Algae growth in ponds, lakes, and reservoirs can quickly spiral out of control, leading to murky water, unpleasant odors, and potential harm to aquatic ecosystems.
Effective Chemical for Algae: Algaecides
Fortunately, Water Solutions Unlimited offers a powerful solution—Mainstream 635 Algaecide—designed to effectively combat and prevent algae blooms in surface water.
Why Does Algae Form in Surface Water?
Algae thrive in water bodies due to a combination of nutrient availability, warm temperatures, and stagnant water conditions. Key contributors to algae overgrowth include:
- Excess nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen from fertilizers, runoff, and waste)
- Warm temperatures, especially in late spring and summer
- Sunlight exposure, promoting photosynthesis and rapid algae proliferation
- Stagnant water, creating the perfect environment for blooms to thrive
If left untreated, algae blooms can lead to oxygen depletion, fish kills, foul odors, and even toxic cyanobacteria outbreaks.
The Best Time to Treat Surface Water for Algae Control
While algae can flourish in warmer months, the most effective times for algae treatment are fall and early spring. Here’s why:
- Fall Treatment: Preventative application of Mainstream 635 in fall halts algae growth before winter dormancy, ensuring a clearer start for the next year.
- Spring Treatment: Applying Mainstream 635 in early spring stops algae from establishing large colonies, reducing the risk of severe summer blooms.
