Diatomix Concentrate for Larger Waterbodies
The 5 Litre format provides a practical treatment volume for larger aquatic systems and ongoing treatment programmes. It contains the same Diatomix Concentrate formulation as the 1 Litre product.
Unlike conventional algaecides that act directly on nuisance algae, Diatomix takes an ecosystem-based approach to algae management. The formulation provides selected micronutrients to support biological processes associated with nutrient cycling, resource utilisation and improved aquatic ecosystem function.
Where is the 5 Litre size used?
The 5 Litre format is suited to larger or more intensively managed aquatic systems, including:
- farm dams and larger ponds
- reservoirs and water storages
- irrigation and amenity waterbodies
- wastewater lagoons and treatment ponds
Treatment requirements vary according to waterbody size, water chemistry, nutrient availability and the nature of the algae or water-quality problem. Larger or complex systems may benefit from assessment of these conditions before determining an appropriate treatment programme.
Choosing the right size
Diatomix Concentrate is also available in a 1 Litre size for smaller treatment requirements. For larger waterbodies or ongoing treatment programmes, the 5 Litre format provides a more practical and economical treatment volume.
For complex water-quality problems or larger-scale applications, contact AlgaEnviro to discuss the waterbody and an appropriate treatment approach.
