Blue Lake, OR


Blue Lake Park is a charming community of homes nestled around a 61-acre lake. In its day, the lake was a haven for swimming and fishing—and great for property values. But toxic blue-green algae blooms almost ended it all.

In fact, Blue Lake became a poster child for the most intensive, ongoing restoration efforts. Over the years they tried all kinds of costly chemicals, including copper sulfate, sodium arsenite, 2,4-D and many more — to no avail. Finally, resident Joe Horton looked into SolarBee® solar-powered water circulators. "I heard about the great things they did at other lake communities," he sai

SolarBee’s experts studied Blue Lake and recommended installing three SolarBee units at strategic points. SolarBee’s long distance circulation (LDC), working 24/7, finally brought the blue-green algae blooms under control and the community is thrilled to have their lovely lake back. Joe Horton is particularly impressed. "SolarBee gave us an ongoing education on improving water quality, and now our lake is clean and healthy again."
