Jenny & Robert – Kerikeri Pond
This rural dam was showing signs of declining water quality, with suspended material and discolouration affecting overall clarity. The owners were looking for a simple, low-effort solution to improve water appearance and health without harsh chemicals or complicated ongoing maintenance.
Key considerations:
- Large open dam with visible suspended organic matter
- Desire for a natural, hands-off treatment solution
- Long-term water clarity and ecosystem support
Before Treatment
The Plan
A single-step, low-maintenance approach was chosen to restore clarity and manage weed growth:
- Application of Aquasphere® to naturally break down weed and suspended organic matter
- Allow the product to work progressively, restoring water clarity and balance over time
- No harsh chemicals, mechanical agitation, or ongoing intervention required
The Results
Progress after 11 Days
Just 11 days after adding the Aquasphere®, a significant improvement was visible. Water clarity had increased noticeably, with suspended material breaking down rather than being pushed to one side by wind action.
Results – 15 Days After Treatment
Within just over two weeks, the transformation was remarkable:
- Dramatic improvement in water clarity
- Visible reduction in suspended organic matter
- Healthier, more balanced water appearance
- Achieved with a single, low-effort treatment
The change was so pronounced that the owners commented on how surprising and impressive the results were over such a short timeframe.
“We could not believe the difference the sphere was making…Seems quite remarkable.” – Jenny & Robert
