Water restoration for pond and lake owners

To you it's the place itself: the pond your family swims in, fishes, and looks at every day. It deserves better than a monthly jug and a promise.

The problems we see on your water

What Alchemal installs and takes responsibility for

Algae takes over when the pond gives it an advantage. When water runs low on oxygen, algae wins by default. We put the oxygen back, surface to bottom, and the algae loses the conditions it needs. No chemicals in your water, and we’ll show you the measurements, week by week, as it recovers.

The offer is a system plus an ongoing relationship. The N-Series unit does the oxygen work; Stewardship carries everything else: service, sensors, and a report you can actually read. An assessment starts with a measurement, so your pond’s baseline is real before any contract is signed. If the assessment finds your problem isn’t an oxygen problem, the report says so.

Timelines come as ranges because that’s what’s true: measurable oxygen change in 2-4 weeks for most ponds, visible change in 6-12, full confidence after one season. You won’t be waiting blind. We measure weekly, and if the curve isn’t moving, you hear it from us first.

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 this cost compared to what I'm doing now?

More at month one, less over the life of the pond. If you've been treating chemically for a few seasons, add up the invoices. Many owners find they've already spent more than restoration costs, in installments, without the pond getting healthier. The assessment includes that math for your water, using your numbers.

Do I have to drain the pond or stop using it?

No. The system installs in the pond as it is, runs quietly and continuously, and the water stays in use throughout. There's no application to wait out and nothing added to the water except oxygen.

What do I have to maintain?

Approximately nothing, by design. Stewardship includes the service visits, sensor checks, and seasonal transitions. It's powered equipment near water, so we handle winterization and say so in the proposal.

Start with the measurement.

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