Available in Two Formulations

For Filamentous Algae
Use Original BioWorld Algae Treatment

For Planktonic Algae
Use Green Water Algae Treatment

BioWorld developed different microbe formulations for 2 general types of algae:

  1. Filamentous - Stringy, mat-type algae; or
  2. Planktonic - Green water-type algae.

Scientific Approach Providing Environmentally-Safe Solutions

Our research scientists are specialists in chemistry, biology, and microbiology. We can tell you about our technology and why it is superior to barley straw algae control, copper sulfate algae control, or other harsh chemicals for algae control or aeration used for algae control.

Satisfying Clients Worldwide for Over a Decade

BioWorld Algae Treatment has been safely used in irrigation and recreational water for over 10 years. You can initiate treatments at the first signs of algae formation each year, as a prevention method for the lowest overall cost. Or treat after algae has overwhelmed your water and have clear water in several weeks in most cases.

BioWorld Algae Treatment is a powerful and safe package as a 2-part unit product (liquid and dry) consisting of the following:

  1. Bioenhancement - Liquid Optimizer formulation which maximizes the ability of microbes to reproduce and thrive in a water system; and
  2. Bioaugmentation - Algae Competitor Microbes which out compete algae for available nutrients and digest organic debris in the water.

Both components are concentrated to the fullest extent possible.

Our Algae Treatment Harnesses The Power of Nature

BioWorld Algae Treatment is designed to efficiently metabolize certain forms of nitrogen and phosphorus in water - essentially robbing these major nutrients from simple plant life without affecting the desired plants and animals in the water. BioWorld suggests treating a pond, lake, or irrigation system with BioWorld Algae Treatment on a weekly basis. When the algae is under control, both the rates and frequency of treatments can be decreased.

Our Algae Treatment is the long term solution to balancing the ecosystem in your pond, lake, or water feature. BioWorld is non-hazardous, non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-flammable and non-pathogenic.

Does your pond, lake or canal look like this?

Algae Control Treatment Example

Eliminate Algae Entirely By Using BioWorld Algae Treatment

In 4 to 6 weeks, discoloration and thinning of the algae is apparent, digestion of organic matter is underway and the water clarity improves. This is caused by the weakening and rupturing algae cell walls from the lack of the key, algae-specific nutrients needed for algae to survive. The green or golden algae cells will turn brown and either float to the surface, stay suspended in the water, or sink to the bottom of the water column.

Algae Control Treatment Example

Our Special Formula Degrades Dead Algae and Other Debris
Resulting in Completely Clear Water

At this point, other components of the BioWorld technology consume or degrade the cell residues and clear the debris, including dead algae, leaves, grass, and other organic material, throughout the water. The result is beautifully clear water, free from any visible algae. Once the pond, lake or water feature is safely cleared of algae, fish populations and other wildlife will flourish and enjoy clear, balanced water.

Algae Control Treatment Example

Beautifully Clear Water Can Be Yours

Our clients, who are willing to invest the money to have a nice pond, lake, or water feature, are extremely pleased with the results of our safe and natural treatment products. Once the ecosystem comes into balance, annual product costs are usually less in subsequent years. There are residual and cumulative effects in BioWorld treated water.

Value Added Service

BioWorld staff provides a customized evaluation and designs a specific treatment plan for your situation. We monitor the progress of treatments and guide you through the various stages of algae control. This gives you what you deserve - outstanding customer follow up.

Environmentally Safe and Natural

BioWorld Algae Control products have safely been used in irrigation and recreational water for over 12 years. The unique treatment method used by BioWorld is non-hazardous, non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-flammable and non-pathogenic.

Fish and Wildlife Will Flourish

For the most part, algae forms due to excess nutrients and longer daylight hours. This can decrease oxygen levels and adversely affect fish. BioWorld breaks through this common scenario and creates a better habitat. Fish and wildlife are completely unharmed where BioWorld is used, even when large amounts are applied.

Swim or Irrigate With Confidence

Since BioWorld is a completely safe, green product, you can swim in your pond or irrigate crops from your reservoir with confidence. There are no short term or long term effects when using BioWorld.

Improve the Long-Term Health of Your Pond

BioWorld is the green alternative to harsh chemicals for planktonic or filamentous algae. Over time, the biotechnology processes become an effective deterrent to algae formation. BioWorld creates a long term solution to balance your pond ecosystem.

Improved Water Clarity

Chemical treatments kill algae leaving behind organic residue. This residue along with decaying leaves, sludge and other debris continue to provide nutrients for more algae growth. BioWorld causes the algae to starve and simultaneously digests the organic debris. The result is beautifully clear water free from unsightly algae.

