The Proof is in the Science
Winkler Mill Pond Independent Field Study by Airmax
The Pond
An irregular shaped, multiacre pond in Rochester Hills, Michigan, was chosen to test various muck reducing bacteria treatments. Three independent 1-acre portions of the lake were divided out for treatment.
The Plan
The objective of the study is to compare the real-world performance of Airmax MuckAway and competitors’ bacterial muck reducers. Each 1-acre portion of the pond received a different muck reduction product, which was applied per manufacturer instructions.
Treatments started in April and occurred biweekly for 22 weeks, for a total of 10 applications. Testing occurred biweekly, for a total of 11 tests. Reports were generated at the midpoint and final stage.
The Results
At the conclusion of the study, MuckAway had outperformed the other muck reduction products by four times. MuckAway returned a soft sediment (muck) reduction of 4.4 inches. Competitor muck products reduced soft sediment by 0.9 and 1.1 inches, respectively.
