What is Biostim?

Meet our range of 100% natural probiotics for water

Biostim is a range of 100% natural biological stimulants which improve water quality in dams, ponds and lagoons by spiking populations of "good" bacteria.

Biostim is made of bacterial cultures, enzymes and nutrients, and is designed to introduce and support populations of "good" (aerobic) bacteria. These “good” guys actively produce enzymes, speeding up the breakdown of organic waste, which clears the water of cloudy organic debris. This reduces nutrients in the water, making less food available for algae and weeds. The "good" bacteria also eat sludge, which is fertiliser for pests, and eradicate odours caused by "bad" (anaerobic) microbes.

Key Benefits
  • Wakes up 'good' microbes
  • Reduces sludge
  • Starves out algae + weeds
  • Reduces nutrients in the water
  • Clears water of organic murkiness
  • Eradicates odours

How does Biostim improve water quality?

customer story

Algae Reduced by 98% in 11 Weeks Using Biostim

We ran a 3-month trial in a City of Manningham council lake to measure the impact of Biostim probiotics on algae and blue-green algae. Water samples were taken prior to Biostim being used. We then treated the lake with a standard dose of Biostim for 3 months. No other method of treatment was used, e.g. no aerators, chemicals or manual removal took place.

"Since WQS installed the aerator, we've not had a single algae problem. In our smaller ponds that are too small for aerators we used Biostim pellets on their own and have noticed a huge reduction in algae.”

“We had a nutrient-rich stormwater lake that was having continuous problems with algae. We were previously treating the nutrients with a liquid solution that would just end up getting flushed away with the outgoing water. Scott recommended we switch to Biostim pellets which were exactly what we needed.”

Giles Pickard

Environment Project Officer, City of Subiaco

“Visiting ducks and our pet geese were continuously fouling the dam. WQS recommended a number of systems to improve the water quality. We are very happy with our final choice, the windmill aeration system. This combined with the Biostim pellets and liquid are cleaning up the dirty dam. Everything WQS said would happen has happened!”

“We had an urgent problem—our old irrigation system had blockages from weeds. Our dam was also riddled with black sludge. Scott recommended both aeration and biologicals and within six weeks the dam became so clear I could see to the bottom of it for the first time in years! I was chuffed that we could fix the issue without the use of chemicals.”
