As spring temperatures rise and ice retreats from lakes and ponds, lake managers shift their focus from winter dormancy to proactive restoration. This seasonal shift marks the beginning of what we like to call “SchlixX Season”—a crucial window for addressing internal nutrient loading and restoring balance to the sediment before weeds and algae take over. 

At the heart of this strategy is SchlixX Plus, a scientifically formulated product that targets one of the root causes of eutrophication: organic-rich sediments and the phosphorus they release. Unlike traditional treatments that only address one of these issues or mask symptoms, SchlixX Plus works from the sediment up—breaking the nutrient cycle, building long-term stability, and reducing organic sediment accumulation. 

Why Early Season Treatment Matters 

By the time invasive algae and nuisance weeds appear, they’ve already taken advantage of nutrient-rich conditions that have been building all winter. Much of this nutrient load comes not from external runoff, but from internal loading—phosphorus and organic matter accumulating in the sediment. 

Applying SchlixX Plus early in the season means: 

• Phosphorus is bound before it’s bioavailable to algae and aquatic weeds. 

• Anaerobic sediments are oxygenated, improving conditions for beneficial benthic organisms. 

• Long-term sediment reduction begins with microbial activation and oxygen release. 

• Peak growing season is protected, reducing the need for algaecides or herbicides later. 

How SchlixX Plus Works 

SchlixX Plus is a multi-functional sediment treatment that binds phosphorus, buffers pH, increases sediment oxygen levels, and supports microbial activity—all with a single application. Its formula includes components like calcium peroxide and limestone that gently oxidize the sediment layer, creating a healthier, more stable environment. 

Key benefits include: 

• Permanent phosphorus binding—rendering it unavailable to fuel blooms. 

• Enhanced microbial activity—aiding in the natural breakdown of organic sludge. 

• Oxygen generation—improving sediment and bottom water quality. 

• pH buffering—protecting aquatic ecosystems from swings that stress aquatic life. 

Dollar for Dollar, It’s the Most Productive Tool Available 

When you factor in the cost of traditional treatments—like repeated algaecide applications, oxygenation systems, pH buffers, nutrient remediation efforts, and biological additives—it becomes clear: 

Dollar for dollar, SchlixX Plus is more productive than any other combination of products on the market. 

You’re not just getting a one-time fix; you’re investing in a system reset. One application provides multiple benefits that would normally require an entire suite of products—and repeated treatments—to even approach. That means lower long-term costs, less labor, and better results season after season. 

Best Practices for SchlixX Season 

1. Start early. Ideally, apply SchlixX Plus when average water temperatures reach 50°F and before aquatic vegetation has taken hold.
2. Use sediment data. If possible, measure sediment depth and phosphorus content to help track changes over time.
3. Pair with monitoring. Track changes in clarity, phosphorus levels, and algal presence to demonstrate long-term results.
4. Plan for multiple years. Severely impacted systems may benefit from annual applications as part of a long-term rehabilitation strategy.

Results You Can See—and Measure 

SchlixX Plus doesn’t just offer cosmetic improvements. Lake managers report: 

• Significant decreases in total phosphorus and internal loading within a season. 

• Improved water clarity and lower algae biomass. 

• Thinner sediment layers over time, reclaiming depth and volume. 

When used consistently, SchlixX Plus becomes a foundational tool in the broader strategy of lake restoration and nutrient balance. And it does so more efficiently—both ecologically and economically—than traditional alternatives. 

Make This Season Count 

SchlixX Season is your opportunity to shift from reactive to proactive. Instead of chasing algae blooms all summer, address the conditions that cause them. With a science-backed solution like SchlixX Plus, you’re not just improving water quality—you’re reclaiming your lake’s future.
