Northwest Aquatic Eco-Systems

Many of our clients want an "all-natural" alternative to treating water, and this is a great option. Over the past five years Northwest Aquatic Eco-Systems has been managing small ponds and canal waterways through the addition of biological microbes to the systems. In most cases poor pond water is the result of an overload of organic matter which serves as a food supply for algae, cyanobacteria, anaerobic bacteria and various weeds. Problematic conditions that often exist during the warm summer months can often be controlled and eliminated through bioaugmentation. Bioaugmentation is the process of adding natural bacteria and enzymes back into a troubled system where the natural occurring microbes no longer exist, have been destroyed or are in such low numbers they fail to maintain the system at an acceptable recreational level. It is amazing to see the difference when comparing ponds before and after microbe seeding.

Historically, the most common approach to treating water was through the use of registered herbicides and algaecides. However, in today’s world, being eco-friendly is vitally important. That is why at Northwest Aquatic Eco-Systems, we believe that by utilizing all-natural ingredients our clients have the ability to select the treatment scenario most appropriate to their life style and philosophy.

Every body of water is different, therefore the response to our designed management programs will vary on a site by site basis; but through consistent application and patience, water conditions improve. This approach ensures that constant levels of beneficial bacteria are maintained within the system necessary to deliver the desired results naturally and effectively.
