“ACT NOW”

FOR

RESULTS NEXT SUMMER


Your lake or pond was covered with weeds and algae last summer and you have decided to make a change. “DON’T WAIT” if you are considering a CLEAN-FLO inversion and oxygenation system.


The process of restoring a water body after years of nutrient loading takes time. Starting on the road to recovery by reversing the negative effects can take 5-6 months. A system that runs all winter will allow the natural beneficial bacteria population to stay alive and functioning. Gases such as hydrogen sulfide, methane, ammonia and carbon dioxide will be reduced to improve the entire ecosystem, while fish kills due to low dissolved oxygen, are eliminated.


Starting the process in late fall or early winter will allow time for the system to establish the oxygen based ecosystem that is necessary to begin controlling spring and summer algae while initiating the muck reduction process before many weeds have had a chance to re-establish themselves.

Since each CLEAN-FLO system is engineered and built specifically for the water body in which it is to be installed, it is important to allow sufficient time. The design and production process requires time to gather the necessary information for an appropriate design and
the production process may take a number of weeks depending on the system requirements.
As you can see an early commitment is important in ensuring that the system has sufficient time to function. See our winter special coupon in this newsletter for another reason to “ACT NOW”.

On a side note:
This past spring we got a call from a lake association that we had not heard from in years. After they installed their inversion and oxygenation system, their lake became crystal clear and weed-free for many years. Fishing was fantastic.

However they called to report a terrible algal bloom and a fish kill. A CLEAN-FLO representative went to the lake, took one look at the diffuser boils, and he knew the answer. Some diffusers had no air at all coming out and others were barely trickling up bubbles. “Your filters are dirty,” he told them. “Oh no! We wash them with detergent every time they get dirty,” they replied.

The filters were changed and the diffusers bubbled like they were brand new. Lesson: Do not blow out your filters with air, or try to clean them in any way. Throw away the old filters and replace them.

CLEAN-FLO Solves Disease Causing Fecal Bacteria Problem

Swimming Beach Opens In Scotia, NY

The Village of Scotia, NY was having trouble with elevated bacteria levels in their 55 acre lake (Lake Collins) and was forced to close the swimming beach. A CLEAN-FLO inversion and oxygenation system was installed in late April of 2006 and a significant drop in bacteria levels was observed after only a week of operation.

Due to a power failure in the area, the system was turned off a few weeks after installation and bacteria levels rose. When the system was restarted a decrease in bacteria levels was again recorded, indicating that the CLEAN-FLO system was directly affecting the bacteria levels in the lake.

Bob’s Facts
Testing dissolved oxygen levels at the surface of a water body, or taking the samples during daylight may not provide the best indication of potential low oxygen conditions. Oxygen levels are almost always higher at the surface than at the bottom of a water body, and lower during the overnight hours. To get the best indication of oxygen levels, always sample 6” off the bottom at the break of dawn.

Brian’s Tech Tip
Did you know that well and spring water contain very little to no oxygen. Therefore if your water body is spring fed, or you increase the level by adding well water, oxygen levels may be negatively affected.
