PAK™27 is an EPA-approved algaecide/algaestat used for treating blue-green algae in lakes, ponds, drinking water reservoirs, and aquaculture. See our expanded label here. PAK™27 was developed to provide a non-copper-based, environmentally safe algaecide that would selectively remove blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) without harming the rest of the ecosystem.
Treating the source water of municipal water plants with PAK™27 can reduce operating costs due to improved filtration and reduction of activated carbon needed to remove taste and odor contaminates. Monitoring for blue-green algae regularly and using PAK™27 early as an algaestat allows municipal water plant and lake managers to control blooms and mitigate potential health problems caused by the toxins the blooms can produce.
Recreational lakes and farm ponds can benefit by using PAK™27 as an algaestat to prevent blue-green algae blooms from occurring. Every year some recreational lakes are forced to restrict swimming, boating, and fishing due to blue-green algae blooms. Cattle, dogs, and other pets needlessly die from drinking water contaminated with cyanotoxins.
