Hollow Plastic Ball Covers for Wastewater Ponds & Lagoons
The challenge
- Odor and H₂S complaints from neighbors and regulators
- VOC emissions and the compliance pressure they create
- Algae and cyanobacteria blooms in open basins
- Costly or short-lived mechanical and membrane covers
How Armor Ball® helps
A poured-on 91% layer of Armor Ball® acts as a physical barrier over the liquid surface, suppressing odor, H₂S, and VOC release while blocking the sunlight that drives algae growth. The HDPE balls are inert across pH 2–13, install without draining the basin, and move aside for equipment access then re-cover automatically.

FAQ
Wastewater Treatment — questions answered
Will a floating ball cover reduce odor on a wastewater lagoon?
Yes. A dense 91% Armor Ball® layer forms a physical barrier over the liquid surface that suppresses odor, H₂S, and VOC emissions rising off a wastewater lagoon, easing nuisance complaints and compliance pressure.
Are the balls compatible with wastewater chemistry?
Armor Ball® is molded from UV-stabilized HDPE that is inert to most industrial liquids across pH 2–13, making it well suited to wastewater treatment ponds and lagoons.
Can I install a ball cover without taking the basin offline?
Yes. Armor Ball® pours directly onto the existing liquid surface with no draining, anchoring, or liner penetration, so the basin stays in service during install.
