Bio-Augmentation through Enzyme Supplementationn
Using enzymes in conjunction with aeration puts nature to work for you to improve the water quality of your pond by promoting the fortification of naturally occurring bacteria already present. As aeration keeps phosphorus bound and gives optimal oxygenated conditions at the sediment-water interface, enzymes supply those aerobic bacteria with the tools they need to digest even more of the nutrients on the bottom and in the water column. This reduction of nutrients balances the condition of the water and reduces the need to use chemicals to control the aquatic plants.
These enzymes are produced in a "food grade" production facility that has never failed an FDA inspection. All components have been rigorously tested for human safety, biodegradability and aquatic safety. Enzymes leave no residue behind and continually improves the condition of the pond where chemicals inherently leave residues and do NOT contribute to the improvement of that body of water.
Case Study
The pond pictured below started as the typical Midwestern pond when the homeowner acquired the property. It was filled with aquatic plant growth and muck. Aquatic herbicides and algecides were used by the homeowner but with little success. An aerator was present in the pond and an enzyme regiment was started to compliment that system. At that time the water quality progressively improved. As the water improved, less and less enzyme was required to maintain the pond. These photos were taken in July when ponds are at the height of their growing season in the Midwest and many are FILLED with plant growth such as algae and duckweed. It took only 3 short growing seasons of enzyme applications to achieve this success and now this pond is maintained with only 1/16 the amount of the original enzyme used to improve the water to this level.

Aerators were briefly turned off to take the photos.
