The City of South Daytona, Florida manages a series of stormwater retention
ponds that ultimately drain into the Halifax River on the east coast of Florida. Like
most lakes in this region, they struggled to control excessive algae blooms and to
maintain water quality in several of the ponds. To combat these issues, they tried
implementing conventional aeration and fountains, though neither helped reduce
algae or improve the water quality.
Moleaer’s distributor, Clear Waters Lake Management, advised the city to try
nanobubble technology to target the root cause of the problem and improve the
water quality overall.
How Nanobubbles Restore Lakes and Ponds to Combat Algae
Nanobubble technology is a restorative tool that provides efficient oxygenation
and chemical-free oxidation to combat lake problems like algae, muck, nutrients,
and water quality sustainably.
Indirectly, nanobubbles create conditions that make it harder for algae
to thrive by increasing dissolved oxygen and improving the oxidation-reduction
potential (ORP or Redox), a measure of water’s oxidizing
capacity to break down contaminants.
Introducing high concentrations of nanobubbles into the water increases
the oxygen levels in the water, particularly in the deeper layers where oxygen is BEFORE
often limited. This efficient oxygenation of the entire water column can limit the
growth of algae and promote the growth of beneficial bacteria. More beneficial
bacteria help convert excess nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus into less
harmful forms, which reduces algae proliferation.
Furthermore, nanobubbles help break up and disperse existing algae
blooms by causing cell lysis or degradation of algae through natural oxidation.
This prevents the formation of dense mats of algae on the water’s surface,
which can block sunlight from reaching deeper layers of the water and create
oxygen-depleted zones.
Reduced Algae and Clearer Water in Under a Month
Clear Waters Lake Management suggested the Kingfisher nanobubble generator
from Moleaer. Only three weeks after the Kingfisher installation, the city saw
significantly reduced algae and clearer water. The results were so impressive,
the former City Manager and pond-front resident, Joe Yarbrough, stated,
This product will revolutionize the way the public sector and homeowner’s
associations address water quality in stormwater retention ponds. In less
than a monthof using the Kingfisher nanobubble equipment, the pond was free
of algae and the water was crystal clear. I have managed cities for over 45 years
and this product is absolutely amazing. AFTER
