Bio-Boost Phosphate Cleanser
Indepth Information | Dealing with the Cause | Before Treating | Retreating | Applications and Benifits

Bio-Boost Phosphate Cleanser (BBPC) removes phosphorus from the water.  It also seals phosphorus in the bottom sediment further reducing internal phosphorus loading.  A liquid material, BBPC is applied by diluting with pond water and spraying it evenly over the entire surface area.  Used as directed, it provides a safe, simple, and inexpensive method of reducing nutrients in water.  BBPC is also very effective in removing suspended solids from the water.  You will notice a marked improvement in water clarity within 24 hours after treatment.  This product will not lower pH like many other alum or aluminum products.

• IDEAL FOR RECREATIONAL LAKES AND PONDS TO REMOVE PHOSPHORUS (ALGAE’S PRIMARY FUEL) AND SUSPENDED SOLIDS FROM THE WATER THUS IMPROVING WATER CLARITY.

• THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS NO SULFATES.
• AVAILABLE IN 1 GALLON (4 X 1), 2 X 2 ½ GALLON CASES, OR 55 GALLON DRUM

Bio Boost Phosphate Cleanser In Depth Information:
Bio Boost Phosphate Cleaner (BBPC) is a highly concentrated solution of polyaluminum hydroxychloride. It is characterized by having the highest aluminum concentration (23% Al2O3) of any commercially available aluminum based solution. The basicity of ACH at 83% is also the highest available for any polyaluminum based solution. Basicity refers to the degree of acid neutralization and also represents a measure of how highly polymerized the aluminum in BBPC is.

The highly polymerized aluminum species in BBPC have much higher cationic charges than the aluminum in standard salts such as alum or aluminum chloride, and even other polyaluminum products. Therefore, BBPC can offer both a higher level of performance and lower overall dosages. The high degree of acid neutralization (basicity) also means that the effect on pH when applying BBPC will be negligible. BBPC also effectively coagulates over a broader pH range (as high as 9.5) versus traditional metal salts and lower basicity Pacl.

DEALING WITH THE CAUSE
Aquatic plants and algae require nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus to grow.  Excess amounts of these nutrients are the cause, the reasons why algae and aquatic plants become a nuisance.  BBPC removes most of the phosphorus in the water. 

BEFORE TREATING with BBPC, mats of filamentous algae, planktonic algae, duckweed, and/or other nuisance floating vegetation should be removed or treated with an approved algaecide or herbicide.  This will help release the nutrients tied up in their biomass. 

RETREATMENT: 
BBPC will remove most of the phosphorus that is in the water at the time of treatment.  However, new phosphorus may enter the water from such sources as runoff, lawn and agricultural fertilizers, septic tank leachate, farm animal and water fowl droppings, leaves, and/or dust in the air.  Therefore, some ponds and lakes may require more than one treatment per season if phosphorus again becomes elevated from outside sources.  A quart per acre foot may be adequate to maintain low total phosphorus limits when applied periodically throughout the season.
