“We have tested about 40 of these type of alternative methods for controlling algae and Clarity-Pro is the only one with any significant, long-lasting effect. I have recommended it for treatment of three larger lakes of one hectare with similar success to that achieved in ponds.” Mr N, Berkshire.

 

Ecotreat is pleased to offer a comprehensive and economic service for the control of algae in lakes and ponds. Algae blooms cause a range of problems and there are several reasons why action should be taken:

Health & Safety - 45-75% of blue-green algae blooms produce toxins, which can be harmful to fish and cause skin irritation/upset stomachs.

Environmental - a dense cover of blanket weed reduces light levels so that submerged weeds die off causing deoxygenating problems.

Recreational - the appearance for visitors is un-natural & unpleasant. The algae can act as a source of turbidity giving the water a murky appearance. When the algae die, they contribute to silt accumulation which in turn can cause the release of bad smells.

For councils this can lead to many resident/park user complaints.

Toxic chemicals have been used in the past to treat nuisance algae but these are now either severely restricted or banned from use.

Ecotreat controls algae blooms by nutrient manipulation. This is achieved by adding naturally-based products to the water which reduce the amount nitrogen and phosphorus for the algae. PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE and the best time to apply is early on in the season to avoid major problems in the warm summer months.

 

 

 

Ecotreat works closely with parks and estate managers and provides professional staff, experienced in troubleshooting and overcoming problems in lakes and rivers. We undertake a comprehensive water analysis to identify the problem and only apply natural products to give long-term control.
