What is Algae?
“Algae” is a broad term referring to a diverse group of aquatic organisms that contain chlorophyll and produce energy through photosynthesis. Unlike plants, algae do not have stems, flowers, or vascular tissues. However, some algae look like plants–seaweed is a type of multicellular algae that can grow in huge forests, while species in the genus Chara resemble small freshwater plants. Other types of algae grow in mats (filamentous algae) while the smallest species don’t have a solid form but instead just turn the water column green (planktonic algae). Though many species are harmless, there are some that contain toxins that can be deadly, so it is important to keep algae under control.

A client in Oxford, NC contacted us about having an issue with their fountain not working. After a site visit, we were able to determine that the capacitors were faulty and not working properly. In cases like this, we order and replace the capacitors and fix that issue before we address any other issues. 
A local animal care center recently contacted us to install an aerating fountain on their on-site pond used by dogs to cool off, play, and get exercise. After speaking with the owner about exactly what they were looking for, we found a reliable, low-maintenance aerator that would promote a healthier pond by circulating that water and keeping the oxygen level up.
