New Innovations in Water Depthening 

By Pam Freese

What is Rigero Biopod Systems? In this article, we will discuss the revolutionary advancements that Rigero has made in water depthening for the upcoming 2024 lake season. Their state-of-the-art technology aims to reduce muck accumulation, prevent algae blooms and harmful vegetation, and restore lake health without the use of chemicals. Read on to discover how Rigero Biopod Systems can address these common issues in freshwater bodies. 

Rigero Biopod Systems: Reducing Muck Accumulation 

One of the biggest challenges faced by lake owners and enthusiasts is the accumulation of muck or sediment at the bottom of the water bodies. Excessive muck buildup makes swimming uncomfortable, affects aquatic life, and disrupts the overall aesthetics of the lake. Rigero Biopod Systems solution to this problem by deploying enzyme pucks in specialized equipment that gently stirs the sediment through aeration, effectively reducing muck accumulation by 2-12 inches per year. 

Preventing Algae Blooms and Harmful Vegetation 

Algae blooms and the growth of harmful vegetation can have a devastating impact on lake ecosystems. These issues not only affect the visual appeal of the water bodies but also pose significant threats to aquatic life. Rigero Biopod Systems has an innovative approach that tackles these problems without the need for chemical intervention. By creating a controlled water flow pattern that distributes their patented enzymes, disrupting the growth of algae and preventing the proliferation of harmful vegetation, ensuring a healthier lake ecosystem. 

Reducing Phosphorus: A Key to Lake Health 

Phosphorus, a common nutrient found in freshwater bodies, is notorious for causing water quality issues. Excessive levels of phosphorus can lead to the growth of algae and harmful vegetation, resulting in degraded water quality and an imbalance in the lake ecosystem. Houston Lake has an excess of phosphorus in our lake from upstream farms and lawn fertilizers. The Biopod systems act as natural filters, removing excess nutrients and restoring the ecological balance of the water body. 

Cooler Water Temperatures for Enhanced Enjoyment 

During hot summer months, the temperature of freshwater bodies can increase, making it less enjoyable for recreational activities. The addition of the small aerators will mitigate this issue by utilizing natural water flow patterns to increase circulation and promote cooling. By creating a more comfortable environment, our systems enhance your overall lake experience. 

Restoring Lake Health: A Chemical-Free Approach 

Many homeowners are concerned about the use of chemicals to solve water quality issues. Rigero Biopod Systems provides a chemical-free alternative for lake restoration that addresses the root causes of common lake problems and restores lake health naturally. By harnessing the power of water flow and natural ecological enzyme processes, our their systems offer a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution. 

Conclusion 

In the upcoming 2024 season, The board is asking for approval of funding from the membership to test Rigero’s systems to reduce muck accumulation, preventing algae blooms and harmful vegetation, reducing phosphorus, and promoting cooler water temperatures for a healthier, more enjoyable lake experience.
