WaterWolf

Copper sulfate kills the algae — and the ecosystem. WaterWolf only kills the cyanobacteria. 100% cell kill in 24 hours, verified by the University of Florida.

/ Why it exists

The trade-off ends here.

Copper sulfate kills the algae and the ecosystem with it. WaterWolf kills the cyanobacteria — including the strains that produce microcystin — without collateral damage to the watershed. 100% cell kill confirmed by University of Florida cell-count testing (Dr. H. Dail Laughinghouse IV) at medium and maximum doses, across all initial bloom densities, at 24 hours after treatment.

KILL

100% cell kill — confirmed by cell count

UF cell enumeration (Cells/mL) shows cells drop to ~0 at 24 HAT at medium and maximum doses, across low, medium, and high bloom densities, for both tested formulations. Chlorophyll-a readings show 88.9% because pigment can linger in dead cells — cell count is the definitive measure.

TOXIN

Microcystin reduction

Up to ~65% microcystin reduction at high application rate in dense blooms. Not just the algae — the cyanotoxins.

SAFETY

Outperformed GreenClean 5.0

Laughinghouse lab comparison vs. the Kinley-Baird et al. 2020 published GreenClean results. ANOVA-analyzed; methodology per Yéprémian (2017) and Jung (2008).

/ The data

Validated. Not claimed.

Efficacy is measured by labs you'd take seriously — University of Florida, Eurofins, Product Safety Labs, Dell Tech. Raw data is available for qualified technical reviewers on request.

/ The path

From problem to pilot. Three steps.

If your reservoir, lake, or municipal water body is under cyanobacteria pressure and your current option is copper sulfate or algaecide — piloting WaterWolf is the right decision.Here's how the engagement runs.

Scope a 30-minute call

Tell us about the trade-off you're trying to end in your operation. We reply within two business days.

02/ 03

Pilot design

A Bioferment scientist maps applicable research, selects the right product, and ships samples from Sanford within five days.

03/ 03

On-site integration

The team stays on the pilot until the product is integrated into your operation. Sourcing and regulatory questions answered by the people who built the formula.

/ The stakes

What happens if you don't move.

Harmful algal bloom events are accelerating. The economic and reputational cost of a cyanotoxin incident in your water supply compounds every year you stay on chemistries that can't be used in drinking reservoirs.

Ready for a pilot?

If your reservoir, lake, or municipal water body is under cyanobacteria pressure and your current option is copper sulfate or algaecide — piloting WaterWolf is the right decision.

The team partners on your pilot, works through sourcing and regulatory questions, and stays involved until the product is integrated into your operation.
