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. Any remaining thread algae is trapped in the filter – if a filter is in use.
The slime mould living in symbiosis with the thread algae is also killed by the patented formula. Methods such as mechanical removal of thread algae is counterproductive unless the slime mould is combated.
Algolon decomposes and leaves no residue. It contains no heavy metals or organic biocides and does not accumulate in organisms. It is a good idea to administer SeDox or SeDox Speed after using Algolon. This will bond the freed phosphate which is the main cause of algal growth.
