Q. |
How long have you been in business? |
| |
A. |
We are a family business that began in 2001. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Q. |
What do you sell? |
| |
A. |
We represent several product
lines. Our base product is a microbial blend of bacteria and enzymes
for naturally treating ponds and lakes. We use unique methods to dispense
the natural bacteria into ponds and lakes. This is done in order to
clean up organic sludge and to reduce nutrients, thereby improving the
ecosystem of the body of water. We also sell aeration systems and many
complementary pond products. We are
distributors for several companies. These companies work with us to
find safe solutions for ponds and lakes. All of the products that we
sell are made in the U.S.A.
Finally, we construct new ponds and can be hired as a
consultant for your pond construction, or reconstruction, project. |

Q. |
How can I improve water quality in my pond? |
| |
A. |
There are six main ways to improve water
quality, as outlined below: |
| |
|
1. |
Design opportunities -- often, the
original design did not take into account a factor that is negatively
impacting the pond. For
example, runoff from a neighboring pasture may be adding excessive nutrients
to your pond. Our pond prescription process is
designed to capture each situation that is negatively impacting your pond
water quality. We can then provide recommendations
consistent with your budget. |
| |
|
2. |
Aeration -- adding oxygen to your water increases the habitat for natural
bacteria. Natural bacteria eat the excess nutrients in the water and thus
improve the ecosystem. |
| |
|
3. |
Add natural bacteria -- aeration usually cannot do the job on its own, so
natural bacteria can be added. Our system adds helpful bacteria, in
the billions, via a system that continuously feeds your lake or pond with
helpful bacteria. The bacteria we sell are 100% natural and safe for
humans, animals, and fish. In addition to reducing excess
nutrients, other benefits of bacteria include:
| |
● improved
water quality
● improved water clarity
● break down of organic sludge accumulated at the
pond's bottom
● reduced odors |
|
| |
|
4. |
Add rooted plants -- water plants need nutrients in order to grow.
Accordingly, adding these plants is a natural way to improve the ecosystem. |
| |
|
5. |
Add fish -- certain fish help the ecosystem by completing the food chain
within the body of water. |
| |
|
6. |
Add chemicals -- there are several chemicals on the market that make all
kinds of claims. These are all short term solutions, because they do nothing
to eliminate the source of the problem. So, while chemicals are the fastest
method for providing a nice looking pond, they do nothing for permanent
control and actually cause permanent damage. Additionally, adding chemicals to
your water cannot have a positive impact on fish or humans! We do not
recommend this "solution". In selective situations, chemicals
can be a method to gain control of a pond with severe needs. Please contact
us before
adding chemicals.
