Waterbodies

The Challenge of Waterbody Management

Managing the health of lakes, rivers, and reservoirs has become increasingly complex. Many water bodies suffer from sediment buildup, including compacted layers that reduce depth and flow capacity. Excess nutrient loading from surrounding land use fuels harmful algal blooms, while algae growth and turbidity diminish water clarity and visual quality. Beneath the surface, anaerobic sediment activity releases greenhouse gases and further depletes oxygen levels, creating conditions that harm aquatic ecosystems. Over time, these combined issues lead to ecosystem degradation, affecting both water quality and the balance of aquatic life—making restoration and long-term management more challenging and costly.

TryMarine: A New Kind of Treatment for Complex Water Issues

TryMarine is a next-generation liquid treatment applied by boat directly onto lakes, reservoirs, and other freshwater systems.
It's not a flocculant, coagulant, algaecide, or biological additive. TryMarine represents an entirely new class of solution — one that’s effective, affordable, and sustainable.

Proven Performance

• NSF/ANSI Standard 60 certified for use in drinking water systems
  (safe up to 522 ppm; typical treatments are under 2 ppm)

• Used across 26 U.S. states, including municipalities and universities

• Demonstrated safety and effectiveness in sensitive environments, including fisheries and aquaculture facilities

Key Benefits:

• Fast, Measurable Results — Backed by Science: TryMarine begins working immediately upon application, with visible water quality improvements often seen within days, and a noticeable color change within a few months.

• Dual Impact: Improved Water Quality + Increased Capacity: As TryMarine settles to the bottom, it begins breaking down both loose and compacted sediment, restoring depth and storage capacity naturally—without dredging. This sediment regeneration process supports the recovery of aquatic and riparian habitats, making water bodies swimmable, fishable, and ecologically vibrant again.

• Remove Muck, Leave Behind Sand: TryMarine converts organic muck into nutrients that feed the lake’s natural food web—improving conditions for swimming, fishing, and recreation.

• Improve Water Quality: Independent testing regularly documents reductions of 50% or more in nutrient levels within both sediment and the water column, resulting in clearer, healthier water.

• Eco-Friendly: TryMarine works through natural oxygen release and sediment oxidation—restoring balance without disruption.

• Safe: Certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 60, TryMarine is approved for use in potable water sources and drinking water reservoirs.

Restoring Water Systems from the Bottom Up

From reservoirs and rivers to lakes and ponds, TryMarine helps regenerate sediment, improve water quality, and increase system capacity—providing a sustainable, science-based solution for long-term water resource management.
