You can start seeing improvements within the first week of treatment, and in some cases changes may be noticeable from the very first day.
However, as a standard commitment, we target the water body becoming visibly clean within one month of installing our products and starting the microbial culture dosing.
The actual timeline can vary depending on the size and condition of the water body, the pollutant load, and any ongoing inflow of contaminants.
The microbial culture is recommended to be dosed daily for consistent results.
Missing a day or two occasionally does not mean the treatment will stop working, but regular dosing is recommended — particularly when the water body has a continuous inflow of sewage, nutrients, or other pollutants.
Microbial culture dosing is not a one-time process. Continued dosing is required as long as pollutants and nutrients continue to enter the water body.
Think of it like maintaining the health of the water body: if sewage, agricultural runoff, religious waste, or other pollutants continue to enter the lake, the microbial treatment needs to continue working against that ongoing pollution load.
Sustainable does not mean zero maintenance. No water treatment system can realistically require zero maintenance when a water body continues to receive pollutants.
If sewage, agricultural runoff, religious waste, or other nutrient sources continue to enter the water body, ongoing treatment is necessary to manage that pollution load. Expecting a one-time intervention to keep a water body permanently clean while pollution continues to enter it is unrealistic.
Our approach is sustainable because it focuses on biological treatment and long-term management of the water body, rather than assuming that a single treatment can permanently overcome continuous pollution.
No. The microbial cultures are not genetically modified. They are designed for use in water bodies and are considered safe for local aquatic life, fish, and humans when used as directed.
As water quality improves, the aquatic environment can become more suitable for fish and other forms of aquatic life. The microbial cultures are not intended to harm the existing ecosystem.
No special spraying equipment is required.
The microbial culture is supplied in powder form. A suitable quantity of the culture is mixed with water from the same lake or water body in a drum or container. The mixture is thoroughly stirred and then allowed to activate for approximately 30 minutes.
The activated solution can then be distributed throughout the water body using simple mugs, buckets, or other basic application equipment. For larger water bodies, suitable application methods can be selected based on site conditions.
The microbial cultures are not expected to cause skin, respiratory, or infectious health problems when handled and applied as directed.
However, as with any concentrated treatment product, workers should follow the recommended handling and application instructions and use appropriate basic protective equipment where required. The product is intended for routine application by site personnel without the need for specialised technical expertise.
Yes. Our microbial cultures contain both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. This means that even when dissolved oxygen (DO) levels are very low or absent, the anaerobic microbes can continue to function and support the bioremediation process.
However, aeration is always recommended. Increasing the dissolved oxygen in the water allows the aerobic microbes to become active and work more effectively in reducing BOD, COD, and other organic pollutants. Using microbial treatment together with aeration therefore provides a more effective and comprehensive approach to water body rejuvenation.
Yes. We generally recommend using all three solutions together where site conditions justify it:
The three technologies address different aspects of water body rejuvenation and complement one another. Aeration in particular fuels the aerobic biofilms growing on the roots and bio-media of the floating wetlands.
However, the exact combination should always be determined based on the condition, pollution sources, size, depth, and requirements of the specific water body.
