Water restoration for golf courses

The pond on the signature hole is member-visible every day, and the irrigation draw touches the turf itself. You're fluent in water chemistry; what you need is a system that doesn't add work to your crew.

The problems we see on your water

What Alchemal installs and takes responsibility for

Your pond’s algae problem is an oxygen problem. Nanobubbles hold dissolved oxygen high through the entire water column, including the sediment interface where nutrient cycling feeds cyanobacteria, so blooms lose the low-oxygen, nutrient-rich conditions they depend on. You’ll see it in the DO logs before you see it from the 14th tee, and the algaecide line in your budget starts shrinking instead of compounding.

The accountability model is the point: an N-Series system sized to the water body, instrumented from day one, with Stewardship carrying service and reporting. Heavily fertilized surrounds keep nutrient pressure high. We’ll show what oxygenation holds against that load and what it can’t, by measurement.

Proof from your peers

Our first published case files for this audience are being measured now. Every installation is instrumented from day one, and our methodology shows what we record and how we report it.

What an assessment involves

  1. A specialist visits your site and profiles the water: dissolved oxygen top to bottom, clarity, and the condition of the sediment.
  2. You get a written baseline: the numbers on day 0, dated, in plain language.
  3. We propose a plan with a prediction attached: what should move, by when, and how we'll both know. If oxygenation isn't the right fix, the report says so.

Questions your procurement will ask

What does my crew have to take on?

Nothing. Stewardship carries the maintenance: service visits, sensor calibration, seasonal transitions. The crew touches nothing, and the system runs continuously without interrupting play or irrigation.

How do I justify this to the GM and the greens committee?

With the same evidence we use: your pond's baseline, the measured curve after installation, and the algaecide line in the budget over time. Reports are written to be forwarded as-is. Case files and spec sheets for internal recommendations are part of the package.

Does it help the irrigation water or just the visible pond?

Both, and by the same mechanism. Higher dissolved oxygen and lower cyanobacteria pressure in the source pond mean better water reaching the root zone, with fewer clogged intakes and screens.

Start with the measurement.

A water assessment puts a baseline on paper before any commitment. Your water, your numbers.
