The most important step in controlling blue green algae control in backyard fish ponds, lakes and reservoirs, is to fully oxygenate the bottom through CLEAN-FLO’s unique pond, lake and reservoir aeration. A CLEAN-FLO pond, reservoir or lake aerator can bind up to three times as much phosphorus and nitrogen to the bottom muck as watershed management can accomplish. This results in up to 97 percent or more phosphorus and nitrogen removal. The phosphorus and nitrogen then become food for insects and fish, resulting in improved lake fishing and pond fishing. Because the phosphorus and nitrogen go into food for fish, the aeration system produces reservoir, lake and pond restoration and algae control..

Once you attain full oxygenation of the bottom of your lake, pond or reservoir with an aeration system, the following natural water treatment chemicals and lake management products will give you optimum blue green algae control and duckweed control and help remove planktonic algae control.

C-FLO-6 C-FLO-6 for algae control by feeding on non-living organic matter and is particularly effective in reducing nutrients that are food for PLANKTONIC (suspended).

C-FLO-6F C-FLO-6F for algae control and duckweed control by feeding on non-living organic matter and is particularly effective in reducing nutrients that are food for FILAMENTOUS algae (looks like green hair or moss and usually grows on weeds or rocks).

Lake Cleanser Special was developed by CLEAN-FLO for algae and duckweed control and algae control and for controlling blue green algae and has been found to be particularly effective in limiting phosphorus that is food for BLUE-GREEN algae (foul smelling green scum on the surface of lakes and ponds), FILAMENTOUS algae (looks like green hair or moss and usually grows on weeds or rocks), DUCKWEED (looks like tiny three-leaf clover on the surface), and WATERMEAL (looks like green corn meal on the surface of lakes and ponds).

Lake Care was developed for algae control with the purpose of neutralizing the electrostatic charges in water and has been found particularly effective in neutralizing those charges that are utilized by submerged weeds and green PLANKTONIC algae (that green cast to the water).

Clean & Clear^TM CONCENTRATED ENZYMES is a special blend of non-toxic enzymes from nature that acts as a catalyst to biodegrade non-living organic matter and reduces available nutrients in the water, thus improving water quality for algae and duckweed control.

Lake Cleanser III was developed to remove or lock up phosphates and suspended particles from all types of water bodies for algae control and duckweed control and for controlling blue green algae.
Iron Filings Bind phosphorus in lakes / ponds with a short retention time for duckweed and algae control.

Minnow Traps Enable zooplankton to feed on algae to remove and algae control.

CASE STUDY: Cyanophyceae in reservoirs and lakes.
