Phoslock™

Target the root cause of algal blooms

phoslock-20kg-s

Targets excess phosphates for better water quality

Phoslock™ developed by the Australian CSIRO, is a lanthanum modified bentonite material that permanently binds phosphate where it becomes a part of the natural sediments.
  • Permanently binds excess phosphate
  • No need to remove after application
  • Significantly improves water quality
  • Developed by the Australian CSIRO
  • Non-toxic and environmentally friendly
  • Greatly reduces the likelihood of toxic algal blooms

How It Works

Prevents Algal Blooms

Many types of harmful algae feed on Phosphate. Phoslock permanently binds phosphates to limit algal reproduction. If left untreated, high levels of phosphorus in your water can cause devastating algal blooms that may damage the environment and cause serious health hazards to humans and animals alike.

Reset the Ageing Clock

Phoslock™ offers unrivalled technology in resetting the eutrophication clock (the ageing process) of your body of water, by removing excess Phosphates. Phoslock™ effectively binds phosphates that then become part of the natural sediment of the bottom – so there’s no need to remove them after application.

Long-Lasting

Phoslock™ will continue to absorb phosphates released from the sediment and new phosphorus inputs until it is saturated, giving you long-lasting effects and a healthier water body.

Recurrent algae issues?

If you experience frequent algal blooms it may be a sign you have high nutrient loadings which directly impact the growth of algae. Phoslock™ offers unrivalled technology in permanently binding excess phosphates that can drive harmful algal blooms. Keep your pond in harmony with Phoslock™.

Why are Excess Phosphates an Issue?

In excess, phosphates can contribute to prolific growth of both algal and aquatic plant species. Large amounts of either species can contribute to the degradation of water quality through changes both physical and chemical such as: changes to pH, reduction in dissolved oxygen, covering of surface waters resulting in limited light availability, and toxins released from harmful algal blooms posing serious health risks to humans and animals.
