Description

The Problem

Algae infestations are common in the water with excessive nutrients, including nitrates and phosphates. Other conditions that support algae to thrive are abundant sunlight and warm weather. You would be able to clear filamentous algae of most types with popular algae treatment product available on the shelf, but some strains of algae are particularly difficult to get rid of. These stubborn forms of algae do not respond to common treatment products or procedures and retain their shape and colour even after the product application.  Some of the most difficult algae strains to treat are Cladophoraglomerata, Enteromorpha Spirogyra, genus Charamacrophytic algae, Rhizoclonium and some varieties of blanket weed.

The Solution

Hydra ST703 is an outcome of the dedicated research efforts at ISO certified Hydra International Ltd. The product composition of Hydra ST703 includes a unique minerals and enzymes blend that rapidly starves off even the toughest algae. Hydra ST703 comes with an added advantage is its residual effect in the water which means that the product actively keeps off algae long after the initial application. Unlike most other products Hydra ST703 is effective even during cooler months of the year.
