Case Studies

Big Stone Lake, a long, narrow, 12,000+ acre waterbody that traverses the South Dakota and Minnesota state line, is a popular local destination for fishing and recreation. Within this unique waterbody lies the 5.92-acre Tranquility Bay, maintained by the Tranquility Bay Property Association, an outlet that offers lakefront property to homeowners.

Vance Walgrave from Those Blasted Things owns and manages a private 30-acre-feet lake that used to be used for rock quarrying. Over the past 5 years, the lake had poor water quality, with little to no clarity, a thick layer of muck and regular algae blooms both on the surface and throughout the water column due to manure that ran into the lake.

Tadd Lake, a 10-acre freshwater lake in Atwater, MN, once thrived as a popular spot for recreational fishing. However, excess algae and aquatic weeds covering the surface have made it hard to get a hook into the lake depths. As a terminal lake, or a lake that has no natural outlet, Tadd Lake tends to accumulate nutrients and runoff, which can worsen algae growth and reduce water quality.

Tri-Lakes Management District, managing three man-made lakes in central Wisconsin, faced declining water quality due to rising nutrient levels and algae blooms. Partnering with environmental consultants, they implemented buffer zones, stormwater controls, and aeration systems. The result: clearer water, fewer blooms, and increased recreational use.

Residents installed a Clear 150 Nanobubble Generator at this community pond in 2020. In less than 6 months, dissolved oxygen doubled, harmful algal blooms were eliminated, and fish kills were prevented. One resident shared, “The nanobubble generator has been a critical component to restoring the lagoon and aquatic health.”

Following complaints about foul odors and uncontrolled algae blooms, management installed a Clear 150 and Kingfisher Nanobubble Generator to treat the lake at their 18th hole. In under six months of operation, foul odors and algae blooms were minimized, and water clarity greatly improved.

SOLitude is the nation’s leading lake management company. One of their Florida lakes was unresponsive to chemical treatments. Three weeks after installing a Clear 150 Nanobubble Generator, SOLitude noticed elimination of algal blooms, full dissolved oxygen saturation, improved water quality, and elimination of a 6 inch layer of muck

The owner of this recreationally fished trout pond struggled with worsening algal blooms and weeds, along with unhealthy fish. Three months after installation of a Clear 150 Nanobubble Generator, fish health greatly improved and algal blooms were reduced period

Las Lomas Golf Club in Guadalajara, Mexico was struggling with low dissolved oxygen levels, leading to unsightly algal blooms and foul odors. Under a week after installing a Clear 150, dissolved oxygen levels increased eight fold. This resulted in a massive improvement in water quality, clarity, and odor.

Residents around The Sands 15-acre community lake grappled with fish kills, midge fly outbreaks, and water quality issues, making the lake more of a nuisance than an amenity. Since installation of a Clear 150 Nanobubble Generator, there have been zero fish kills and minimal midge fly outbreaks.

Lake Elsinore is the largest freshwater lake in Southern California. The lake was closed in 2016 due to high levels of toxins produced by blue-green algae. In 2019, lake management conducted an experiment on the effects of a Nanobubble treatment. Nanobubbles caused a 40% reduction in blue-green algae.

The City of Orlando desired a sustainable method to reduce nutrient pollution and fix water quality issues in one of their many lakes. In under 2 years, total nitrogen was reduced by 58% and total phosphorus levels were brought near zero. This massive benefit led to the installation of nanobubble generators in many of their other lakes.​

A pond maintenance company in Palm Springs struggled to find a way to treat the low clarity and foul odor issues in this golf course pond due to aesthetic requirements. The Nanobubble Generator met the aesthetic requirements, and just a month after installation, clarity depth tripled and dissolved oxygen doubled, eliminating foul odors.

Xcaret resort heard about the success of Nanobubble Generators in treating algae, and decided to install two 200 gallon per minute units to treat the algae problem at their nine million gallon water park. After installation, water quality and clarity greatly improved, and the algae problem was mitigated.
