Airmax MuckAway is the industry’s leading natural solution for muck reduction, proven to eliminate up to 2 inches of muck per month. Backed by over 20 years of research and real-world testing, MuckAway harnesses powerful, precision-formulated bacteria that rapidly digest organic waste, converting it into an odorless gas that escapes unnoticed from the water column.
Powered by Airmax’s proprietary BioMax® Technology, MuckAway delivers the safest, most effective treatment for restoring lake and pond bottoms. It contains no harsh chemicals, has no water use restrictions, and is safe for use around people, pets, fish, and wildlife. Ideal for targeted spot treatments or whole-lake applications, MuckAway is the trusted choice for a cleaner, clearer shoreline.
As ponds and lakes age, organic debris from fish waste, leaves, twigs, decaying plants, and runoff accumulates, forming thick, foul-smelling muck along the bottom. The naturally occurring bacteria in the water often aren't sufficient to keep up with this buildup.
MuckAway tablets sink below the surface and travel directly to the muck layer. Once there, they dissolve and release highly concentrated beneficial bacteria that immediately begin breaking down and digesting the settled organic matter. This process rapidly converts the muck into an odorless gas that safely escapes from the water column. At full strength, MuckAway can eliminate up to 2 inches of muck per month.
Backed by over 20 years of proven lab and field results, MuckAway is the most widely trusted and effective solution for muck reduction. It clears muck from beaches, lakefronts, and dock areas—while eliminating noxious odors for good.
