HydraLife Solutions is a Denver, Colorado-based aquaculture business offering a turnkey $250,000 IP and asset sale of a proprietary biological water remediation platform. We grow live, beneficial phytoplankton and ship it to managers of lakes, ponds, and irrigation water. What a strategic acquirer purchases is the production capability, the field evidence, and the first real position in a biological category that is effectively a category of one.

Harmful algal blooms are worsening annually in number, geography, and severity due to excess nutrients. Currently, 85 to 90 percent of the US harmful-algae treatment market relies on chemical algaecides or aeration systems. Chemical treatments simply kill existing algae cells, leaving the underlying problem (excess phosphate, ammonia, and nitrate) behind to fuel the next bloom. They treat the symptom and guarantee recurrence.

HydraLife has built a proven biological alternative based on competitive exclusion. We introduce a beneficial phytoplankton community that consumes the exact same dissolved nutrients the harmful algae need. Starved of their food source, harmful algae cannot sustain a bloom. This creates a counterintuitive advantage: the product performs best in high-nutrient water. The more nutrient loading a pond receives, the more fuel our beneficial community has to establish dominance. Furthermore, in agricultural or golf settings, the phytoplankton-rich water acts as a powerful soil biostimulant during regular irrigation.

This technology is backed by measured field results. Because phosphate is typically the limiting nutrient setting the ceiling on algae growth, it is our headline reading. We have achieved phosphate reductions from 0.5 ppm to 0 ppm in just 6 days in a reclaimed water golf irrigation pond.
