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.

Available for use alongside Diatomix Concentrate and Diatomix IV in larger water systems where silica supplementation is required.
