OASE Lake Therapy SchlixX Sludge Digester 50 lb

OASE Lake Therapy SchlixX is a professional-grade sludge digester that releases oxygen into the bottom sediment for up to six weeks per application, promoting the digestion of organic muck while permanently binding any phosphorus released during the process. The dense formula provides superior downward penetration into the sediment where the work has to happen.

What It Treats

• Organic sediment build-up on pond and lake bottoms
• Phosphorus release from digesting muck
• Low dissolved oxygen at depth
• pH imbalance at the sediment-water interface
• Foul odors from anaerobic bottom conditions

How To Apply

• Dry or slurry application (slurry is preferred for even coverage)
• Apply evenly across the water surface of the body of water
• Treatment rate: 450 lbs per acre — each 50 lb bag covers approximately 4,882 sq ft (0.11 acre)
• Oxygen release sustained for up to 6 weeks per application
• Retreat following OASE's seasonal treatment plan for optimal results

Key Features

• Digests organic sediment by releasing oxygen for 6+ weeks into the bottom layer
• Permanently binds phosphorus released during sludge digestion — prevents the nutrient from feeding new algae blooms
• Buffers pH at the sediment level where redox conditions are most volatile
• Superior downward penetration — dense formula reaches the bottom sediment where action is needed
• Alternative to mechanical dredging — lower cost, less disruptive to fisheries and aquatic ecosystems
• Commercial-grade — used by lake managers for sludge-heavy ponds and recreational lakes

✅ Safe for fish, wildlife, and aquatic plants.
