Phosphates come into a pond or lake from leaves grass and garden clippings plants twigs fish waste other organic matter and storm runoff which carries fertilizers and other contaminants that can begin to disrupt the natural aquatic ecosystem causing poor water quality. The natural phosphate binders in the EcoBoost PRx formula work to clean up cloudy or murky water and restore your water quality. EcoBoost PRx acts as a “reset” button especially when used in the spring or any time phosphates become a problem such as following heavy rain lawn fertilizer treatment or if you experience runoff from a nearby farm or agriculture irrigation. In addition to binding excess phosphates EcoBoost PRx enhances the growth of natural microorganisms and adds a boost of trace minerals that fish need to thrive. Rapid results in as little as 12 hours! Use 1 lb (2 scoops) of EcoBoost PRx per 1/4 surface acre every two weeks. (Scoop included.) Phosphorus is the main nutrient that supports the growth of aquatic plants and it is a natural part of the aquatic ecosystem. Human activity is increasing phosphate levels at a dramatic rate. High levels of phosphates can cause rampant weed growth and poor water quality. Unless phosphates are controlled successful aquatic management is limited.
