Algae Treatment Services
Industry-standard products are applied to ponds which have excessive algal growth. ILM works to minimize the concentration and frequency of treatment. Chelating agents are used in accordance with guidelines established by the Illinois Water Survey. All chemicals used by ILM are EPA registered and safe for aquatic use. It is desirable to limit the concentration and frequency of treatment since algal populations can develop resistance to treatment through time. A legal limit of 1ppm of copper can be added to a body of water during any given week.Most popular related searches

As such, ILM adjusts treatment schedules accordingly. ILM cannot guarantee any long-term die-off as a result of the algae treatments. The water temperature, water hardness, and flow of water are all factors that can affect the outcome of the treatments and they are factors outside the control of this company. Some resistant types of algae, including but not limited to Hydrodictyon, Pithophora, and Lyngbya, are very difficult to control and ILM cannot guarantee successful treatment.
