When phosphorus levels spike, water quality quickly declines, and Solomon Lake was a textbook example.

By mid-2024 the water body had become overrun with thick algae blooms and dens mats of watermeal. Testing confirmed extremely high phosphorus concentrations, fueling an unrelenting nutrient cycle.

In partnership with SOLitude Lake Management, Oase's phosphorus binding SeDox and SeDox Max products were chosen for application, with the objective to gradually remove internal phosphorus loads and prevent future blooms, without relying on short-term chemical treatments.

Phosphorus levels drop dramatically.

Sampling data collected before and after treatment revealed striking results.

Within one year, total phosphorus levels decreased by nearly 90% and reactive phosphorus (the bioavailable form that directly feeds algae) was reduced by more than 99%.

The observed phosphorus removal surpassed the expected performance based on standard product efficacy models, demonstrating the power of SeDox and SeDox Max and the value of consistent, well-timed applications.

Despite the 2025 season’s challenging weather, marked by heavy rains followed by extreme summer heat, Solomon Lake remained stable and visually clear.

SOLitude Lake Management reported no need for algaecide treatments during the season, saving both time and cost while allowing natural biological balance to return.

The consistent performance throughout variable weather conditions underscored SeDox’s ability to bind inactivate phosphorus effectively and balance the pond, even under environmental stresses.

• Over 90% reduction in total phosphorus

• More than 99% reduction in reactive phosphorus

• No traditional management methods were needed to maintain a healthy, aesthetically pleasing waterbody

• Performance exceeded expected product efficacy

• Validated “maintenance” phosphorus management approach.

SeDox and SeDox Max are advanced, professional-grade phosphorus-binding agents designed to lock away soluble phosphorus, the primary nutrient that fuels algae and aquatic weeds.

By binding phosphorus in both the water column and sediment, these products deliver long-term nutrient reduction and helped to improve water clarity without harming aquatic life.

This case demonstrates that consistent, properly dosed SeDox applications can achieve measurable, lasting water quality improvements in even the most nutrient-rich environments.
