Interview: Environmentally Friendly Pond Algae Control

Is there such a thing as environmentally-friendly algae control for your pond or water feature? In this video, BioSafe Systems’ Technical Services Manager Vijay Choppakatla responds to Brady’s interview question of why GreenClean products are a solid, environmentally-friendly alternative to copper-based products currently on the market.

Vijay gives a brief overview of the types/forms of pond products available (liquid and granular),  explains the 3 types of algae that can be present in your pond and describes how GreenClean chemistry actually works to break down algae in an environmentally-friendly manner.

A remarkable shift towards green-friendly pond algae control

In recent years, market trends in pond algae control have shown a massive decline in the use of toxic copper and formaldehyde algaecides, and a correspondingly sharp increase in the use of environmentally friendly algaecides such as GreenClean.  Why?

Upon closer examination of GreenClean Granular Algaecide, its dramatic upsurge in popularity can be attributed to at least 3 factors.

First, GreenClean`s unique chemical formula truly represents a breakthrough in algaecide technology.  GreenClean`s revolutionary scientific formula rapidly oxidizes upon contact with algae, and begins to break down algae cell walls within one minute, killing algae in a matter of hours!  In addition, its oxidation reaction is so powerful and rapid that it effectively prevents the development of resistant strains of algae.

Second, GreenClean delivers effective algae relief not only for ponds, but also for a wide variety of common algae breeding grounds including waterfalls, lakes, fish tanks, streams, lagoons, aquaculture systems, water gardens, walls, roofs, floors, patios, irrigation systems, fountains, statues, and watering troughs.

Third, unlike many other algaecides, GreenClean is great for the environment!  GreenClean biodegrades quickly and naturally into oxygen and water, stimulating healthy, thriving ecosystems through the release of life-giving oxygen into ponds and lakes, making it ideal for use in water systems that support ecologically sensitive wild-life and fish populations.

Moreover, GreenClean is EPA-certified, is OMRI-certified for application with organic products, and is one of the select few algaecides that exceeds California`s strict environmental regulations for use and sale.

Along with GreenClean`s meteoric rise in popularity, similar products such as GreenCleanPRO have risen as well.  GreenCleanPRO is a commercial-grade algaecide well-suited to particularly heavy pond algae growth, possessing all the revolutionary benefits of GreenClean, but with twice the concentrated algae-killing power!  Both of these amazing algaecides are available online via EnviroSelects, a respected industry leader in effective, green-friendly lawn and pond-care products.
