Zebra Mussel Protection for Lake Pumps

The Zebra Mussel Problem in Texas Lakes

Zebra mussels have invaded Lake Travis and Lake Austin. These tiny invasive species can completely clog pump intakes, damage impellers, and destroy expensive equipment in a matter of months if left unchecked.

How We Protect Your System

1. Custom Stainless Steel Racks

We build heavy-duty, elevated racks that keep your pump intake several feet off the lake bottom — where mussels are less likely to attach.

2. Protective Intake Screens

Special high-flow screens with anti-fouling coatings prevent mussels from entering the system while maintaining excellent water flow.

3. Regular Maintenance Plans

We offer scheduled inspections and cleanings to catch any early mussel buildup before it becomes a problem.

Don’t Let Zebra Mussels Destroy Your Pump

ATX Pumps & Filtration has years of experience protecting lake pump systems from zebra mussels in Central Texas. We install systems that are built to last — even in infested waters.
