Lakes and large ponds can suffer from a number of issues and without adequate management, these problems can get out of control to the extent that inhabitants and surrounding wildlife can become affected. OASE Germany have developed a professional range of targeted water treatments to tackle specific lake water quality problems. The OASE Lake Therapy treatments can help to stabilise water parameters, combat algae and bind excess nutrients which would otherwise lead to repeated algal bloom.
Lake Therapy Treatments at a glance:
OptiLake - pH & Water Stabiliser.
OASE OptiLake will help to stabilise water parameters to achieve ecological equilibrium with the lake, benefiting fish, plants and pond inhabitants. OptiLake will also help buffer and stabilise pH.
AlgoLon - String Algae Eliminator.
OASE AlgoLon quickly releases active oxygen in the water. Oxidation begins immediately, destroying the cell structure of the thread algae (also known as Blanketweed / Filamentous Algae). The floating dead algae can be skimmed out of the water a few hours after the product is used.
AlgoShield - Lake Algae Eliminator.
AlgoShield combats the vigorous growth and disproportionate reproduction of green algae in ponds and lakes. AlgoShield is also very efficient both in the prevention and elimination of blue algae. Vigorous reproduction of algae is a symptom of a biological imbalance.
ClearLake - Water Clarifier.
OASE ClearLake utilises specially bred micro-organisms which decompose and mineralise pollutants and will biologically break down organic matter and toxins.
SeDox Max - Lake Phosphate Binder.
OASE Sedox Max is designed to bind high levels of phosphate in lake waters, which is the most common cause of excess algae growth. SeDox Max converts phosphates into the harmless mineral apatite, which is harmless to fish and lake inhabitants.
SeDox Speed - Rapid Phosphate Binder.
OASE Sedox Speed can be used in urgent or emergency situations where very high levels of phosphates are detected. SeDox Speed will rapidly convert phosphate to harmless minerals within hours of application.
SchlixX - Lake Sludge Digester.
OASE SchlixX is a formulation specifically developed to reduce organic sludge on the lake floor by releasing oxygen and binding phosphates. This action increases the water capacity within the lake and greatly reduces the likelihood of green or blue-green algal bloom. SchlixX will not break down inorganic material such as sand.
SchlixX Plus - Rapid Sludge Digester.
SchlixX Plus releases oxygen and specially bred natural micro-organisms in the sludge which leads to the following effects: The oxygen released loosens up the sludge and then causes the phosphate to be insolubly bonded into apatite. Additionally the specially bred micro-organisms released into the sludge use the oxygen to devour the organic matter in the sludge.
PeriDox - Fish Parasite Treatment
PeriDox prevents gill necrosis and mucous congestion of the skin and gills. PeriDox is very easy to handle and does not endanger the fish stock. As soon as PeriDox comes into contact with the parasites or the larvae it triggers an oxidation process destroying the cell structure of the parasites.
Tips.
Before adding any water treatment, we strongly advise testing the water parameters using a Test Kit to first determine the conditions.
If there is little or no water movement within the lake, we highly recommend the use of a Lake Aerator or a surface-mounted Floating Aerator Fountain to assist in circulating and oxygenating the whole water body. Aeration is highly effective and may eliminate the need for supplemental water treatments.
If you would like advice on lake water treatments, water testing or aeration methods, please give one of our Water Garden team of experts a call on 02392 373735.
