Indipendent Test Results
1) ORGANIC SLUDGE REMOVAL – Tests in western Montana conducted by Bob Schmacher of Underwater Enterprises of Hamilton, Montana have shown that Super Aquapros™ removed 1-1/2 to 2 inches of sludge per month, during the 3-4 months of the summer growing season.
a) Protocols for testing sludge removal: 1) fabricate rebar steel stakes with welded cross pieces, located every 3 inches; 2) dive into three ponds in the fall of 2006 and drive the steel stakes into the bottom, located at strategic locations on the bottom of the ponds; 3) record the amount of sludge at each stake location in each of three separate ponds; 4) apply four, monthly pond treatments of Super Aquapros™ between early June and early September of 2007; and 5) evaluate the sludge levels in late September of 2007, using an underwater camera.
b) Results from treatments with Super Aquapros™: Examination of the stakes with the underwater camera revealed that the sludge had been digested by the sludge-eating bacteria in all portions of the ponds. Some areas no longer contained sludge residues, revealing native sand-and-gravel bottoms. Two stakes contained 6 inches of sludge, prior to the four summer treatments; and when they were viewed after the four treatments, they no longer had any sludge whatsoever.
2) BACTERIAL CELL COUNTS AFTER BREWING
a) Super Aquapros™ were brewed, according to established protocols. This action was taken in March of 2007, where the formula was heated to approximately 90°F and maintained for 24 hours, while it was gently bubbled with an aeration system.
b) Representative samples were collected, fixed and transported on ice to the Microbiology Lab at the University of Montana.
c) Laboratory tests were conducted in March of 2007 by the Microbiology Lab of the Biological Sciences Division, located in the University of Montana campus in Missoula, Montana. A picture of some of their test results are displayed below, reflecting the florescent quality of the cells after they were fixed, vibrated, filtered, stained, diluted, and counted with a Zeiss epiflorescent microscope. Average test results from 10 fields of view showed a cell count of 4.9 X 10^8, or approximately 1.9 X 10^9 per gallon, or 1.9 trillion cells per gallon.
