In 1976, Ecological Laboratories began producing MICROBE-LIFT, our one-of-a kind formula for use in a broad spectrum of applications in the agricultural, industrial and wastewater treatment fields. It became clear that with a little tweaking, what these bacterial formulations do on a large scale for commercial use can also be valuable on smaller scale applications such as ornamental ponds and water gardens. That is why, in the 1998, Ecological began packaging MICROBE-LIFT for the individual consumer. Now this commercial grade product is solving an even broader range of environmental problems.
