CLEAN-FLO Successfully Reduces Muck in Indian Lake

In 2010, Lake Savers, a CLEAN-FLO authorized dealer completed the installation and bacteria/enzyme program design by CLEAN-FLO for Indian Lake in Michigan. Indian Lake is a 499 acre lake and the CLEAN-FLO program was put to the test in the 88 acre south bay. Lakeshore Environmental was retained by the Indian Lake Improvement Association to perform testing and evaluation of the program and the effects on muck reduction.

The report is extremely favorable! Key findings include:

  • Reduction of 1.3 feet of organic sediment in the treatment area versus 0.1 foot decrease in the bacteria only area and 0.1 foot increase in the control area.

  • Statistically significant shift in algal species from blue greens to green algae species.  This is an important indicator that the system can “shift” the lake toward an environment that favors “good” algae versus the harmful strains that can destroy a lake.

  • Statistically significant reductions in weed growth in the treatment area with a bias toward impacting the invasive species eurasian water milfoil more than the native species.

The full report from Lakeshore Environmental can be found here.

A summary presentation of the report can be found here.
