Bring autonomous lake protection to your region—and be first to market with a robotics platform that can cut labor‑driven remediation costs by 40–60% while improving outcomes. Oxybots begin shipping March 31, 2026, giving early distributors a clear timing and launch window.​

As harmful algal blooms, bacteria, and swimmer’s itch close beaches and strain community budgets, most programs still spend the majority of funds on manual sampling, boat crews, and one‑off treatments instead of continuous protection. Oxybot flips that model: autonomous robots patrol 24/7, continuously profiling and treating high‑risk zones and stripping out excess phosphorus, so more of every dollar goes into real work in the water—not paperwork and logistics.​

For distributors and partners, this opens a new category: data‑driven lake robotics that replace reactive, season‑to‑season firefighting with a contracted, multi‑year service model. You can offer clients measurable improvements in water quality, fewer closures, and lower total cost of ownership, while building a recurring revenue business around deployment, support, and fleet management.

Proven Lake Chemistry, Modern Delivery

Aluminum treatment is not experimental—it is the same core chemistry that restored Lake Ketchum in Washington State, where targeted alum application cut internal phosphorus loading by over 90% and shifted the lake from persistent harmful blooms to clear, stable conditions that have been maintained for years. Similar aluminum‑based projects have been implemented in more than a hundred lakes across North America, creating a strong scientific and regulatory foundation for using aluminum to lock phosphorus into stable mineral forms and prevent it from recycling back into the water column.​

Oxybot builds directly on this proven science but delivers it in a new way: instead of one‑time boat treatments, it uses onboard aluminum electrocoagulation to generate the same phosphorus‑binding chemistry in a controlled, continuous, and highly targeted manner. This means the lake is not a test case for a new idea—it is benefiting from an established restoration method, upgraded with robotics, sensing, and automation so that the underlying chemistry is applied where and when the lake needs it most.

Bonus: Deliver all of this at an estimated 40–60% lower lifecycle cost than traditional, crew‑intensive treatment models, by replacing sporadic emergency call‑outs with efficient, autonomous in‑lake service contracts​.

Why Partner With Ion Works?

1. Own the AI‑driven robotic wave – Participate in a state of the art robotic, AI‑directed platform that treats algae and bacteria before blooms and closures, instead of chasing symptoms with crews and boats.​
2. Break the labor bottleneck – Traditional treatments burn a large share of remediation budgets on field labour, estimated to be 40% to 60%; Oxybots decouple revenue from crew size so your business scales on systems, not payroll.​
3. Sell climate‑smart lakes – Oxybot restores oxygen and strips phosphorus with a Lake‑Ketchum‑style aluminum process, turning problem lakes into managed climate assets and long‑term service contracts instead of one‑off emergency calls.​
4. Monetize lake intelligence – Continuous sensing and cloud analytics generate high‑value datasets on water quality, trends, and risk, enabling SaaS revenue from subscriptions, dashboards, and reporting tools that lake managers increasingly depend on for planning, compliance, and funding.​
5. Territory you can build on – Secure exclusive regional rights, a dedicated demo unit, and annual renewals tied to performance so the upside you create stays in your portfolio.​
6. Backed by serious IP and support – Distribute a patented, evidence‑driven platform with training, marketing assets, and a clear IP and brand framework that protects both your margins and your differentiation.​
