Lakes, ponds and lagoons naturally accumulate organic sediment over time. Runoff containing fertilizers, grass clippings, leaves, animal waste and decaying algae settles into bottom muck year after year. In many water bodies, dead algae alone is the largest annual contributor to sludge buildup. As organic matter accumulates, excess nutrients fuel algae blooms and push water toward eutrophication — murky water, oxygen depletion and declining water quality.
FritzZyme® Lake Maintain is a commercial-strength biological clarifier and digester formulated to reverse that process. Its proprietary blend of bacterial strains rapidly breaks down organic waste, digests bottom muck and metabolizes excess nutrients — including phosphorus, which directly fuels algae growth. Reducing available phosphorus produces a measurable decline in algal populations and returns the water column to a naturally clear, healthy state.
Bacterial cultures are stabilized and shipped in spore form for extended shelf life. Fritz’s multi-stage quality assurance ensures consistent purity and microbial concentration in every batch.
