Dugout & Pond Algae Control and Aeration Solutions

Targeted Water Treatment for Reliable Results

Managing algae and improving water quality in dugouts and ponds is essential for agricultural, municipal, and rural applications. At Puroxi Alberta, we offer tailored, proven solutions using advanced technology to control algae, reduce contaminants, and restore water clarity and function.

01Aeration

The process of adding oxygen to water to improve quality and support healthy ecosystems.
02Ulrasonic Algae Control

Ultrasonic algae control is a non-chemical method for managing algae and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) in water bodies such as ponds, lakes, reservoirs, and industrial water systems. It works by emitting specific ultrasonic sound frequencies that interfere with the buoyancy and photosynthesis of algae, ultimately reducing their ability to thrive.

03Algae Control using Nanobubbles with Ozone
Aeration helps control algae by disrupting their growth conditions and reducing nutrient buildup that feeds blooms.

What is Puroxi water treatment?

As you may know, our company prides itself in using a base of premium quality hydrogen peroxide for our product … H2O (water) + O (oxygen) = H2O2. We take a water analysis that is evaluated by a Certified Water Technician. After evaluation, we adjust the chemistry of your water to make it more effective.

Green algae and diatoms decompose slowly, floating after about 3 weeks and sinking 7–10 days later. Bioaugmentation or products like Muck Pellets can accelerate this process in non-potable water, promoting healthier conditions for animals.

Ultrasound technology helps control algae and biofilm by disrupting anaerobic bacteria, keeping equipment cleaner. It covers large areas, uses over 1,000 frequencies per cycle, and consumes little energy—making it an efficient and cost-effective solution for water quality management.

Treatment Options We Provide

1. Ozone with Nanobubbles — Most Effective for Clarification

This is our most powerful treatment for transforming poor-quality water. Ozone oxidizes contaminants while nanobubbles increase contact time and allows the ozone to spread throughout the whole dugout.

What it does:

  • Rapidly breaks down organics, iron, manganese, and sulfides
  • Kills algae and bacteria with contact
  • Improves clarity and smell
  • Raises oxygen levels

Important note:
Ozone is highly oxidative and not suitable for ponds containing fish or sensitive aquatic organisms. It is ideal for dugouts used for livestock, irrigation, or for a raw water source before filtration.

2. High-Efficiency Aeration Systems

Conventional aeration is the best option for long-term oxygenation and biological stability, especially when fish or other aquatic life are present.

Benefits:

  • Increases dissolved oxygen at all depths
  • Supports beneficial aerobic bacteria that consume nutrients
  • Slows algae growth by disrupting stratification
  • Reduces odours and organic sludge

We supply complete systems with reliable compressors, weighted airlines, and fine-bubble diffusers designed for dugouts and ponds in Alberta’s climate.

3. Quattro Ultrasound Equipment

Ultrasound targets algae directly by rupturing their internal gas vesicles, preventing buoyancy and photosynthesis.

Features:

  • Reduces or even prevents green algae and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae)
  • Chemical-free and safe for fish and plants
  • Low maintenance, continuous operation
  • No effect on oxygen levels or water chemistry

Best suited for ponds with persistent surface algae where chemical-free prevention is preferred.

Nutrient Build-Up

Without oxygen, debris and nutrients accumulate as “muck” on the pond bottom, leading to algae blooms, weed overgrowth, and fish deaths. Airmax® aeration systems solve this by circulating oxygen-rich water using bottom diffusers. This restores balance, activates natural cleaners like bacteria and phytoplankton, and reduces muck—often with visible results in just 90 days.

Algae Control

Are you spending hard earned dollars every year on product to control algae in your dugout?

We offer a line of ultrasound equipment to control and kill algae. It’s a onetime investment in equipment. This equipment is for algae control in lakes (up to 120 acres/device), dugouts, pools, ponds, irrigation basins, clarifiers and sedimentation basins, UV chambers, distribution water tanks, Fresh and Marine Aquaculture.

  • They can be powered by Solar: Land or SolaRaft -Pontoon based systems.
  • Power supply systems (85-240 Volts, 50 or 60 Hz compatible DC – 24 Volts)
  • Each power supply supports two ultrasonic units for dual operation.

The beauty of these units is you can either buy a really inexpensive unit called (Mezzo). The Mezzo units are cheaper but only work in a bi-directional fashion. They are good for usage in drainage or storage pipes or in areas that directional applications might work. Or you can buy the 360° version (Quattro). With 120 Acre coverage these are very good options, since return on investment (ROI) is huge.

There are two unit types: Mezzo (affordable, bi-directional, ideal for limited areas) and Quattro (360° coverage, up to 120 acres, high ROI).

Free Water Analysis & Technical Recommendations

We provide free water analysis based on your submitted lab reports. Our certified water technician assesses:

  • Nutrient loads (phosphorus, nitrates)
  • Metals (iron, manganese, sodium, sulfates)
  • pH, hardness, and alkalinity
  • Usage type (livestock, irrigation, humans, aesthetics, wildlife)

We then recommend the most effective, targeted treatment strategy—whether that’s aeration alone, ozone pretreatment, or a combination of technologies.
