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.

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

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.
