Dip Defender – Equipment & Net Cleaning Concentrate

Clean Gear. Every Time.

Dip Defender is a concentrated cleaner made for the equipment side of koi keeping nets, bowls, sock nets, buckets, and hand tools. A single tablespoon per gallon of water gives you a working solution for soaking gear between uses, and one 16 oz bottle makes up to 250 gallons.

Built for people who move gear between a quarantine tub and a pond, handle multiple fish in a session, or bring bowls and nets home from shows and dealers. Good gear hygiene is the least glamorous part of this hobby and the easiest part to skip.

What Dip Defender Is For

• Nets and sock nets
• Show bowls and pans
• Buckets and tubs

• Any hard, non-porous gear that moves between water

• No harsh odor
• Rinses clean
• Available in 16 oz, 32 oz, 64 oz, and gallon sizes

Directions for Use

Clean First: Scrub and rinse all mucus, algae, and debris off equipment before soaking. Organic material greatly reduces effectiveness.

Heavy Soil: Add 1 fl oz (30 mL) per gallon.

Soak: Fully submerge equipment. Standard use: 10 minutes. Heavy soil: 30–60 minutes.

Rinse: Rinse all equipment thoroughly in clean water before it contacts fish.

Replace: Change the solution daily, or whenever it looks dirty or cloudy.
