Accelerating Natures Way To A Healthy Lake

Restoration Program

Canada

Here is a brief history of our company WeedsBGone and LakeSavers Canada .We started out about 15 years ago harvesting weeds and we have developed many products along the way from screening products, cutters and boat harvesters. Over the years we have realized that these methods are quick fix and a short term solutions. Through a family friend we connected to lake savers and Clean-Flo who have been in business aerating lakes with great results all over the world for over 40 years. We have been working with them for the last 5 years in the USA aerating lakes installing continuous laminar flow inversion oxygenation systems and have been achieving great results. We have installed over 35 systems in the last 4 years in southern Ontario and show results with all our systems where people are seeing a muck reduction of 4-6 inches per season, less weeds, Cleaner water and more fish and a much more enjoyable waterfront. This is the most natural and most effective long term solution of dealing with our water quality problems. Please view the video on the link below to update your knowledge on our systems and the benefits you will get from them.

Winter WarriorProduct Description

Winter Warrior is a unique microbial consortium developed by CLEAN-FLO to increase biological efficiency during the winter months and improve water quality and organic muck reduction all winter long.Bio augmentation is a process of improving natural biological activity to breakdown organic pollutants. Bacteria are living organisms, which require optimum environmental factors to achieve best results. The important factors are carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous (food energy source) dissolved oxygen, PH and temperature.While treatment facilities can make adjustments to control most of the parameters, it is challenging to control temperature between 40-150F. Most of the microbial process have optimum temp, between 70-90F.During late fall and winter, water temperatures fall below 55F in many parts of the world. This decrease in the temperature slows down the growth process and reduces the benefits of bio augmentation by over 85%. Such reduced efficiency can lead to increased nutrients and organic muck build-up, resulting in increased algae and weed growth once the water warms in the spring. Now you can do something to get ahead of these spring concerns.To improve biological activity during these cold water periods, CLEAN-FLO has developed a unique microbial consortium that can quickly adapt to the lower water temperature and continue functioning in a broad temperature range (34 – 75F). This unique nutrient reduction technology will increase biological efficiency during the winter months and improve water quality and organic muck reduction all winter long.Benefits of using Winter Warrior

C-Flo BIOLOGICAL ORGANIC SEDIMENT REMOVALSLOW RELEASE – DISK TECHNOLOGY

DESCRIPTION: C-FLO+ TM is a slow release disk of special beneficial microbes with natural plantenzymes which feed on organic sediment (muck) at the bottom of ponds and lakes. These organismsare found in the woods feeding on dead leaves, bark, weeds and other dead matter. When you walkthrough the woods, you step on as many as 300,000,000 of these tiny organisms with every step. CFLO+TM is comprised of healthful organisms that are natural food for aquatic insects. Microbes multiplyas they feed on organic sediment, and insects grow and multiply as they feed on C-FLO+ TM. Fish thenfeed on the insects and grow rapidly, as insects are one of the best foods for fish.WHAT IT DOES: C-FLO+ TM feeds on bottom organic muck, ooze, and peat, digesting and converting itto carbon dioxide and water. As C-FLO+ TM feeds on bottom muck, your pond or lake will deepen,making a better environment for fish, and less opportunity for weeds to grow. Cattails and lilies havegradually disappeared due to muck reduction. This process replaces dredging the organic material at atiny fraction of the cost. C-FLO+ TM is harmless to fish, wildlife, pets, humans, and the environment whenused as directed.WHERE IT CAN BE USED: C-FLO+ TM will work best in ponds, lakes or any water body that iscontinuously oxygenated and rid of hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell when the bottom is stirred up). Ifoxygen runs out or hydrogen sulfide rises for even a few days, the organisms may die and your pond orlake will need a new application. Therefore, for best results C-FLO+ TM should be used with a CLEANFLOinversion and oxygenation system.APPLICATION: About two weeks after the inversion system is started, C-FLO+ TM is applied at a rate of1 pound per acre. There are eight 2 ounce disks per pound. Recommended application is 2-4 times ayear. More applications may be required if a CLEAN-FLO Inversion system is not used. C-FLO+ TM canbe applied by distributing the disks evenly around the water body during the summer months or when thewater temperature is 55 degrees F or higher.SAFETY: Persons allergic to dust should wear nose and mouth protection when handling this product.In the event of direct contact with eyes or skin, flush the affected area with water.STORAGE: Store product in original container at room temperature. Protect from moisture.

