High pressure groundwater aluminum sulfate treatment

Purchase your high pressure groundwater aluminum sulfate treatment solution fast and easy.

PHOSCLEAR® is a proprietary blended and buffered preparation of Aluminum Sulfate, a safe and widely used chemical in water treatment and industrial applications.

Commonly called “Alum”, Aluminum Sulfate is the most widely used chemical in North America to treat municipal wastewater flows for phosphate control and for clarification before discharging into an estuary.

In addition to being the high pressure groundwater aluminum sulfate treatment for your needs, PHOSCLEAR® is perfect for water clarity without changing the pH level for fountains, groundwater, ionic water, lagoons, lakes, ponds, salty water, and sea water.

When used as directed, PHOSCLEAR® will improve clarity with excellent control of soluble phosphates.

What is Alum?

Aluminum Sulfate (Al₂(SO₄)₃) is commonly called “ALUM.” This product is commonly used as a coagulating agent in municipal waste waters for clarity and phosphate control. It is also used in paper making, as a food chemical in pickling, and as a “Styptic Pencil” for superficial shaving cuts.

The Aluminum cations (Al ⁺³) bond with phosphate anions (PO₄ ^-3) in the water. The resulting Aluminum Phosphate (AlPO₄) is insoluble in water. This precipitate settles to the bottom of the pond and the phosphate is no longer available as a nutrient.

Also, the Aluminum ions act to agglomerate suspended dirt particles leaving the fishpond water sparkling clear.

PHOSCLEAR® is not an aquatic herbicide. It is a water treatment product intended to improve water quality by removing soluble phosphate from the water column and by precipitating out suspended dirt particles to clarify the pond, lagoon, or lake.

How is PHOSCLEAR® different from Standard Alum?

Standard Alum is quite acidic and a large dose to a pond will lower the pH of the water. It the pond drops below pH of 6, fish can be harmed or killed. The buffering agent in PHOSCLEAR® works to hold the pH steady.

We recommend that you take a water sample and perform full tests for pond water chemistry (Ammonia, Nitrates, Nitrites, and pH) before treating with PHOSCLEAR®.
