RPE liners are generally designed not to affect water quality or algae growth in algae farming. They provide a smooth, impermeable surface that helps prevent contamination from external sources, which can promote a cleaner growing environment for algae. RPE liners are resistant to UV degradation, which helps maintain the integrity of the pond and limits the risk of harmful chemical leaching into the water.
When properly installed, they minimize water loss due to leakage and reduce the likelihood of unwanted algae species or pests entering the system. However, if the liners are not correctly maintained or if the material deteriorates, they could potentially release chemicals that might impact water quality or interfere with algae growth.
