Muck Pellets – Information Discussed at Annual Meeting
From: Rod Holbrook
Subject: Info on muck pellets
Here are the two brands of pellets that I have used with success. I was able to purchase both of them through Amazon for a little better deal.
I think that these types of products are all about the same, so if anyone runs across a better deal please pass it along.
What I do…
• Generally you just broadcast these over the area that you want to treat following the recommended quantity of pellets.
• They advertise it as safe for animals, aquatic wildlife and kids swimming holes.
• Water needs to be between 50-80 degrees. I usually do a treatment in early May and then another in mid-June because of our big July 4th party.
• The pellets release an aerobic bacteria that eats the sludge.
• You should see results within two weeks.
• Agitating the water seems to help between treatments, I use a landscaping rack that I picked up at Home Depot for about $70, much cheaper than some of the lake rakes that I’ve seen for $200-$300.
The sites below give a lot of great advice on how to take care of your lake and also sell the pellets, along with many other products.

Hope this helps the folks at the lake.

Front Gate Clickers
Several members have had issues with their Gate Clickers recently. Many have been caused by a low battery, or the switches inside the controller have moved out of the sequence.
You can check your battery strength by pushing the open button on the Clicker. A bright red light means the battery is good. If the light fails to come on, or is dim in color, please replace the battery (9 volt).
We suggest that if you leave when the gate is closed, that you use your Clicker to open the gate from the inside, so you know your Clicker is working properly before you leave.
Please contact Chuck Groshek at (972-972-9313) for any clicker related issues.
