Benefits at a Glance
Supplies bioavailable silica where levels are low
Enhances the effectiveness of Diatomix treatments
Supports stronger diatom growth and nutrient uptake
Helps stabilise water quality over time
Suitable for larger or complex water systems
Why Silica Matters
In many natural and engineered water systems, silica — not nitrogen or phosphorus — becomes the limiting factor for beneficial diatom growth.
When silica levels fall:
Diatom activity declines
Nuisance algae gain advantage
Nutrients remain dissolved in the water column
Without adequate silica, even well-managed systems can struggle to maintain clarity.
SiLution restores bioavailable silica, helping beneficial diatoms continue absorbing nutrients and supporting natural ecosystem balance.
How SiLution Works
SiLution provides soluble and amorphous silica that:
Becomes available when natural silica has been depleted
Supports ongoing diatom productivity
Strengthens the biological processes that improve water quality
This is not an algaecide.
SiLution is a strategic support product that removes silica limitation — allowing Diatomix treatments to perform at their full potential.
When to Use SiLution
Use SiLution in combination with Diatomix when:
Reactive silica levels are low (typically below ~4 mg/L)
Algae issues persist despite nutrient management
Water systems are regularly recirculated or diluted with rainwater
You are managing large or complex waterbodies
For precise dosing guidance, use our calculator or contact us for advice based on your system’s volume and silica levels.
Application Notes
SiLution is supplied as a silica-rich paste containing amorphous silica.
It can be used as a slow-release additive to help maintain adequate reactive silica concentrations and ensure Diatomix and Diatomix IV perform optimally over time.
