Total Phosphorus Test

If you are concerned about excessive algae and/or plant growth on your lake, this test helps identify nutrient enrichment that can lead to excessive algae and plant growth, reduced oxygen levels, and overall ecosystem imbalance. Elevated phosphorus levels often indicate runoff from fertilizers, soil erosion, or wastewater, and testing allows lake managers to track nutrient inputs, prevent harmful algal blooms, and make informed decisions to maintain healthy water quality for aquatic life and recreational use.
