Micro-Lyfe Biological Pond Restoration Products
A healthy lake is clear, odor free, and has a balance of wildlife and plants. A lake in distress is often lacking in the necessary bacteria and enzymes to breakdown the organic materials that enter the water, and has nutrient levels that are too high or too low. The Micro-Lyfe family of biological pond and lake products were developed to restore your lakes biology and bring it back to a healthy balance.

Blue Power
Micro-Lyfe Blue Power
Does light penetrate all the way to the bottom of your lake causing algae to bloom? Blue Power can improve common problems with a unique combination of dye and enzymes. The amylase enzymes aid in the digestion of organic wastes as plant matter decomposes. You can adjust color intensity by adding more or less dye. Once diluted, dye will not stain fish, swimmers, concrete, or rocks.
Blue Power:
- Safely colors water an appealing shade of blue
- Blocks out photosynthetic light wavelengths
- Amylase enzymes help in the digestion of organic wastes
- Mixes throughout the waterbody in a few hours
- Diluted product will not stain birds, fish, or most concrete or pond rocks
- Safe for humans, animals, plants and aquatic life with no restrictions

Complete
Micro-Lyfe Complete
Does your lake have high nitrogen, including nitrates and low oxygen in the bottom waters? Complete is our advanced bacterial product with photosynthetic purple sulfur bacteria. Complete works in aerobic, anaerobic, or anoxic conditions to digest the most difficult compounds. It is one of the few bacterial products capable of converting nitrates to nitrogen gas.
Complete:
- Unique phototrophic bacteria that gain energy from sunlight
- Autotrophic bacteria reduces dissolved carbon dioxide and controls pH
- Heterotrophic bacteria metabolizes suspended organic matter and sludge
- Purple sulfur cultures reduce nitrate levels by de-nitrification
- Chemotrophic bacteria oxidizes difficult chemical compounds
- Live vegetative cultures with anaerobic, aerobic and facultative species

Digester
Micro-Lyfe Digester
Is your lake is receiving a lot of leaves, needles, or other plant material? Digester contains spore-based bacteria and enzymes in water soluble packets for mess-free ease of use. This consortium is specially formulated to biodegrade hard-to-digest plant material like leaves. If you have trees surrounding your lake, you should be tossing in packets of Micro-Lyfe Digester as part of your water management program.
Digester:
- Metabolizes and reduces bottom organic detritus
- For sediments with high levels of leafy and woody plant material
- Contains cellulase enzymes for digesting difficult lignins
- 1,362 billion sludge degrading bacteria per pound
- Water soluble packets for year round, no-mess application
- For tree-lined ponds, Digester works best when used with Micro-Lyfe Complete, Concentrate, or Sludge Clear

Benefits of using Aeration with Micro-Lyfe Biological Pond and Lake Products
Bioaugmentation and aeration were made for each other. Aeration and water circulation enhance the natural bacterial metabolism of muck and other organic materials in a lake. By supplementing with additional types of bacteria and accelerating enzymes, you speed the nutrient, muck, and odor reduction benefits of aeration. Since many of these beneficial bacteria require oxygen to perform at an optimal level, aeration will allow you to use less product to achieve the same strength of effectiveness thereby reducing your treatment cost.
