SeDox Lake Water Treatment

An abundance of nutrients is one of the biggest problems in ponds and lakes as high levels of phosphate mostly lead to excessive growth of algae. SeDox converts phosphates, the most important nutrient for algae in water, to the insoluble mineral apatite. The apatite that is formed is not harmful to fish or other living organisms. It is absorbed as a nutrient through the roots of aquatic plants. Algae are not able to use apatite for nutrition.

The algae are deprived of the nutrient phosphate. In this way excessive algal growth is prevented. SeDox is effective for up to six weeks, depending on the phosphate levels. During this time it reduces the phosphate content of the water to less than 0.035 mg/l, the critical factor for excessive algae growth.

• Phosphates are insolubly bonded
• Without phosphate algal growth is limited
