Phoslock 25kg
Phoslock was developed by the Australian CSIRO, Phoslock is a highly effective product that removes excess phosphates from any body of water.
Phoslock can be used to manage unhealthy waterways and promote a healthy aquatic environment. Phoslock can be applied to all types of water bodies including dams, irrigation dams, stock watering dams and lakes.
Phoslock goes right to the root cause of why many water bodies persistently experience poor water quality caused by excessive phosphorus levels.
Phoslock’s unique Phosphorus Locking Technology is the safe and effective solution to significantly reduce phosphorus levels resulting in improved water quality.
Phoslock is a unique modified bentonite clay granule that when applied in a slurry to a water body, it absorbs phosphorous from the water column and permanently locks the phosphorus into the inert modified clay particles. The clay particles then sink to the bottom and becomes part of the water bodies natural sediments layer.
Phoslock will continue to absorb phosphorous released from the sediment and new phosphorous inputs until it is saturated.
Phoslock provides an unmatched technology to reset the eutrophication clock (aging process) of waterbodies by removing free reactive phosphorus and restoring water quality.
Features and Benefits:
• Can reduce total phosphorous to aid in water body management
• Unmatched technology for phosphorus removal
• Improves water quality
• Permanently removes free reactive phosphorus at the time of application
Application Rates:
Phoslock is applied at a rate of 25kgs of Phoslock granules per 100sqm’s of water surface area.
The amount of Phoslock required may vary depending on your water quality objectives and the amount of phosphorous loadings.

Application:
For best results, mix Phoslock into an aqueous slurry and apply the slurry evenly over the water surface.
Repeat applications may be necessary based on phosphorus levels in the water body and phosphorus inputs from in-coming water.
Phoslock is not an algaecide. If an algae bloom is present, treat with Coptrol Aquatic Algaecide prior to a Phoslock application.
