Zoo Ponds

Biological Treatment Summary

The Situation

A major city zoo operated by the Zoological Society had extreme difficulty in maintaining clear pond water in their animal habitats. The staff of the zoo was required to drop and refill the ponds continuously through the summer months.

The Solution

A proposed initial maintenance application and follow-up treatment program that consisted of the addition of Aquaculture into the ponds to eliminate the organic growth and re-establish the water clarity.

The Results

The zoo applied Aquaculture to the pond water in July and August, during the hottest days of the summer. The staff was amazed at how quickly  Aquaculture completely cleared up the problem, and restored the water clarity in the habitat ponds. The Aquatic Curator of the zoo noted an incredible decrease in the need for pond maintenance, and the ponds no longer needed to be emptied and re-filled.
