At Simply Aquatic, we specialise in providing effective water management solutions to keep lakes and ponds healthy and free from harmful algae blooms. One of the key treatments we offer is Phoslock, a scientifically developed solution that permanently removes phosphorus from water bodies, preventing the negative effects of excess nutrients.
What is Phoslock?
Phoslock is a modified clay product that binds with free reactive phosphorus in the water, forming an insoluble mineral called lanthanum phosphate. This reaction locks phosphorus away, preventing it from being re-released into the water column. By using Phoslock, Simply Aquatic helps clients achieve long-term phosphorus control and improved water quality.
How Phoslock Works
When applied to a lake or pond, Phoslock disperses evenly, quickly reacting with dissolved phosphorus. The resulting lanthanum phosphate settles harmlessly onto the sediment, reducing the availability of phosphorus that fuels algae growth. Unlike traditional chemical treatments, Phoslock is non-toxic to aquatic life, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
Benefits of Using Phoslock from Simply Aquatic
Algae Bloom Prevention – By removing excess phosphorus, Phoslock reduces the risk of harmful algae blooms, which can deplete oxygen levels and harm fish populations.
Long-Term Effectiveness – Unlike other treatments that require frequent reapplication, Phoslock offers a lasting solution by permanently binding phosphorus depending on the inflow of Phosphates.
Safe for Aquatic Life – Phoslock does not affect fish, plants, or beneficial microorganisms, making it ideal for ponds, lakes, and reservoirs.
Improved Water Clarity – With reduced algae growth, water becomes clearer, enhancing the aesthetics and usability of water bodies.
Cost-Effective – While initial treatment costs may be higher than some alternatives, the long-term benefits of Phoslock make it a cost-effective solution over time.
When to Use Phoslock
Phoslock is most effective when used in:
Lakes and ponds with high phosphorus concentrations
Water bodies suffering from frequent algae blooms
Reservoirs and drinking water supplies requiring improved water quality
Restoration projects aimed at reducing nutrient pollution
