July 26, 2023 Water Quality Testimonial for White Pond in Concord, Mass. and Use of the A-Pod Technology
"...as a daily swimmer I wanted to share what I have seen this summer in regards to water quality. With the heat and heavy rain this summer we were primed for algae outbreaks much like previous seasons. The water this summer has been crystal clear everywhere on the pond with nothing coming from the bottom to the surface. It is the first time swimming here in almost 20 years that I have seen this kind of clarity this late in the season. The A-Pods are truly amazing and a game changer for clean water!" - Concord resident and frequent pond user.