Easy to Apply

Our 2-part product is very easy to apply. General application is 2 gallons Liquid Optimizer and 2 x 1/2 lb units Algae Microbes per surface acre per week. Simply add the dry microbes to warm water prior to use. Apply the Optimizer to the pond surface followed by the rehydrated microbe solution. To use an analogy, we set the table and then invite the guests.

Application Instructions

General application is 2 gallons Liquid Optimizer and 2 x 1/2 lb units Algae Microbes per surface acre per week. For severe algae, initially treat twice per week for several weeks until algae lessens - then repeat treatment weekly throughout the algae bloom season, adjusting the amount of products as algae growth dictates. BioWorld Algae Control is safe for wildlife, even when large amounts are applied.

Preparing Microbe Solution

  1. In a 5 to 6 gallon bucket, add the specified amount of BioWorld Algae Microbes to several gallons of 100° - 105° F warm water. The result is a brownish solution of microorganisms which are transitioning from their dormant state.
  2. Mix vigorously and let stand uncovered for 5-10 minutes to reactivate the microbes while stirring periodically. Use the microbe solution within 4 hours and keep unsealed.

Preparing Optimizer Solution (Blue Liquid)

  1. Pour specified amount of BioWorld Liquid Optimizer into a 5 or 6 gallon bucket (separate from the microbe bucket). Water can be added for easier dispensing so that both Microbe and Optimizer buckets contain equal amounts of liquid.

Application Procedure

  1. From the reservoir bank, pond edge or boat, broadcast or sling a small amount (approximately 8 to 32 ounces) of the Liquid Optimizer (blue liquid) directly onto the reservoir surface.
  2. In the same location where the Liquid Optimizer was introduced, broadcast or sling a small amount (approximately 8 to 32 ounces) Microbe Solution (brownish liquid). Stir the microbe solution occasionally to keep the solids suspended.
  3. Repeat until both products are completely used.

“Thanks for Such a Great Product”

We received your product Friday and dispensed it on Sunday. It is Monday evening and I just took a drive around our lake and was so impressed with what I saw. More than half of the algae is gone!!! I can't believe how fast it worked. At this rate the algae will be gone by next week. I had to let you know how happy we are that this is working so well. Thanks for such a great product.

BioWorld Algae Control Treatment Works

To: BioWorld Products
(Translation of Client Comments)

With this letter we would like to salute you and express our satisfaction for the positive results that we have accomplished in our water reservoir with the periodic application of the BioWorld Algae Control products and Inhibitors.

The most noticeable results were the following: the superficial layer of algae was eliminated, we stopped the manual cleaning procedure, the water became clearer, and the offensive odors were eliminated. The frequency in the washing and cleaning of the filters was reduced, and the contamination of the valves was eliminated. None of the products previously utilized such as: Copper Sulfate, Copper Nitrate, Sulfuric Acid, and Sodium Hydrochloride gave us good results.

Due to our semi-desert conditions, the reservoir is a necessity to irrigate our vineyards; maintaining it clean has been our priority and together, we are doing it.

Sincerely,
Ing. MC. Jorge Avalos Manzo

Long Term Use with Fantastic Results

September 21, 2006 - After one month of using a liquid form from another manufacturer we switched to your BioWorld product. The liquid form worked well, however, was not easily applied as it necessitated the use of a boat and drag hose to apply to the bottom part of the lake. We continued to use your product until late August with good success. We will be ordering more in March when the algae season starts back up.

March 20, 2007 - We were pleased with the results of the BioWorld product last year. It seemed to do the job on the algae very well.

May 19, 2008 - The BioWorld Algae product is working great, we have combined the BioWorld product usage with Sonar to control pond weeds and the combination of the two products is working fantastic, we have very little algae problems compared to almost solid algae on top when we first started with the BioWorld Algae Treatment.

“I can see Bottom of Pond Clearly”

So far, so good. I am satisfied with what I am seeing so far. It appears that we are at least a week ahead of schedule with the progress based on what you told me to be aware of. I currently am only putting the treatment directly in the main pond, not into the filters or the small holding basin above the waterfall.

The first week the floating algae decreased somewhat, but the overall clarity of the water also decreased. I could only see the fish well in the shallow (1-2 foot) water or swimming near the top. I was a little concerned but kept in mind you stated that it would take at least 3 weeks for water clarity to improve.

The second week was a big difference. The floating stuff was gone and I could see the bottom of the pond clearly in the 2-3 foot water. I could also see the fish much better everywhere in the pond.
