Lake & Ponds
A practical pathway to restore water quality without chemicals
Why Nanobubbles Work Where Traditional Aeration Fails
Staying in the water for weeks
Normal sized bubbles produced by traditional methods quickly rise to the surface and release the oxygen in the atmosphere
Up to 90% of oxygen transfer efficiency
Enhanced dissolution and slow release of oxygen and ozone in water because of their high surface area
Oxidizing effect
When ozone nanobubbles collapse they create high pressure and temperatures around them, releasing reactive oxygen species which kill pathogens
Common Water Challenges
Low Dissolved Oxygen, Fish Kills
✓ Raise DO at depth & in sediment
✓ Supports aerobic biology
✓ Reduce anaerobic odors
Harmful Algal Blooms — Cyanobacteria
✓ Induces oxidative stress on algal cells
✓ Improves nutrient cycling and competition by beneficial microbes
Turbidity & Color
✓ Improved clarity
✓ Less sludge accumulation
Organic Load (BOD/COD), Odors
✓ Lower BOD/COD
✓ Reduced smell
Pathogens & Fecal Contamination
✓ Lower pathogen counts
✓ Safer recreation
Why Waboost?
Efficient, reliable, and transparent platform for large-scale water restoration programs
Integrated Oxygen + Ozone, One Platform
Gea systems hyper-oxygenate water and optionally disinfect with ozone—no gas cylinders needed. Systems are modular and easy to retrofit.
Remote Operations at Scale
Waboost Cloud provides real-time sensor data, alarms, and automatic set-point control (e.g., DO/ORP targets) across multiple sites, making it ideal for regional lakes.
Low Energy, Low Maintenance
Efficient pumps and very high gas-transfer efficiency reduce OPEX compared with legacy aeration and chemical programmes. This results in lower lifecycle costs.
Validated Sustainability
Third-party impact validation confirms significant, positive impact, including reductions in water, fertilizer, and chemical use. Governments can use these metrics in their ESG reporting.
Broad Application Track Record
Same core technology has delivered pathogen reduction, DO increases, and performance gains in irrigation and animal water—evidence of robustness and safety.
Implementation Blueprint for a Lakes & Ponds Program
1. Site Assessment
Our partnership with Aqualabo gives us an access to full suite of sensors that we use to monitor the baseline of key parameters:.
- Dissolved Oxygen Profiles
- Oxidation Reduction Potential
- Nutrients
- Chlorophyll-a, E. coli/Enterococcus
- And source diagnostics: inflows, sediment oxygen demand
2. Installation Design
3. Gas strategy & Controls
O₂ nanobubbles for continuous oxygenation, periodic O₃ nanobubble pulses for hotspot disinfection and biofilm/algae reset, governed by ORP set-points.
Waboost Cloud with DO/ORP sensors and automation for safe, steady operations and data transparency to stakeholders.
Ramp-up with conservative set-points.
Weekly to monthly KPI reviews.
Seasonal set-point adjustments via the Cloud platform.
5. Monitoring & Verification
KPIs typically include:
Hypolimnetic DO restoration,
HAB days/year,
Secchi depth,
Pathogen counts,
Odor complaints,
Reductions in operation/chemical costs
Public dashboard options
