Water Quality Solutions is the number one place Aussies go when looking to improve the water in their dam, lake or lagoon, naturally.
Our People
We have product specialists and installers Australia-wide. This allows us to service and supply products to all areas of Australia. That said, our main warehouse and the bulk of our team is located in Melbourne.
Our people are a mixture of product specialists, field workers and warehouse staff. We come from many walks of life but we all share a passion for aquatic ecology and eco-friendly practices.
Our Mission
To improve the health of as many Australian dams, lakes and ponds as we can without using chemicals.
Our Method
Our two-step, 100% natural approach to water quality improvement is ridiculously simple and yet guaranteed to work. It involves mimicking natural lakes and rivers that typically have more oxygen and more “good” microbes than man-made lakes.
- Install an aerator to add oxygen to your water
- Feed the “good” microbes in the water using Biostim
These “good” microbes eat the sludge on the floor of your dam and consume nutrients (like nitrogen and phosphorus) which starves out algae and weeds. They also clear the water of organic cloudiness and outcompete “bad” microbes which cause toxins and foul odours.
Founders story
Scotty Tucker grew up in Melbourne. Left brain dominant, he pursued his interest in mechanics becoming an aircraft maintenance engineer for Ansett in the nineties.
Everything changed when he visited the Red Sea in 1997 to do a scubadiving trip. Returning home, he decided to quit his career as an aeronautical engineer and pursue his newfound love for water...
Since 2009 we've helped tens of thousands of Aussies improve their water, naturally.
Water Quality Solutions founded
Scott started Water Quality Solutions in 2009 after working for a few different organisations related to water quality. He decided to venture out on his own after finding himself increasingly frustrated by the over-recommendation and overuse of chemicals in water treatment.
In the field, he had witnessed the disastrous results of algaecide and herbicide overuse as well as the radical transformations made to waterbodies with adequate natural treatments.
Water Quality Solutions was founded as a way to provide Australians with natural, chemical-free ways to treat water; both advice and products. Since inception we've grown to be the number one place Aussies go when looking for help improving water in their dam, lake or lagoon.
Whittlesea—The Next Frontier
Most recently, Water Quality Solutions purchased 20 acres in Whittlesea, VIC. This will allow us to spread our wings as well as lean into Scotty’s love of aquaculture. A passion project of Scotts, we’re currently in the process of setting up ponds to breed rare fish to support populations and to counteract endangerment events. For instance, if there is a massive fish kill in a lake, and the fish species is particularly rare, we can supply fish ourselves or lean on our network of fish buyers to track down breeding pairs which can be used to replenish the lost populations. We’ll also be growing aquatic plants.
Beyond Australia...
While most of our customers are Aussies, we've helped people all over the world. A few of our big international projects include Qatar National Museum, Sentosa Cove in Singapore and Stavros Niarchos Cultural Centre in Athens.
If you're looking for help with an international project, feel free to reach out and we can see if we're able to help. Usually, if we can't, we can at least point you toward someone who can.
