Safe for Fish, Plants, Pets, People and Planet!
Ultra Sonic Algae Control Systems are a great way to control algae in water features and ponds up to three acres
Coverage Area: Up to 16'X32'
*Provides up to 10 years of control with a single purchase
*Operates on pennies a day!
*Effective in controlling Chara, filamentous algae, planktonic algae and oscillatoria blue-green algae
*No negative impacts on the environment
*Safe for Swimming Areas
*Legal in States where Chemicals are Prohibited!
*2 year warranty
How it works:
In the most basic terms, the algae cells get shaken to bits! In more detailed terms, the control box of the ultrasound system has a micro chip that digitally generates a range of ultrasound frequencies. The transducer (under the water) then emits these frequencies as a series of pulses five times per second. As these pulses strike the algae cells start to oscillate. The cells reach a point where they burst, much like a opera singer smashing a wine glass on the right note!
Not only will ultrasound kill algae but it also eliminates "biofilm". This is the slime that can be found on submerged surfaces (ie. rocks, liners, etc.) Over time algae grows on the biofilm. Ultrasound waves prevent biofilm as well as water-borne pathogens such as E. coli.
The ultrasound waves emitted are absorbed as they travel through the water. They become weaker the farther they travel from the transducer. As a result, easy to control algae types can be controlled far out into the pond while harder to control strains, like Chara, will be controlled at close ranges but not as well at greater distances.
The initial purchases price of Ultra Sonic Algae Control may be higher than some chemicals for controlling algae, however the increasing cost of chemicals along with new regulatory requirements make these Ultra Sonic units a great control method. Divide the cost of an ultrasound unit by ten (approx. life span in years) and the cost per year is very comparable to chemical algae control. Not using chemicals is better for the environment and easier for you. Simply install it, plug it in and you're done- no maintenance!
It is important that the transducer is located in the proper location of the pond. Islands, bays, and other obstacles in the pond will limit the effectiveness of the unit; see the diagram above for positioning ideas.
We offer Ultra Sonic Algae Control Systems that cover areas up to 3 acres, give us a call for a price quote.
Floats and 30' extension cords are extra accessories that can be purchased below.
