ShoreTech ALGAE-BLITZ BioCatalyst
AlgaeBlitz is a natural bio-catalyst that accelerates chemical treatments by improving penetration. When mixed with an algaecide or herbicide it speeds the breakdown of dead algae and aquatic plants while stimulating naturally occurring bacteria to fixate nutrients liberated during this process. This complex blend of enzymes, cultures, fungi, and stimulants dissolves the dead algae and aquatic plants on a cellular level, reducing their contribution of nutrients. By accelerating chemical reactions, AlgaeBlitz improves copper algaecide performance. This is especially critical in hard water applications when copper solubility and performance is reduced. AlgaeBlitz alone does not kill anything.
Boosts the effectiveness and "killing power" of copper algaecide Cutrine Plus by up to 4 times! Watch the video below to get the scientific explanation of how it works!
Benefits
- Used as an adjuvant
- Allows for quick recycling of nutrients
- Speeds up the degradation of dead aquatic plants so that Liquid Bacteria can consume and remove them from the water column.
- Improves the performance of Algaecides, Herbicides when using to kill living plants
- Reduces or eliminates the need for chemical Use
- Improves Water Quality
- Rainfast via Improved Absorption
- Safe for the Environment and the Applicator
- Premium grade & laboratory formulated in the United States
- 1 Gallon Jug
(The above graph illustrates the effect Black Label Bio-Chemical Catalyst has on the efficiency of algaecides. The data was gathered over an extended period of time during product testing. An algaecide mixed with Bio Catalyst shows an immediate jump in efficiency over an algaecide used alone, working over 4 times better when applied properly.)

PRODUCT SUMMARY:
Algae-Blitz by Shore Tech Industries is an All-Natural Biocatalyst designed to boost algaecide treatments by up to 4X by improving penetration of dead algae and aquatic plants. It has been formulated using world class equipment along with some of the worlds greatest minds in Bioscience.
This product alone will not kill living plants in lakes and ponds but its molecular make up will boost the performance of particular aquatic algeacides such as Cutrine Plus allowing for less chemical usage.
If using on dead aquatic vegetation such as algae, dead weeds and other floating debris it will boost the effectiveness of Liquid Bacteria so it can digest and remove the broken down flora much quicker.
FAQs
FAQs
Algae-Blitz is a natural biocatalyst used as an adjuvant when mixed with algaecides or herbicides. When used with copper based algaecides like Cutrine Plus, it helps algae treatments perform up to 4× more effectively, speeds uptake, and accelerates the breakdown of dead vegetation while stimulating beneficial bacteria to process released nutrients
Initial treatment: ½ to 3 gallons per acre. For maintenance: 1 to 3 gallons per acre per month. For leaf or pollen cleanup: 2 gallons per acre. Specific rate for Cutrine Plus mix: 32–96 oz per ¼-acre (10,890 sq ft)
It’s suitable for ponds, lakes, decorative waters, hatcheries, canals, golf course ponds, retention ponds, lakes and more. It's non-toxic and safe for fish, wildlife, pets, and plants when used properly
Yes—its blend of enzymes, fungi, and bacterial cultures breaks down dead algae and organic material at the cellular level, making the waste easier for Liquid Bacteria or natural bacteria to remove. Algae-Blitz Biocatalyst CAN be used as a stand-alone application if the algae is dead)
During warmer months (above roughly 50°F), when biological activity is highest—Apply it with an algaecide, after algaecide treatment or during seasonal die-offs.
By accelerating breakdown and reducing organic waste, it limits nitrogen and phosphorus recycling in the water—helping reduce recurring algae blooms.
Yes—store sealed between 50–80 °F, away from direct sun. At 75 °F, activity loss is kept under 10% after 12 months; at 100 °F under 10% after 6 months
When properly mixed and applied, expect faster algae kill and more rapid biomass breakdown, with clear water improvements often visible within 1–2 weeks, depending on algae density and conditions.
