Clean-Flo restores lake water quality at the source. Our science-based lake restoration eliminates algae, muck, and toxic cyanobacteria by reversing oxygen depletion and nutrient recycling — not just masking the symptoms.
Since World War II, watershed development has flooded lakes with nutrients and sediment. Most lake treatment companies attack the symptoms with chemicals. We fix the root cause.
Fertilizer runoff, septic leaks, and erosion drive phosphorus and nitrogen into your lake, fueling eutrophication.
What is eutrophication 02When dissolved oxygen drops, fish die, bacteria thrive, and the lake ecosystem starts collapsing from the bottom up.
What is hypoxia 03Excess nutrients trigger algal blooms and toxic cyanobacteria that close beaches, kill fish, and threaten pets and people.
See HAB results 04Decomposing algae and weeds settle as organic muck, releasing nutrients back into the water and shrinking lake depth.
See muck reductionClean-Flo's science-based lake restoration system works in a deliberate sequence: oxygenate the water column, digest the muck, and capture incoming nutrients. Every step is measurable. No harsh chemicals. No band-aid fixes.
Rapid Acting Dissolved Oxygen Restoration
Our RADOR system delivers full water-column oxygenation from the bottom up. High, stable dissolved oxygen levels lock phosphorus into sediments, stop nutrient recycling, and reverse the eutrophication cycle at its source.

Natural Digestion of Organic Muck
Natural enzymes and aerobic bacteria break down organic muck like a compost pile on the lake bottom. Aquatic insects feed on the bacteria, rebuilding the natural food web and clearing nutrients from the water column.
Capture Nutrients Before They Pollute
Custom-formulated nutrient sponges capture phosphorus and nitrogen at lake inflows and within the water body itself. They stop new pollution at the source, before it fuels the next algal bloom or fish kill.
The US Government Accountability Office report emphasized the crucial role of oxygen depletion and hypoxia in driving eutrophication and increasing the risk of toxic cyanobacteria Harmful Algal Blooms in lakes and reservoirs. These are exactly the conditions our three-step process is designed to reverse.

Fix oxygen depletion and nutrient recycling, not just visible algae.
Real data and depth profiles you can verify, not vague promises.
No harsh chemicals. Fish, pets, and people stay protected.
From engineering to installation to ongoing monitoring.
