Alum Application

A Proven Solution for Phosphorus Control
When your pond or lake has recurring algae blooms, the problem often starts with high phosphorus levels in the water. Our Alum (aluminum sulfate) applications bind with phosphorus and lock it out of the water column, reducing algae fuel and restoring water clarity.
- Ideal for stormwater ponds, HOA lakes, and nutrient-loaded systems
- Reduces internal phosphorus recycling and algae growth
- Applied safely by licensed aquatic professionals
- Can be paired with monthly treatment plans for long-term clarity
This is one of the most effective tools in the fight against algae.
Precision Application for Reliable Results
Alum isn’t one-size-fits-all. We start with water testing and dose calculations to ensure the right amount is applied for safe, effective phosphorus inactivation without harming fish or aquatic life.
- Professional dosing based on water depth and phosphorus concentration
- Prevents future blooms without aggressive chemical use
- Works great as part of a broader monthly algae control program
- Full post-treatment reporting included

A Clear Difference
You Can See
Alum reduces nutrients, which means clearer water. See how this powerful treatment has improved water quality in ponds just like yours.



The Key to Long-Term
Pond Water Clarity
While alum dramatically cuts nutrient levels, maintaining healthy water means staying ahead of runoff, weeds, and oxygen imbalance. Our monthly plans combine alum treatment with regular monitoring and biological support for optimal water health.
- Monitor nutrient levels post-treatment
- Pair with aeration, bacteria dosing, or vegetation control
- Add alum to your monthly service plan for full nutrient control
Ask us if your pond is a good candidate for phosphorus locking.
FAQs
How does alum application work in lake and pond management?
Alum binds with phosphorus in the water, reducing algae growth and improving clarity. It’s a key part of effective water testing and nutrient management in lakes and ponds.
Can alum treatments help with aquatic weed removal?
Yes. By lowering nutrient levels, alum limits algae and weed growth, supporting long-term aquatic weed removal strategies without harming the ecosystem.
Is alum safe to use with fountains and aeration systems?
Absolutely. In fact, combining alum with fountains and aeration enhances oxygen levels and water circulation, promoting a clearer and healthier pond environment.
How does alum application support muck removal?
By reducing nutrient buildup and algae, alum slows organic decay, helping with muck removal over time and improving water quality at the bottom of the pond.
Does alum treatment contribute to erosion control?
Yes, indirectly. By stabilizing water quality and reducing vegetation overgrowth, alum helps maintain shoreline integrity, aiding in erosion control efforts.
