Lakes & Raw Water Reservoirs

Cyanobacteria & Cyanotoxin Mitigation For Lakes, Reservoirs and Ponds

The key component for effective cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) control is to circulate just the upper "top water" of the lake also known as the active epilimnetic circulation.

Ixom Watercare has two active lake circulation technologies to help fight against cyanobacteria and improve lake health & quality.

  • SolarBee® Lake Circulators
    (up to 35 acres per circulator)
  • AerationPlus© Lake & Pond Circulators
    (nearshore up to 8 acres per circulator).
