Pond Water Algae Control – Improving Lagoon and Pond Water Quality

View Pond and Lagoon Products

Unlike conventional pond algae control methods, which often rely on harsh chemicals that can destroy aquatic life and harm a pond’s ecosystem, our approach is more organic. Aquafix pond water treatment products are comprised of bacteria, catalysts, and biostimulants that help degrade pond muck and sludge. Our products work on floating muck mats, slime, and dead organics while they clarify the water. Our products help to reduce your dependence on harsh chemicals. In short, our products recycle organic matter through the environment faster and improve a pond's balance. For really bad problems with algae, our product can be blended in with Cutraine, Hydrothol, or other Aquatic Herbicides to clean up the water column.

Which bacteria is right?

When we culture and blend our products, we blend them for growth rate. The key to any product is applying them into a pond and having them grow fast and steadily. When this occurs, we can get great impact in a pond system. Growth rate is everything. Part of getting that growth rate is making sure a blend of bacteria is not dominated in percentage by a particular species. The other part is knowing which micronutrients and biostimulants to blend in, and at what proportion. We spend as much time understanding this mechanism as we do growing the bacteria.

There are different strains for different substrates, temperatures, and nutrient levels. One product does not fit all in the bacterial kingdom. Send us a sample of your lagoon or pond water, and Deborah, our microbiologist, will test our products to see what works for you. She routinely receives samples from troubled ponds across the country and she helps customers diagnose what is causing a particular problem so they know exactly how to handle it.

Call us at 1-888-757-9577 with your worst pond problem. We can help you understand the mechanism.

*While bacterial products cannot kill aquatic plant growth, when used with algaecides or herbicides, they can help restore natural balance.
