Bacteria and
enzyme products provide an alternative and environmentally safe
method of efficiently degrading organic waste and nutrients.
Bacteria additives work by the consumption and reduction of high
levels of nutrients including Phosphorous and Nitrogen, which
are the common food source that help to produce algae and other
aquatic vegetation growth. Bacterial products will also help in
the reduction of organic type sediments or sludge that can
accumulate in any body of water over time. These organics could
include leaf and grass debris, dead algae and aquatic plant
materials, waste from other animals including waterfowl and
fish. Other benefits are the improvement of water clarity,
reduction of sulfate and methane gas odors and the increase in
both the aerobic and anaerobic digestion process. Bacterial
products are considered to be very safe, they are easy to apply,
bio-degradable, non-toxic and non corrosive.
Proper
watershed management around any body of water is essential in
the protection of that aquatic environment. Reduction when ever
possible of the input of unwanted organic materials will help to
limit the loading of nutrients into a pond or lake.
It should be
noted that aeration is fundamental to most biological water
treatment programs. Diffused aeration ensures a supply of oxygen
is incorporated throughout the entire water column to promote
good biological activity. A proper designed and sized diffused
aeration system will maintain higher dissolved oxygen level,
promote complete de-stratification of the water column,
elimination of anaerobic gas build-up and help to stimulate
bacteria growth, resulting in a more balanced aquatic
ecosystem.
Master Aquatics
can design and implement a Biological program to meet your lake
or ponds specific needs. We commonly suggest that a water
chemistry analysis and a complete site survey be included in any
biological program has a baseline for water quality
recommendations and future improvements. There are a variety of
different blends of bacteria and enzymes available, which can
provide excellent results often within a few weeks of the first
application. Master Aquatic will be happy to assist you
regarding this service. |
