Fast-Acting Algaecide for Wastewater Lagoons

Argos is a highly effective copper-based algaecide formulated for use in wastewater lagoons, treatment ponds, and other aquatic systems experiencing nuisance algae growth. It rapidly controls a broad spectrum of algae, including filamentous, planktonic, and blue-green algae (cyanobacteria), helping to restore lagoon clarity, improve oxygen transfer, and reduce BOD loading.

Algae blooms can interfere with treatment performance by clogging surfaces, depleting oxygen, and contributing to organic solids buildup. Argos works by penetrating algal cells and disrupting their metabolic function, resulting in fast die-off and control of both surface and subsurface growth. It’s ideal for routine algae management or as a response to seasonal blooms and warm-weather surges.

Argos is easy to apply, cost-effective, and compatible with other lagoon treatment strategies, including biological treatments and bioaugmentation products like PondZilla Pro. When used together, these products enhance algae penetration and degradation, ensuring more complete treatment and reducing the likelihood of regrowth.

Trusted by operators nationwide, Argos delivers dependable algae control that helps maintain wastewater lagoon health, improve effluent quality, and support long-term system efficiency.
