Muck Digester Pellets
Purchase

Bio Boost Muck Digester Pellets can stop and even reverse the buildup of muck on the bottom of lakes and ponds. These pellets consist of a customized blend of bacteria strains chosen specifically for their muck control capabilities within lakes and ponds. These bacteria digest animal, waterfowl and fish waste; as well as plant material; odor causing volatiles and the binders of organic contaminates which contribute to muck buildup.

When consuming the organic materials that become muck, Bio Boost Muck Digester Pellets microbes help to naturally control and reduce the volume of contaminates on a lake or pond bottom.

Bio Boost Muck Digester Pellets work on bottom muck so you don’t have to.

Bio Boost Muck Digester Pellets are fortified with specialized bacterial strains that are high volume waste consumers of muck and organic matter. These pellets have a broad trace mineral base and an organic catalyst to increase the productivity of the beneficial bacteria in each pellet. The pellet itself is specially designed to drive the active ingredients down to the muck layer. This insures that the bacterial dosage is not consumed in the water column before it reaches the muck layer.

Bio Boost Muck Digester Pellets combine natural technologies in a simple cost-effective method for continuous organic muck management.

Bio Boost Cold Water Bacteria contains a highly concentrated blend of psychrophilic (cold-loving) microorganisms. For temperatures between 39-70 degrees, this product is great for lowering BOD (biological oxygen demand) and TSS (total suspended solids). On average, customers who use our Bio Boost Cold Water Bacteria during the spring and fall report a 30-60% improvement in water quality and water clarity.

· Concentration of 8 billion CFU/gram
· Contains 4-7 different gram-positive strains

Short reproduction time (30 minutes)
Little mortality on first budding
Extremely active

·   Bacteria are DNA tested to confirm strains and verify
     quality and content
·   All strains are confirmed to be non-pathogenic
·   ABI BIO BOOST bacteria produce enzymes which allow the bacteria to digest leaf litter, dead algae cells, grass clippings, dead plant matter, goose manure, fish waste and other organic materials.

Bio Boost Cold Water Bacteria produce the following enzymes:

·   Amylase - break down starch
·   Pectinase - break down pectin found in the cell walls of plants
·   Ligninase - break down Lignans that strengthen the cell walls of plants
·   Cellulase – cellulase breaks down cell wall fibers
·   Keratinase          - break down wool, hair, feathers, etc.
·   Protease   - breaks down proteins
·   Lipase - lipase breaks down fats

Treatment Directions: Bio Boost Cold Water Bacteria performs best when water
temperatures are between 39° to 70° F.
Properly aerated water is highly recommended

1. Determine volume of lake/pond in acre-feet of water (1 acre-foot of water equals 1 surface acre or
43,560 square feet with an average depth of 1 foot, or 325,869 gallons)
2. Determine amount of ABI Bio Boost Cold Water Bacteria required using the chart below
3. Mix ABI Bio Boost Cold Water Bacteria in a pail with lake of pond water for easier dispersion.
May also be mixed with ABI Bio Boost Enzymes and applied together
4. Disperse ABI Bio Boost Cold Water Bacteria along the shoreline
5. Apply maintenance treatment amount every two weeks after initial application

Bio Boost Bacteria Summer (Warm Water) Blend
Purchase

A specific blend of high quality, naturally occurring bacteria designed to augment existing pond bacteria populations to enhance their ability to reduce nutrients and organic materials in lakes and ponds. Bio Boost Warm Water Bacteria contains a highly concentrated blend of mesophilic (warm-loving) microorganisms. For temperatures reaching 60 degrees Fahrenheit and higher, this product is great for lowering BOD (biological oxygen demand) and TSS (total suspended solids). On average customers who use our Bio Boost Warm Water Bacteria during spring and summer, report a 30-60% improvement in water quality and clarity.

Bio Boost Bacteria 7.5
Purchase

Specially selected bacterial strains in Bio Boost Bacteria 7.5 works naturally to digest pond sludge, fish waste, and dead algae. Bio Boost 7.5 is 100% natural, safe for all pond fish, plants, and wildlife. With the use of enzymes, you can stimulate and improve water's appearance naturally. Bio Boost Bacteria 7.5 contains a blend of beneficial bacteria that not only break down toxic ammonia from fish wastes into harmless nitrates (referred to as the Nitrogen Cycle) but they also consume the same nutrients as algae do. Beneficial bacteria also break down sludge build up, "muck" on the bottom of ponds and much more. Bio Boost Bacteria 7.5 works to eliminate waste materials such as slime, sludge, algae, dead plants, insects, uneaten fish food, and other organic contaminants. Bacteria work best when used in conjunction with aeration and enzymes. This product is ideal for small water features and water gardens.
