fish emergencies — that's a job for an aquatic vet, not a book

Try it on your own pond first

Read the book. Run the quick-start weekend. Not convinced it will pay for itself this season? Reply to your receipt email within 30 days. You get every cent back. No questions. No forms.

About

Walt Merrick

Walt Merrick ran a pond-supply store in the Midwest for 36 years. He sold the bottles. He set the prices. He watched the same folks come back every three weeks. Now he's retired, and he tells the other side of it: the markups, the fixes too cheap for any store to sell, and how to keep koi alive without a shelf of chemicals.

Walt is a digital character. The face and voice on the channel are AI-generated. The pond advice is real. People research it and check it against trusted pond-keeping sources. Its one job: save you money without risking your fish.

The Playbook is the whole system from the channel in one place. Plain words. Every amount sized to your pond.

Questions

Frequently asked

How do I get the book?

Instant download, right after checkout. You get the Playbook and all three bonuses as PDF files. They work on any phone, tablet, or computer. You can print them.

Will it work for my pond size?

Yes. Every dose in the book is set per 1,000 gallons. The Pond-Size Tables bonus has the numbers already worked out for 500 up to 5,000 gallon ponds. It also shows the simple math to measure yours.

I have goldfish, not koi. Does it apply?

Yes. Goldfish ponds are easier, in fact. Same rules. Same doses by gallons. The book covers both.

I'm a complete beginner. Too advanced for me?

It's written so anyone can follow it. Short sentences. Plain words. A Start Here chapter tells you what to do first. Every technical word is explained the first time it shows up.

What's the refund policy?

30 days, full refund, no questions. Reply to your receipt email and it's done.

How do I pay? Is it secure?
