Hundreds of miles of Florida coastline choked by blue-green toxic ooze, shutting down businesses and beaches, killing tourism and endangering people and animals. The Florida algal bloom crept through waterways for months, just one of the many blooms appearing around the globe. In many algae cases, state and local officials wait for the bloom to disappear on its own. But there’s a better solution: a copper-based algaecide that will make the algae disappear without harming the environment.
What’s That Disgusting Ooze?
Algae is naturally part of many freshwater systems. However, added nutrients in the water, combined with warm temperatures and calm and sunny conditions, can create dangerous algal blooms. In some cases, the added nutrients that cause an algal growth come from runoff from wastewater treatment plants and lawns and agricultural areas.
These blooms can be toxic to humans, animals and even fish. In humans, the bacteria in the bloom causes headache, fever, diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting.
According to Dr. Joseph Miner, executive director of the Utah Department of Health, “These types of algae release neurotoxins and hepatotoxins, that can affect brain, nervous system, and liver function.”
Algae and the nutrients that feed it are a natural part of the ecosystem. However, large algal blooms may be caused by runoff combined with the right weather conditions, and can be dangerous.
Get the Muck Out with a High Quality Algaecide
With a treatment of a copper-based algaecide, an algal bloom will disappear.
Our custom-blended product is 99.99 percent biologically active, so it won’t pollute the environment. It’s a highly soluble, low pH algaecide/bactericide designed for use in lakes, ponds, reservoirs, sedimentation basins, irrigation canals, treatment lagoons and other water systems. The custom blend attacks and kills the algae and bacteria, and it won’t harm humans, animals or fish. So it’s perfect for Florida’s estuaries and other waterways being attacked by algae, or water plants with a bacteria problem. It’s also rated safe for drinking water.
Innova has the most successful algae and bacteria combatant treatment in the world. It’s so effective that you see the difference overnight.
The Proof is Clear
Officials in Herriman, Utah, decided to do something more than wait when state health officials closed a popular reservoir in 2015 because of an algal bloom.
So Herriman City contacted Innova. First of all, our team of experts assessed the issue. They then formulated a custom solution for the situation and treated the reservoir. As a result, the water soon returned to normal, and the state re-opened the recreation spot. Now the city continues to use our algaecide to prevent another algae bloom.
There’s no reason to wait—and let the local economy suffer—when there’s an algal bloom.
The solution for an algal bloom—whether it’s along the coastline in Florida or at a lake in Utah—is Innova. We will rid the water of the toxic sludge, and our products won’t harm anyone or anything.
