Measure What Matters

Root Causes – Not Symptoms

For decades, lake communities and water managers have been caught in a cycle of failurespending year after year on chemical treatments, dredging, and aeration systems that don’t stop the decline.

Oxygen levels keep dropping

Weed infestations and sediment buildup get worse.

Algae and toxic cyanobacteria harmful algal blooms (HABs) keep coming back

The problem?
These treatments address the symptoms of your suffering lake, but they don’t address why your lake continues to deteriorate.
The solution?
A science-backed, targeted solution that restores your lake’s natural ability to regulate itself.
The proof?
Measuring What Matters to see the impact and improvement on root causes. That’s what Clean-Flo delivers.

We don’t just treat water - we heal and restore it and we prove performance by measuring relevant parameters not temporary symptomatic relief.

Water Speaks, Science Listens

Traditional lake management treats what’s visible near the surface – the algae, the weeds, the murky water. But these are only symptoms of deeper problems happening beneath the surface:

Hypoxia (Oxygen Depletion) → Triggers internal nutrient recycling and HABs.

Food Web Collapse → Without the right biological balance, cyanobacteria dominate, the food web implodes and nutrient clearance is constrained.

Sediment Nutrient Recycling  → Decades of decaying organics act as a permanent nutrient source.

If you don’t fix these root causes, your lake will never recover.

That’s why Clean-Flo doesn’t fight against Nature by nuking your lake with chemicals – we get Nature working on our side.

Instead of using chemicals and mechanical treatments that disrupt the ecosystem, we restore the natural processes that renew water quality, balance nutrients, and sustain aquatic life.

ONE Biotechnology

Nature’s Engine of Renewal

🔬 The only way to achieve this is with ONE Biotechnology – cutting-edge, nature-based restoration developed by our technology partner  SIS.BIO and designed to harness and accelerate Nature’s own regenerative abilities.

Oxygenation with RADOR Systems – Breathes life back into the lake by restoring oxygen balance throughout the lake, stopping nutrient recycling at the source.

Bio-Dredging – Breaks down organic sediment and removes nutrient stockpiles without excavation and disposal.

Food Web Restoration – Re-establishes a competitive ecosystem where beneficial algae and aquatic life outcompete cyanobacteria.

It’s not just theory. It’s proven science.

If you’re paying funds raised from your community for lake management, it’s only if you Measure What Matters that you can show the community that you have spent that money wisely and delivered results and value for money.

Measuring What Matters

A successful lake management plan isn’t just about taking targeted ACTIONs – it’s about tracking progress and proving results. Performance measurement is only possible if you Measure What Matters by using science-backed metrics that demonstrate real ecological recovery.

Oxygenation
Monitoring dissolved oxygen levels throughout the water column reveals whether your lake is recovering from hypoxia and preventing nutrient release from sediments.
Bio-Dredging
Mucky slimy sediment is a silent invisible problem—until it isn’t. Measuring organic sediment reduction over time shows whether your lake is breaking down nutrient stockpiles and reclaiming lost depth naturally.
Phytoplankton Balance
Not all phytoplankton are bad, but cyanobacteria are. Tracking the shifts in their populations reveals whether your lake is supporting a balanced, resilient food web or fueling harmful algal blooms.

Results you can see – Science you can trust   

Do What Water Management Professionals Do

Water management professionals use SIS.BIO’s Reservoir Risk Index (RRI) –  a data-driven assessment tool that tracks key water quality parameters and informs reservoir risk management to reverse eutrophication, improve water quality, reduce water treatment costs and prevent HABs.

We apply the same principles to lake management: by measuring what matters, you can make informed decisions and prevent costly failures.

When you Measure What Matters, you can hold your lake management provider responsible and prove to your community that your lake management plan is working – and that your community’s investment is paying off.

We Simplify the Science with Easy to Understand,

Transparent Reporting

Lake committee members and HOAs shouldn’t be confounded and confused by long winded reports full of unnecessary scientific jargon – you shouldn’t need a PhD to understand the expensive report you paid for and what’s happening to your lake. 

We believe in full transparency – our reports are designed to inform and help lake communities take better decisions, not impress them with how smart our consultants are,  how complicated our work is, or how thick our report is. 

🔹 We Simplify the Science – no complex jargonjust clear, actionable insights. 

🔹 We Measure what Matters so you can see how every dollar is making a difference. 

🔹 We provide Easy-to-understand Reportsso you can confidently share progress with your community.
