Overview

This concentrated MuckAway formula can be used for total pond and lake applications or spot treatments. MuckAway Total Lake is The Original Muck Reducer leading the industry as the most effective, strongest, proven solution in muck reduction.
Developed from over 20 years of research and comprehensive field studies, MuckAway Total Lake bacteria rapidly consume muck, converting it to an odorless gas which escapes unnoticed out of the water column. MuckAway Total Lake utilizes BioMax Technology, a proprietary method to formulate the safest and most effective natural treatment - MuckAway Total Lake eliminates up to 2" of muck each month! No water use restrictions, and safe for use in lakes and ponds.

How Does MuckAway Total Lake Work?
As ponds and lakes age, organic debris from decaying vegetation and runoff accumulates to form thick, slimy, foul pond muck. The naturally occurring bacteria in the waterbody is often not being enough to keep up with muck accumulation.
MuckAway Total Lake tablets are comprised of highly concentrated muck-reducing bacteria. Tablets are designed to sink below the water's surface, traveling directly to the muck layer. Tablets then dissolve, releasing highly concentrated MuckAway beneficial bacteria that instantly begin consuming and digesting the settled organic debris, rapidly converting it into an odorless gas that escapes unnoticed out of the water column. The high concentration of beneficial bacteria works at the microscopic level to eliminate up to 2 inches of muck each month!
BioMax Technology - Bacteria Formulated for Pond & Lake Applications
There are trillions of bacteria strains on Earth, each with unique properties and specialties. MuckAway Total Lake utilizes BioMax Technology, a proprietary formulating process developed by Airmax. The BioMax process starts with analyzing the DNA of bacteria to ensure the correct bacterial strain is selected depending on the application. Once this process is complete, the bacteria are paired with specific micronutrients and enzymes to maximize the effectiveness of the formula while allowing it to work consistently in a wider range of environments.
Through this process, as well as extensive research and field testing, Airmax has selected exclusive beneficial bacteria strains that are the most effective in pond muck reduction. Those powerful strains make MuckAway Total Lake the industry leader in total lake muck and pond sludge reduction.
