We have found a lot of damage across the world from toxic algae blooms and copper sulfate, which is the most commonly used water treatment by government bodies. This article is not meant to scare, but rather to inform our audience of the growing algae problem that is infecting our pets, children and the future of the world’s waterways.
Please let us know any incorrect information or an update we may have missed from the past few decades. Thanks for your interest in finding a better solution to the global water pollution crisis.

Nualgi has innovated a cost effective natural solution that balances the water food chain and does not require any changes to farmers or citizens routines.
