Environmental Solutions

Pond & Lake Solutions

Whether you’re managing a backyard pond or a multi-acre lake, algae blooms, cloudy water, and fish health issues usually trace back to the same root cause: excess nutrients feeding the algae. For over 30 years, Environmental Solutions has used natural, probiotic bacteria — not chemicals — to restore balance to ponds, lagoons, and water gardens.

Why algae actually appears

Algae is already present in most water systems — it spreads naturally through wind, rain, runoff, and animals moving between areas. The real issue isn’t that it’s there. It’s the conditions that let it take over, mainly excess nutrients like nitrates and phosphates. Reduce the nutrient load, and algae naturally declines. That’s the principle behind every product on this page.

AquaPros vs. Super AquaPros

Super AquaPros is built for large ponds and lagoons — it requires a 24-hour brew with an Aqua Kit, reaches 8 billion CFU per ml once brewed, and treats up to 1.5 million gallons (5 acre-feet) per pound. AquaPros sells for $40, Super AquaPros for $75 (sale pricing).

What pond owners are saying

Without Super AquaPros, the ponds would over time experience rapid and uncontrolled algae growth.
Roger Raynal, 20+ year customer
The water is clear and you can see the rocks and pebbles on the bottom of the pond. We do not use any chemicals now.
