ClearLake Pond Treatments, a Division of Keeton Industries, is known around the world as a high-quality manufacturer of beneficial bacteria, pond treatments, solar aeration, and electric aeration for managed aquatic environments. What began in the family garage over 50 years ago, ClearLake has since grown into a globally recognized leader in water quality management products for lakes, large ponds, golf courses, farm ponds and retention ponds.
Today, most aquatic ecosystems are bombarded with excess nutrients from multiple sources, including urban and rural runoff, fertilizers, waterfowl and typical leaf fall from deciduous trees nearby. Unfortunately, the naturally occurring bacteria found in ponds and lakes often cannot keep up with this influx of nutrients. This leads to a shift in the natural balance in ponds and lakes and encourages the build-up of bottom muck, odor, cloudy water and poor water quality. Luckily, the solutions to these problems can be found in ClearLake Pond Treatments.
At ClearLake Pond Treatments, we know that lake and pond environments are highly dynamic ecosystems that rely on natural processes to maintain natural order. And while under normal environmental conditions, proper water quality is achieved through the activity of naturally occurring microorganisms and beneficial bacteria, our industrialized world poses more challenges to water quality management.
Our lab is managed by Senior Research Scientist, Susan Knudson, MPH, PH.D.. Susan has decades of bacteria and enzyme research—as well as development experience—and is charged with bringing innovative products to market.
Each year in spring, summer and especially fall, organic matter from grass clippings, pollen, leaves and twigs, fall to the pond and sink to bottom. In addition, many ponds receive nutrients from other sources such as runoff, fertilizers, fish and waterfowl. Unfortunately, the naturally occurring bacteria cannot keep up with this influx of nutrients. This leads to a shift in the natural balance in ponds and lakes and encourages the build-up of bottom muck, odour, and poor water quality.
ClearLake is intentional about taking a natural approach that integrates well with the way nature is intended to operate. All of the microbial species that we manufacture occur naturally in most ponds and lakes. We are simply introducing a larger quantity of those species to help the naturally occurring strains keep up with the increased workload.
You can rest assured, knowing that the bi-monthly or monthly application of ClearLake™ Muck Eliminator, ClearLake™ Pond & Lake Clarifier and ClearLake™ Cold Water Clarifier will keep ponds and lakes clean, clear, and muck free naturally, without the worry of residual harsh chemicals.
ClearLake™ Muck Eliminator Tablets remove muck and odour in areas throughout the pond such as beaches, shorelines and docks by utilizing highly concentrated and specialized bacteria strains to do the work. ClearLake™ Muck Eliminator Tabs quickly fall through the water column and sink into bottom muck where they begin to grow and spread, slowly digesting organic material as their colonies exponentially multiply.
ClearLake™ Pond & Lake Clarifier starts working instantly to clean and clear your pond or lake naturally, by utilizing billions of unique strains of beneficial bacteria to breakdown the suspended organic material that causes cloudy, murky water in ponds.
The use of ClearLake™ Pond & Lake Clarifier beneficial pond bacteria has proven to be one of the best tools that a pond owner can use to maintain water quality and clarity.
In the spring and fall, when the water temperatures are too low for other pond treatments to work, ClearLake™ Cold Water Clarifier is formulated to go to work immediately digesting suspended organic debris, clarify the water because it is formulated with cold water bacteria that thrive in water temperatures below 50°F/10°C.
In the fall, ClearLake™ Cold Water Clarifier work hard throughout the winter months to remove leaves and twigs as well as other organic matter.
