ResET Water uses an Electrochemical Oxidation (EO) process to safely and effectively remove harmful algal blooms (HABs) from water bodies. This technology allows landowners, lake associations, and local communities that rely on water services to have peace of mind that they can enjoy their body of water safely and obtain all benefits and ecosystem services that local water bodies offer.
Problem
Cyanobacteria, which release cytotoxins that have significant health effects, are associated with HABs, which most often develop in nutrient rich and warm water bodies. Widespread HABs, lead to beach closings, negatively impact tourism and property values.
Solution
While long term solutions to HABs involve mitigating nutrient discharges to water bodies, short term solutions are needed to protect human health and the environment. ResET Water has developed a process based on EO principles that can be quickly deployed to remove HABs without the addition of chemicals. The process is fast, reliable and easy to implement.
