SchlixX from OASE’s Professional silt treatment range reduces silt in ponds, lakes, reservoirs and fisheries. OASE’s Professional SchlixX silt treatment adds oxygen to the silt so that existing micro-organisms reduce the silt. It also binds phosphate and thus deprives algae of the nutrients required for growth. OASE’s SchlixX silt treatment remains effective for up to 6 weeks and combats organic sludge. This silt treatment reduces organic sludge deposits and is doubly effective in fighting decay and the formation of hazardous gases.

Free nutrients, mostly phosphate, are the main driver of algal bloom and cause the accumulation of sludge in lakes. Also the organic part of sludge stores free nutrients. By removing it, there is more water capacity in the lake as well as less chance of green and blue-green-algal bloom. SchlixX releases oxygen in the sludge, which leads to two effects: Phosphate being insolubly bonded into apatite. Then micro-organisms naturally present in the sludge use oxygen to decompose the organic matter in the sludge.
SchlixX exclusively combats organic sludge. In other words: sediment such as sand that enters the water through inflows is not removed by SchlixX. Before using the product we recommend analysing the sludge to first determine the precise composition of the water bed.
SchlixX Plus from OASE’s professional range removes silt and sludge using highly effective bio components. A tonne of SchlixX Plus silt treatment can decompose up to 3,000m3 of organic sludge and silt. OASE’s Professional SchlixX Plus binds phosphates and thus deprives algae of nutrients.
Lakes are living bodies of water that constantly change and evolve. As a result of organic residue, surrounding agriculture, industrial operations and sometimes even sewage plants, lake silt builds up. Once the sludge has formed, it impacts the supply of nutrients in the water negatively. Free nutrients are stored in large amounts of organic sludge, increasing the risk of algal blooms. SchlixX Plus is the ideal silt treatment for water in such a perilous state. This effective solution works in both chemical and biological ways. As the released oxygen in the process promotes phosphate-binding into apatite and creates the ideal environment for microbial degradation of the organic sludge.
Then, the natural micro-organisms present in the bio component accelerate the sludge decomposition, by “eating” the organic material. Thus, SchlixX Plus silt treatment exclusively combats organic sludge.
Before using the product we recommend analysing the sludge first to determine the precise composition of the water bed. The sludge analysis should also indicate the decomposition capacity which equates to up to 3,000m3 of sludge for one tonne of SchlixX Plus.

I have an OxiAir Shallow 900 pump with 5 diffuser plates and I love it. It's almost silent, it fizzes oxygen into my lake in a subtle but visible way and Heathland have been super helpful every time I have had a question. I can't recommend them enough and I know the pump will transform my lake, especially in the hot summer months (I am in Charente in France).

Sometimes the lack of power available means a specialist aeration system is required and with the rising energy costs, there is no better option than a solar-powered subsurface aeration system to help keep monthly energy costs down. Heathland Group’s research and development team have engineered the most efficient solar aeration system available on today’s global market.
The OxiAir HD diffused lake aerator is designed and developed with depth in mind. These diffused lake aerators can aerate your lake in depths up to 10m+. The super silent bankside compressor pumps air through the diffuser membranes situated on the lake bed. This diffused aeration system has been designed and manufactured by our team here in the UK.

Wastewater aeration is a crucial process in the treatment of contaminated water, where air is intentionally introduced into the wastewater to facilitate the growth and activity of aerobic microorganisms. This method harnesses the power of oxygen to support the metabolic processes of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms that thrive in oxygen-rich environments.

Large water fountains for lakes are a popular feature that adds aesthetic appeal and enhances the visual experience of a lake. These fountains are designed to create impressive displays of water jets, patterns, and sometimes synchronized lighting effects. They can be installed in both natural and curated...
Heathland Fountains and Aerators were contacted by a domestic client in Essex for a quote in May 2019. The client has a lake on his property where he required a floating lake fountain for aeration. Fountain lighting to create a stunning evening garden display also formed part of the client brief.
Here at Heathland Group, we offer two types of lake aeration, diffused aeration, and floating aeration to help you efficiently aerate your lake. A diffused aerator pumps air through the diffuser membranes, which then travels to the surface in the form of millions of tiny bubbles...
