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 products were developed to restore your lakes biology and bring it back to a healthy balance.

Blue Power
Shades the water to lessen bottom algae growth and improve water color. Micro-Lyfe™ Blue Power can improve common lake problems with it's unique combination of dye and enzymes. Blue dye decreases sunlight penetration, reducing photosynthesis, and colors the water a pleasing shade of blue. The addition of amylase enzymes aids in the digestion of organic wastes as plant matter decomposes. You can adjust color intensity by adding more or less dye. Once diluted into the lake, dye will not stain fish, swimmers, concrete, or rocks.
DIRECTIONS
Shake well before using. Add 1 gallon Blue Power
per 4 acre feet directly to your lake.
Concentrate
Micro-Lyfe™ Concentrate is an economical solution to your basic bioaugmentation needs. Choose this ultra-concentrated culture of 4 spore-forming bacteria to reduce the buildup of sludge and odor while speeding the removal of harmful ammonia and nitrite. Every gallon of Micro-Lyfe Concentrate contains 12 trillion microorganisms!
DIRECTIONS
Shake well before using. Depending on water quality, apply 0.5-1.0 gallon per acre for the initial monthly treatment followed by 0.25-1.0 gallon per acre per month there-after.
To apply, pour slowly from container directly into the lake along the entire perimeter or dilute with non-chlorinated water to attain even coverage. If any copper based algaecides, herbicides, Hydrothol
191 or peroxide products are used to treat algae or aquatic weeds apply Micro-Lyfe Concentrate at least 72 hours before or 72 hours after those applications.
Never add Micro-Lyfe Concentrate to a spray tank that has previously held any copper compounds.
Complete
Micro-Lyfe™ 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 utilizing chemotrophic, autotrophic, and heterotrophic bacteria.
DIRECTIONS
Shake well before using. Depending on water quality,
apply 0.5-2.0 gallons for the first application, followed by monthly applications of 0.25-1.0 gallon per acre.
For new aerator installations, begin Micro-Lyfe Complete water conditioning applications 1 month prior to aeration startup to reduce carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide toxicity during destratification process.
If any copper based algaecides, herbicides, Hydrothol 191 or peroxide products are used to treat algaeor aquatic weeds apply Micro-Lyfe Complete at least 72 hours before or 72 hours after those applications.Any copper residue in a spray tank may kill the bacteria. Never add Micro-Lyfe Concentrate to a spray tank that has previously held any copper compounds.
Digester
Micro-Lyfe™ 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.
If your lake is receiving a lot of leaves, needles, or other plant material, you need Micro-Lyfe Digester, microbiology in a bag! Micro-Lyfe 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 Micro-Lyfe Concentrate or Micro-Lyfe Complete program.
DIRECTIONS
Treatment rate is one pail per surface acre per year.
For the initial treatment, use 10 packets per surface acre weekly for 3 weeks followed by 2 monthly treatments of 10 packs each.
Toss packets into water at various points along the shoreline. Packet will dissolve to release material into water.
Sludge Clear
Micro-Lyfe™ Sludge Clear is used with either the Complete or Concentrate products to accelerate the breakdown of muck and binds excessive nutrients, resulting in improved water clarity. This biological stimulant will enhance the muck and nutrient reduction properties of our other microbiology products, especially in warm-water.
Micro-Lyfe Sludge-Clear enhances muck reduction as part of your Micro-Lyfe Concentrate or Micro-Lyfe Complete program. Lakes with thick sludge layers
release toxic gasses that smell bad and threaten fish and other aquatic life.
While accelerating the breakdown of muck, Micro-Lyfe Sludge-Clear also binds excessive nutrients, resulting in improved water clarity. This biological stimulant will enhance the muck and nutrient reduction properties of our other microbiology products, especially in warm-water.
DIRECTIONS
Shake well before using. For well aerated lakes use 4 gallons per acre for the initial treatment, then add 2 gallons per acre weekly, followed by 2 gallons per acre monthly until your sludge reduction goals are met.
Double the above rates for non-aerated lakes.
To apply, pour slowly from the container directly into the lake along the entire perimeter or dilute with enough non-chlorinated water to attain even coverage. Rinse container thoroughly when done.
