This large reservoir had a serious blue-green algae problem producing bad taste and odor in the drinking water. Taste and odor is gone after inversion and oxygenation of the reservoir by CLEAN-FLO. Lake top half is treated with CLEAN-FLO and bottom half is not treated with CLEAN-FLO. This small lake demonstrates the effectiveness of CLEAN-FLO products and services in the remediation and management of water. In this example diffusers and inversion / oxygenation have been employed at a great savings and with total effectiveness. This river was restored from Class 3-4 where Class 4 is “unusable for any purpose” to Class 1-2 where Class 1 is “usable for any purpose.” This hog manure lagoon demonstrates the effectiveness of CLEAN-FLO’s unique aeration in treating wastewater treatment lagoons. Odor could not be detected when standing on the edge of the lagoon. This lake had two feet of organic muck at the shoreline before CLEAN-FLO treatment. This is a pond using the CLEAN-FLO pond aeration system. Inversion and oxygenation of a bay of the ocean. This bay of the ocean was highly polluted by industrial and residential waste before CLEAN-FLO treatment. Inverting and oxygenating bays of the ocean and rivers flowing into the bays can prevent red tide from destroying important fisheries. Improve water quality, remove odors, improve fish growth, and health and prevent fish kills. This a pond that does not use the CLEAN-FLO pond aeration system.

How to Reduce Geosmins, Trihalomethanes, Chloramines and Taste and Odor From Drinking Water Reservoir Water and Remove and Control Odors in Lakes, Ponds, Rivers, Reservoirs and Wastewater

To reduce the geosmin, trihalomethanes, chloramines and bad taste and odor in drinking water, the first step must be to remove blue green algae from the water reservoirs. To control hydrogen sulfide and bad odor from lakes, ponds, rivers, reservoirs and wastewater, both blue green algae (cyanobacteria) and hydrogen sulfide must be removed. This greatly reduces the cost of water treatment chemicals in drinking water treatment plants and greatly improves water quality. CLEAN-FLO also removes iron and manganese in drinking water.

Geosmin is caused by blue green algae (cyanobacteria) in drinking water reservoirs or other drinking water sources and cause bad taste and odor in the drinking water. Trihalomethanes are caused by chlorinating natural organics from drinking water sources as a result of chlorine treatment to kill disease bacteria.. Chloramines are the result of ammoniating chlorine applied to drinking water to reduce production of trihalomethanes. Both trihalomethanes and chloramines are possible causes of cancer and heart disease.

Odor removal and control . . .  The most common cause of odor in lakes, ponds, rivers and reservoirs is hydrogen sulfide, that rotten egg smell. The second most common cause of odor is blue green algae. Blue green algae also causes geosmins, the bad taste and smell in municipal drinking water reservoirs. All types of algae and suspended organics in drinking water sources result in trihalomethanes and the use of chloramines. The CLEAN-FLO Process of lake, pond, river, reservoir and wastewater restoration using the CLEAN-FLO Continuous Laminar Flow Inversion and Oxygenation System consistently removes hydrogen sulfide. Anaerobic bacteria, those bacteria that live without oxygen, produce hydrogen sulfide. When CLEAN-FLO inverts and oxygenates a body of water, the anaerobes die and no more hydrogen sulfide is produced. At the same time, the hydrogen sulfide already in the water is quickly exhausted to the atmosphere, where it is neutralized and eliminated. At the same time, blur green algae and other organics are greatly reduced.

To reduce treatment costs and rid a lake, pond, river, reservoir or wastewater of blue green algae, see Lake Cleanser Special , Eliminate Algae and  Eliminating Blue Green Algae in Reservoirs and Lakes. See Berea College Utilities  for information on iron and manganese removal in drinking water to prevent dark stains on clothing from municipal water supplies.

Geosmin, trihalomethanes, chloramines and bad taste and odor in drinking water are all caused by blue green algae (cyanobacteria) in the water reservoirs. CLEAN-FLO can greatly reduce, remove and control these problems, while ridding lakes, ponds, rivers, reservoirs and wastewater from bad odors and hydrogen sulfide.
