You can send us a sample and we will identify the specific weed or you can directly call us to get an aquatic survey. Depending on what type of weed it is, we will be able to provide a suitable solution for you.
We follow certain precautions before application of the herbicides or algaecides such as measuring oxygen prior to treatments, running the water pH, determining temperature, and measuring the hardness of water before using any copper-based products. Furthermore, the products we use are EPA-approved and won’t cause any damage if used as directed by the product label.
While algae treatments start showing results in 3-10 days, aquatic weed herbicides like Reward, Aquathol Super K, or Nautique produce an effect within 1-2 weeks. Relatively slower agents like Sonar take 4-8 weeks to achieve results. These results will sometimes be effective for one year or longer.
As aquatic weeds are almost entirely made up of water, little residue remains after they decompose. In those rare cases which take longer, we have the provision of cutters to remove the dead weeds.
The treatments won’t directly control the mosquitoes as they are designed to be nontoxic to most things. But we do offer a supplemental program to control mosquito and midge larvae.
A fountain or aerator does not necessarily prevent weed and algae growth. However, a surface aerator improves the look and provides biological effectiveness. Our team recommends a fountain to enhance aesthetics too. Get in touch with us to learn about our installation services.
The treatments are specifically to control weed and algae growth, they don’t make the water germ-free. Superior Waterway Services offers periodical testing of water for bacteria when you opt for our water management program.
