Sanctuary Waters Cyanobacteria Bloom

City of Gosnells requested that Marine Easy Clean treat this 5ha lake which was was full of Cyanobacteria Bloom. The treatment plan included 75 x 5kg TWC blocks and 25kg of organic oil digesting bacteria. In just 3 weeks the lake showed diatom and microalgae dominance with a full lake recovery achieved.

BEFORE: Cyanobacteria Bloom November 2015
AFTER: Fully Recovered Lake System November 2016

Manganese Deficiency for Biofilm Development

Geraldton TAFE’s lake always looked bad and suffered fish deaths for thirteen years before The Water Cleanser began treatment. Two years into treatment the lake still looked bad but there were no fish deaths. They said our blocks weren't working and removed them, with all the fish dying two weeks later.
Marine Easy Clean used this lake for the first field test. New blocks where added and not long after Marine Easy Clean added 24g (0.02mg/L) of manganese sulphate to help with biofilm development, the lake went clear in one week. A TAFE representative said "it is the best it's looked in 15 years as it has never been clear or looked healthy".

Save our Birds Mandurah City Council was removing dead birds (from Botulism) in their lakes every week.

After losing birds every week, Director of Sustainable Development Tony Free was attending The 2011 Innovator of the year awards where he saw The Water Cleanser, and decided to give our new technology a go to save their wildlife.
The Solution
Initially we treated only one of the lakes for comparison reasons, floating 18kg of Industrial grade Water Cleanser blocks into the 200m2 lake (well away from the edge), and waited for 6 months.
The Result
Within two weeks of treatment no dead birds were found at the treated lake. After approximately 6 months, there was a noticeable improvement in the clarity of water, no odour and a noticeable return of marine and wildlife. The Water Cleanser had also re-oxygenated the surface soil, resulting in the return of healthy trees, grasses and plants around the lake.

Golf Course Lake Toxic Cyanobacteria (Blue Green Algae) to Healthy Brown Algae

The Problem; Algae Myth and Colour
With continual inorganic fertilizer seeping into this golf course lake, we will not be able to make it clear as there will always be excess nutrients that needs to be dealt with.
Solution; Action Plan Result
Placing The Water Cleanser blocks into this lake to enhance good bacterial growth, which deals with the dominating Cyanobacteria bloom. This then allows healthy algae to take over the excess continuing nutrient input, safely.
Result
After 4 weeks of treatment there is no sign of cyanobacteria.

Full of string weed causing an ugly look and bad odour which was upsetting the residents.

The Problem
The City of Gosnells Cannar Lake design does not allow for any natural eco-system to evolve, it is basically a large swimming pool without the benefits of a filtering system or chemicals.
The Application
The lake is approximately 60m x 40m x 1m with a contributing small lake only 4m x 2m. The lake is fed by stormwater and has an aeration (fountain) system.
We placed 4 x 5kg blocks in each corner and 1 x 5kg block near the aeration fountain. Also 1 x 1kg block was placed in the small contributing lake. Total 26kg 5kg block, tied to a household brick to sink the product.
Conclusion
After 12 Weeks: The water is a greenish colour as the weeds have gone to mush at the bottom of the lake. It is important to understand that a lake needs to be murky to a certain level. Weed and algae requires sunlight to grow, murky water blocks sunlight. Part of the healing process is for the water to go green then brown then brown/blue.
After 20 Weeks: The lake looks fabulous in comparison to the ugly lake of 20 weeks earlier. The greenness has completely gone from the water and is now a brown colour, reflecting the colour of the bottom of the lake. The water is clearing and you can see the bottom.
Ongoing: The lake has almost completely remediated and with ongoing use of The Water Cleanser the lake should continue to be relatively algae free. We believe as the microbes eat more of the organic waste on the bottom of the lake the water will continue clearing.

Saving Farm Water Eliminating Cyanobacteria (Blue Green Algae) Bloom and Cleaning the Farm Dam to allow the livestock to Drink

The Solution
We floated 2 of the 1kg Industrial grade Water Cleanser blocks into the dam, and waited for the result
The Result
After approximately 8 weeks, just 2kg of the Water Cleanser had removed all signs of cyanobacteria making a dramatic difference to the quality of the water. Now the algal bloom has disappeared, the sheep have returned to drink at the dam, which can be seen in the image showing they have grazed the grass back to the water’s edge. Quality of life has also been returned inside the house to the Farmer and his family, with the simple joy of being able to have clear drinking water and to see the bottom of their toilet for the first time.
