This material accumulates over months and years, and during the peak swimming season, when the water has warmed up, the microorganisms in these sediments become active and break down this organic material. If the gravel is not permeated by water flow, these decomposition processes lead to oxygen depletion in the gravel beds. The subsequent anaerobic decomposition results in the massive release of nutrients, which lead to the growth of algae or thick, slimy coatings on the gravel. Anaerobic decomposition can even produce hydrogen sulfide and methane gas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWM FreshUP\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan\u003ecan be used to oxidize the organic material accumulated in the spaces between gravel beds within a few hours, simultaneously binding the phosphate released in the process.
