Water Treatment Formulations

BlueGreen’s innovative Lake Guard® formulations are designed to successfully remediate cyanobacteria and harmful algal blooms and improve water quality in lakes of any size worldwide. 

Because no two water bodies are alike, we develop customized treatment strategies for each site, leveraging our proprietary AI systems to best target the infestation.

Our plans are optimized to produce highly effective results, rehabilitating ecosystems, wildlife, and aquatic species while using the least amount of product necessary and minimizing waste.

BlueGreen Lake Guard® water remedies have been proven many times over in locations around the globe.

Measurable results within 24 hours after treatment.

 Applies to Lake Guard® Blue and Oxy formulations

Lake Guard® OXY

The unique Lake Guard® Oxy mode of action triggers oxidative stress in cyanobacterial populations, prompting cell death among the cyanobacteria. Its active ingredient, sodium percarbonate, releases hydrogen peroxide (a substance that has long been used as a safe algaecide) when it comes into contact with water. The clean Lake Guard® Oxy process breaks the granular active ingredient down into simple water and oxygen, causing no harm to the environment. Lake Guard® Oxy’s special biodegradable coating enables the product to float on the water’s surface, traveling to the affected locations where it releases its active ingredient.

Lake Guard® BLUE

The active ingredient in Lake Guard® Blue is copper sulfate, which has long been used around the world as a safe and effective algaecide. Lake Guard® Blue causes oxidative stress and severe damage to algal and cyanobacterial populations. The product interrupts their photosynthesis by binding to their enzymes.

Lake Guard® Blue’s special biodegradable coating enables the product to float on the surface of the water, traveling to the affected locations where it releases its active ingredient.

Lake Guard® DEW

The active ingredient in Lake Guard® Dew is aluminum sulfate, which has long been used as a safe and effective water treatment. Lake Guard® Dew is encapsulated in a thin, inert, biodegradable coating, allowing it to disperse throughout the water. It works as a coagulant, causing particles to clump together into clusters for easy removal. In this way, Lake Guard® Dew rapidly and dramatically improves water clarity.