Nutrient SpongeBackgroundThe US EPA has identified nutrient pollution (phosphorus and nitrogen) as one of America’s most widespread, costly and challenging environmental problems. These nutrients support the growth of algae and aquatic plants that provide habitat and food for fish, insects and other organisms. However when nutrient levels increase too far, nuisance algae and weed growth can dominate a body of water, making it unattractive, unnavigable, odorous and a poor environment for a healthy fish population.Nutrient SpongeNutrient Sponge was created specifically to reduce nutrients and help improve water quality without the potential side effects of chemicals. A unique porous ceramic, Nutrient Sponge has the ability to hold a high quantity of active colonies of microorganisms used to treat water. It can be deployed in the body of water to reduce nutrients present, but can also be deployed in incoming springs, creeks and streams to reduce nutrients before they ever reach a body of water. The best watershed management programs cannot stop all nutrients from entering a body of water, but now Nutrient Sponge can be added to further increase nutrient reduction in incoming waters. Due to the pore size, water can easily flow through the media.Nutrient Sponge is formulated separately for nitrogen and phosphorus and the product is produced in a number of shapes. Discs, interlocking bricks and logs are used in varied applications. Examples include using bricks and / or logs in inlet water ways, discs and logs can be used suspended in the water column in the body of water. Aeration and circulation increases the effectiveness of Nutrient Sponge by providing continuous circulation of water through the media. The interlocking bricks are sold individually and are mainly used in inlet areas. The bricks can be anchored in place using the hole in the center. Best results are obtained by placing a nitrogen sponge wall first and immediately behind it, place a phosphorus sponge wall. The discs are made in either 4” or 8” diameter and are placed in polyethylene sleeves and can be suspended in any body of water. Sleeves can contain a 50/50 mix of the phosphorus and nitrogen discs, or 100% of either type. The logs are about 3” in length and are placed in polyethylene bags. These bags can be placed in inlets and suspended in a water body. Like the bricks we suggest placing a bag of nitrogen logs in an inlet first followed by a bag of phosphorus logs. All applications should take advantage of circulation, aeration and moving water as available.We suggest replacing all material after 2 years of use. In inlet and run-off applications that experience inorganic turbidity, a geotextile may be needed to prevent clogging or damage.Other applications:Nutrient sponge can also be formulated for removal of many metal ions such as selenium, arsenic, lead, copper, nickel and manganeseNutrient SpongeBackgroundThe US EPA has identified nutrient pollution (phosphorus and nitrogen) as one of America’s most widespread, costly and challenging environmental problems.

• Nualgi Lakes• Rapid Water Column Nutrient Reduction • Diatoms are one of the reasons life emerged from the swamp. Millions of years ago when the oceans subsided, land

masses emerged, and runoff started to carry granite and silica into the oceans, a microscopic life-form emerged that scientists consider to be a fundamental building block of life itself – the diatom.

• Diatoms are microscopic food power cells (phytoplankton) that convert carbon dioxide, nitrogen and phosphorus into dissolved oxygen and oxygen rich organic compounds and zooplankton which result in a healthy ecosystem and ultimately a thriving fish population. They play a dynamic role in nutrient conversion and regulation of ecosystems. How Diatoms Benefit a Water Body

• Diatoms out-compete less desirable forms of algae for nutrients in the water reducing harmful blue-green algae and filamentous algae.

• Diatoms are the primary food source at the base of the fish food chain. Grow diatoms, Grow fish! When nutrients go into the fish food chain, they are unavailable to weeds and algae.

