Management and the Board are focused on our lake's maintenance, and we are working with our new lake maintenance company, Solitude Lake Management, in order to improve the lake for our community. We hope everyone will enjoy the recent improvements to our lake such as improved weed and algae control, and an improved blue color with the addition of aquatic dye.
Aquatic dye is the professional way to bring a natural blue appearance back to your lake, pond, dam, fountain, water feature and other water bodies. It is odorless, safe and provides an attractive, beautifying effect to natural or man-made lakes, ponds, dams, fountains, water features and other water bodies.
Aquatic dye is a highly concentrated blend of colorants to color lakes, ponds, dams, fountains, water features and other water bodies, with a vibrant natural blue look, that is aesthetically pleasing.
All aquatic plants and algae need sunlight to grow. Sunlight is used by aquatic plants and algae for photosynthesis. By reducing the amount of light penetration into and through the water column, Aquatic dye effectively reduces, suppresses and retards submerged aquatic plant and algae growth by inhibiting photosynthesis. Aquatic dye is designed to screen the light rays which the aquatic plants and algae require for growth.
As aquatic dye reflects sunlight, it has the added benefit of keeping water temperatures lower than untreated water bodies. Lower average water temperatures, further suppress submerged aquatic plant and algae growth. Colder water holds more oxygen, which is beneficial for healthy fish and beneficial bacterial growth. Aquatic dye can also assists in reducing water pH fluctuations, the reduced light intensity reduces the risk of phytoplankton bloom, which in turn causes pH fluctuation and high pH in water.
Aquatic dye is formulated with dispersants which cause the dye to be distributed uniformly throughout the water body, therefore the color is deeper, the effect occurs much quicker and the longevity is enhanced. Reactants in Aquatic dye, keeps the color in suspension and prevents the dye particles from sinking to the bottom of the water body, resulting in increased depth of color and longevity.
Aquatic dye conveniently aids in reducing the loss of fish to external predators (such as birds, etc.), by shading the fish from the eyes of these predators. Aquatic Blue is certainly a more attractive solution, in comparison to using wire mesh.
SAFE: Aquatic dye is harmless to fish and wildlife, pets, humans and the environment. It is safe to add to water used for irrigation and swimming water. .
