Phoslock Environmental Technologies has unveiled Phos-Chat, a new online support system designed to connect water body owners directly with industry experts for instant advice, information sharing, and tailored solutions to nutrient pollution.

Available now on phoslock.co.uk and phoslock.eu, Phos-Chat leverages over 25 years of water body management experience, offering guidance on everything from nutrient build-up to long-term water quality restoration.

Phos-Chat enables users to share photos and questions about their lakes, ponds, or wetlands, receiving real-time feedback from a team that has restored hundreds of water bodies worldwide-including Sites of Special Scientific Interest and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This interactive approach is particularly vital during seasonal transitions, when water health issues often intensify.

As spring turns to summer, rising temperatures and increased sunlight can trigger the release of nutrients like phosphorus, fuelling water quality problems that may have built up silently over winter. Nutrients don’t disappear in colder months; they remain in sediments, poised to drive water quality and health issues as soon as conditions change.

Damian Whelan, Director UK, says:

“Phos-Chat is a game-changer for our clients. For the first time, water body owners can instantly share their concerns, upload photos, and get direct answers from our team-backed by over 25 years of water management experience. This tool bridges the gap between sometimes complex science and practical, on-the-ground support, giving clients the peace of mind they need all year round.”

He adds:

“Having worked across the UK and internationally for nearly three decades, I know how vital it is for clients to access expert advice quickly-especially as water quality challenges become more complex with climate change and tighter regulations. Phos-Chat gives everyone, from homeowners to large site managers, a direct line to our expertise and proven solutions.”

Damian continues:

“We’re not just providing a product; we’re offering a partnership. Our clients can rely on us for tailored guidance, whether they’re managing a small ornamental pond or a designated conservation site. With Phos-Chat, support is just a click away, helping you stay ahead of nutrient pollution and keep your water safer, healthier and beautiful.”

With climate change expected to worsen nutrient-driven water challenges, tools like Phos-Chat are essential for providing timely support and peace of mind to water body owners.

By offering direct access to expert advice and proven solutions like Phoslock, a safe, sustainable technology that locks away phosphorus and prevents its harmful effects, Phos-Chat empowers users to maintain healthy, balanced waters year-round.