• Diatoms increase dissolved oxygen in the water and at the sediment boundary! Produce more oxygen in their life cycle than they consume. Scientific study confirms that diatoms are the single largest primary producers of oxygen for the planet earth!

• The problem is that they are boom-and-bust in nature. When diatom population is high, nutrients are converted to fish food. When diatom population is low, nitrogen that would normally be converted to dissolved oxygen, phytoplankton, and zooplankton and released as CO2 gas in the atmosphere is instead utilized by explosive weed growth and toxic blue-green algae (cyanotoxin). Nualgi Lakes Diatom Regeneration Eliminates the Boom-Bust Cycle As part of our ongoing Biological Acceleration research and technology we’re deploying a nano-silica based micro-nutrient formulation developed for CLEAN-FL that’s proven to stimulate, regulate, and sustain continual diatom growth. One year after initial treatment in one of our highly distressed urban-environment freshwater bodies we’re seeing the development of higher order complex siliceous diatom species that are indicative of extremely high water quality environments (oligotrophic).

• Nualgi Lakes has proven capable of stimulating diatom growth in a wide variety of water bodies from urban ponds to natural lakes and everything in-between.

• Nualgi Lakes has been proven to raise dissolved oxygen at the sediment interface. This increases organic muck reduction of the “compost pile” at the bottom of the lake.

CLEAN & CLEAR Enzymes for Lake, Pond and Reservoir Algae Control

CLEAN & CLEARTM CONCENTRATED ENZYMES for lakes, ponds and reservoirs result in bioremediation of green algae, filamentous algae and blue green algae to control environmental water pollution. CLEAN & CLEARTM ENZYMES is a special blend of non-toxic vegetable enzymes from nature that acts as a catalyst to biodegrade non-living organic matter and reduces available nutrients in the water, thus improving water quality. CLEAN & CLEARTM ENZYMES softens the cell walls of dead organic matter, making it easier for beneficial bacteria such as C-FLO, C-FLO-6 and C-FLO-6F to feed, giving the bacteria a “jump start” in controlling environmental water pollution. Enzymes activate and help natural bacteria to digest organic matter in lakes, ponds, rivers, reservoirs and wastewater. CLEAN & CLEARTM reduces odor caused by toxic gases from pathogenic (disease-type) bacteria, including hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, amines and mercaptans. CLEAN & CLEARTM provides the following benefits:1. Accelerates biodegradation of organic matter2. Helps beneficial bacteria compete with weeds and algae for fertilizers such as phosphorus and nitrogen3. Helps improve water quality4. Reduces odors, including animal manure odors; improves air quality5. Safe to use; no health problems6. Safe in the environment; no pollution concerns7. Safe around animals8. Easy to apply9. Economical to use10. Helps liquefy organic wasteUSE: In lakes, ponds, rivers and reservoirs: Dilute 3-5 ounces into 4-5 gallons of water and spray or pour over water to be treated. Use one gallon per acre-foot of water. Examples: 1/2-acre x 4 feet deep = 2 acre-ft; 4 acres x 10 feet deep = 40 acre-ft.For manure or sewage lagoons, dilute one gallon to 4-5 gallons of water and add to 25,000 to 50,000 gallons of wastewater.CLEAN & CLEARTM combines enzymatic action with the natural deodorizer yucca schigrada.CLEAN & CLEARTM ENZYMES for lakes, ponds and reservoirs result in bioremediation of green algae, filamentous algae and blue green algae to control environmental water pollution.

The difference between system 1 and the budget system is with the budget system you get a ¼ hp

compressor with 3 diffusers 300 ft of self sinkable tubing instead of ¾ hp compressor with 5 diffuser 500 ft of self sinkable tubing. The budget system will cover a smaller area and may take a little longer to achieve the same

results that system 1 would achieve in the same amount of time. By running the budget system you will also save on hydro as the compressor is only a ¼ hp drawing half the

amperage as a ¾ hp which draws approximately 9 amps
