Pioneering the Future of Clean, Healthy Lakes

Lakes hold the dreams of nature—timeless and pure.                                                                                                            In their reflection, we glimpse the legacy we are bound to protect.

REGRETFULLY We’re losing our lakes—one summer at a time—while the threats go IGNORED and untreated

Lakes nurture nature’s dreams—timeless and pure. In their stillness, we glimpse a legacy we’re called to safeguard. At Ion Works, we honour this inheritance—quietly interrupting the cycle of lake decline before it starts. Our robotic technology, Oxybot, works relentlessly not only to shield your waters from algae, E. coli, and swimmer’s itch, but also to strip away the excess nutrients, like phosphorus, that fuel future outbreaks. This comprehensive guardianship ensures these lakes remain havens of life for generations to come.

Algae Bloom MITIGATION

We target algae before it blooms, helping to keep lakes clean and safe for communities, and lakefront property owners.

Bacteria Control

We target harmful bacteria like E. coli, supporting efforts  to ensure healthier water for swimmers and safer lakes for your community.

Swimmer’s Itch Prevention

We target swimmer’s itch at its source, making lake water more comfortable and enjoyable for residents, visitors, and families.

The Evolution of Oxybot

Cause-Oriented Remediation

Rather than merely focusing on the visible symptoms of algal blooms, Oxybot robotics work to neutralize the root cause by destroying the buoyant, ascending springtime filaments and vesicles responsible for initiating blooms. Alongside this deep-acting intervention, Oxybot’s integrated nutrient-stripping system removes excess phosphorus from the water, depriving algae of the fuel needed for future outbreaks and helping restore lasting lake balance.

Oxybot: Unlocking the Hidden Engine of Planetary Decarbonization

Beneath the calm surface of our lakes lies one of Earth’s most powerful—yet most underestimated—climate engines. When oxygen falls and phosphorus rises, a biological time bomb ignites methane surges upward, algae take over, and ecosystems spiral into collapse. Oxybot was created to interrupt that ancient cycle and restore nature’s balance where it begins—in the water’s invisible chemistry.

Oxybot is not just a lake robot. It is a precision climate instrument that transforms stagnant, low‑oxygen basins into thriving carbon sinks. By lifting dissolved oxygen through nanobubble aeration and simultaneously extracting phosphorus at the molecular level, Oxybot dismantles the chemical drivers of methane release and algal dominance in one synchronized operation.

Each Oxybot deployment flips the metabolic switch of a lake—from methane producer to methane consumer. As oxygen rises, beneficial microbes awaken. Methanotrophic communities devour methane before it escapes to the air. Bound phosphorus stays locked in sediments. Clarity returns. The lake begins to breathe again.

Where dredges and chemicals fail, Oxybot works autonomously and intelligently. Its AI‑directed oxygen and circulation cycles target early warning signs of anoxia, preemptively restoring balance before crises form. The result is a self‑healing aquatic system that repairs rather than reacts.

This isn’t the distant future—it’s the easiest victory left on the climate battlefield.
While industries spend billions chasing carbon capture in the sky, Ion Works and Oxybot are capturing it at the source—below the surface—where methane was born.

In a single season, Oxybots can transform a lake from a greenhouse emitter into a stable oxygenated ecosystem, achieving what environmental scientists call “the lowest‑hanging climate fruit” on Earth: large‑scale methane suppression, achieved naturally, efficiently, and beautifully.
