FAQ

a) A Green Harmony Bioremediation Block consist millions of microscopic capillaries that progress from one end through to the other. They provide ultimate homes for all the required beneficial bacteria and microbes that maintain the health of water.

b) The block provides the required trace elements for the microbes to thrive and function to their optimal levels whilst also providing the breeding trace elements for Archaea microbes and Bacillus bacteria.

c) This technology is one of the best solutions to solve most of the polluted water issues in the world with the lowest price.

Beneficial bacteria and microbes can break down and process organic waste in water systems naturally. The Green Harmony bioremediation block acts as a protective habitat with all the required trace elements that allow the microbes to breed and multiply at their optimal rate is provided.

Once microbes are re-established in the water system, they can consume the organic waste at an accelerated rate, leaving the water cleaner, healthier and require less maintenance.

Green Harmony Bioremediation Block is completely safe. It has been granted approval from the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) in 2009 as a non-chemical product as it does not destroy, stupefy, repel or inhibit the feeding of algae or aquatic life and the product does not leach any trace elements into the water.

Excess nutrients in the water from organic waste can encourage overgrowth of algae, including algal blooms. Massive algal blooms require lots of nutrients. Green Harmony Bioremediation Block accelerates proliferation of beneficial bacteria and microbes, which consume organic matter. With the food source consumed by the microbes, the algae would starve to death.

Algae control products in the market can be classified into two categories: Chemical and Bacterial supplementation.​

Chemical algae control products, while sometimes show their effectivity in the short term, can potentially have unintended long-term impacts on the ecosystem. Many of the popular chemicals that have been used to control algae could cause harm to fish, plant, and other marine life in the water.

Another negative side effect from chemicals is that algae killed by the treatment would accumulate at the bottom of the pond as an organic sludge. Apart from being undesirable, this organic waste provides the nutrients required to fuel the next major algal bloom, enabling a cycle that will continue to damage the water source.​

As a result of the previous chemical water treatments, excessive fertilizer use in the surrounding areas and other environmental factors, the beneficial bacterial count that water systems can develop have been restricted. This can be remediated through bacterial supplementation. There are several types of beneficial bacteria that can be purchased on the market, in either liquid or powder form.

While using bacteria to clean the water is an natural and organic solution, simple supplementation is, in most of the cases, not a long -lasting solution. Although there is plenty of organic matter in the water to serve as a food source for bacteria, the lack of breeding trace elements in the water and suitable protective surfaces from which to colonize makes it difficult for the beneficial bacteria to become established and thrive in the water system. This often leads to continual supplementation of bacteria into the water body, which makes it an impractical and expensive solution.​

Green Harmony has been specifically developed and designed to provide all the necessary trace elements for both beneficial bacteria and microbes to colonize, exponentially multiply and establish a breeding cycle that can perpetually perform the organic waste breakdown crucial to a healthy, organic and sustainable water body.

When there is another nutrient source present that is not organic waste, algae can still survive in the water. Fertilizer is the most common culprit. The chemicals in fertilizers provide food for plants and algae. Therefore, if fertilizer is continually leaching into the water, algae can continue to grow.

The good news is, using Green Harmony Bioremediation Block will lead to a massive reduction in organic pollution. Normally, the food source for algae will be used up over time and algae will die. This is a good sign showing that your water is on its way to recovery and it means that friendly microbes are working hard.

Green Harmony needs up to 10 weeks before noticeable changes in the water. The process will take longer in stagnate water. Existing water quality will also affect the speed of results. In filtered or moving water, the results can be seen much earlier. The first thing you will notice is a significant reduction in odour.

Green Harmony is a natural solution to organic pollution. If chemical contamination is present in your water source, then some other actions will be required. Please contact us for a free consultation.

Green Harmony Bioremediation Block lower the BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) of the nitrification process by 50% while increasing the conductivity by 100%. This in turn allows oxygen come back into the water system naturally and the excess oxygen is then taken up by soil around the water, which therefore stops the pollution from the dead zone soil. The full recovery of the water system will then begin.

Green Harmony Bioremediation Block simply provides a home and nutrients to the existing beneficial bacteria and microbes in the water. There can only be as many microbes in the water as there is food source to support them.

Therefore, in order to maintain the optimum health of the water body, you may continue to use Green Harmony bioremediation block after the water treatment has been finished.

The standard blocks should be replaced every 3 months and the industrial size blocks should be replaced every 6 months.

* In order to ensure the life cycle of the microbes can be continuous, please always leave the previous block in the water with the new piece of block for at least one-week overlap when you decided to change the block.

Tips: The younger microbes are most effective in the initial stages of the nitrification process while the older ones contribute the most toward the final stages.
