Chemtech Aqua Tablet
Chemtech Aqua Tablet
The Aqua tablet is a solid, bacteria based, specially-blended, application-specific product used to remove organic matter from a variety of water systems containing fish and animal wastes or decaying plant material.
It is ideal for maintenance of water quality and sludge reduction in lakes and ponds. The formulation degrades sludge, prevents future build up, and maintains water quality safe for sustaining aquatic life.
Applications
- Ornamental and recreational ponds and lakes
- Commercial fisheries and prawn farms
- Closed water systems
- Fresh, brackish and saline applications
Bacterial Strains (constituents)
- B. amyloliquefaciens
- B. licheniformis
- B. pumilus
- B. megaterium
- B. subtilis inaquosorum
How It Works
A stable aquatic environment is a delicate balance between creation and removal of wastes. If this balance is disturbed then water may become cloudy and dissolved oxygen levels depleted by high demand. Compounds toxic to aquatic life can also build up, making it difficult to restore balance without excessive and expensive cleaning.
The key to keeping healthy ponds is the maintenance of high water quality. The common means to
achieve high quality clean water is an effective biological filtration system and aeration. Effective biological filters rely on the build-up of a microbial biomass that removes solid and dissolved waste materials.
A combination of chemistry and microbiology work together from under the surface of the water to steadily degrade organic matter and sludge, as well as prevent future build-up by out-competing problem microbes. The Aqua tablet contains non-pathogenic Class 1 microorganisms that are both environmentally responsible and safe for the end user.
Features
- Optimized proprietary bacterial consortium to degrade a broad range of organic matter for removal of fish and feed wastes.
- Bacteria also degrade decaying plant material; reducing suspended solids, silt and sediment.
- Helps removal of toxic substances that form during anaerobic metabolism (volatile fatty acids) preventing septicity and stabilizing pH.
- Helps maintain water clarity and promote a healthy environment and phosphate concentrations.
- Regular dosing will enhance water quality, leading to reductions in ammonia, nitrite and phosphate concentrations.
- Bacteria selected to work in conditions of high salinity and low oxygen.
- Can help increase levels of dissolved oxygen.
- Safe, fast aquatic biological filter start-up and improved filter performance, reducing the frequency of water changes.
- Reduces shock to pond life that can arise with large water changes.
- Removes the need for other chemical purification methods.
- Bacillus species 100% in spore form providing long product shelf life.
- Manufactured in accordance with recognized international standards, ISO 9001.

Chemtech’s Microbial Products are the industry-leading odor control, bioaugmentation, solids degradation, and corrosion prevention solutions. For over 20 years, we are the trusted and preferred supplier for a wide range of industries worldwide, including food processing, wastewater treatment, paper and pulp, refinery, and agriculture.
Safe, Natural Product
Microbe Lift O/C formula is a safe, natural product derived from organic matter consisting of natural soil constituents, including humate salts, humic acids, lignin matter and extractions of highly humified organic matters – powerful components that capture odorous compounds and interrupt their corrosive reactions, and enhance biological activities for solids degradation, reducing Total suspended solids (TSS) and Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) levels.

Effective, Environmentally Friendly, & Economical Solution
In industrial and municipal wastewater and sewage treatment plants, pumping stations, septic tanks, and grease traps, Chemtech’s Microbial Products are an effective, environmentally friendly, and economical solution used for the digestion of fats, oils, and grease, as well as the control and reduction of a wide range of odorous compounds, including hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans and ammonia, and their resulting corrosive effects.
What's in our product?
Chemtech’s Microbial products contain powerful bacteria and enzymes that act as organic catalysts to accelerate degradation of many organic polymers, including fats, proteins, plant carbohydrates, and certain types of solid materials.
Improves Efficiency
Microbe formulations effectively reduce treatment surcharges as well as frequency and severity of plant upsets, and remove specific waste compounds at higher rates. This ultimately improves the efficiency of treatment systems to produce higher quality effluents, helping to minimize operational costs and ensuring compliance with municipal and state regulations.
Safe for Personnel to handle
Chemtech’s Microbial products contain high numbers of naturally occurring bacteria that are effective for a wide range of degradation and treatment applications, and are safe for your facilities and personnel to handle.
