Ultra Sonic
Algae Control
A
non-chemical approach to eliminating algae using ultrasound waves
 The
ultrasonic algae elimination systems are scientifically designed underwater transducers
that emit ultrasonic waves that can destroy algae under certain conditions in
a variety of basins. Using ultrasonic frequencies to destroy algae is a chemical
free way to reduce or eliminate many common algae including toxic blue green algae
and the biofilm buildup that can cause problems in irrigation systems and large
cooling basins.
Ultrasonic waves, emitted from a transducer suspended from
a discreet float, literally rip the outer cell walls of algae cells inhibiting
their proliferation and maintaining a more sterile environment if that is desired.
By keeping algae at bay there is less buildup on piping, drains and machinery
in water basins and irrigation systems can remain clog free longer.
Ultrasonic
is being found to be useful in typically closed systems that have a long retention
time such as irrigation basins and tanks and cooling towers; the use of ultra-sound
is a technology that is undergoing more and more interest of late as many Canadian
lakes and large ponds are suffering from algae problems.
Ultrasonic algae
killers should not always be considered as a complete replacement for such proven
techniques as aeration and beneficial bacteria which are proven to be not harmful
to humans, animals, plants or fish. Instead it is another tool that, in some cases
in certain conditions, will help to kill or reduce algae problems. Golf courses
and irrigation basins and wastewater holding tanks and reservoirs are ideal candidates
for this inexpensive technology. Contact us for an evaluation.
Sonic
Solutions™
The
small, easy-to-install transducer comes in a variety of sizes to tackle many algae
problems in everything from small and large bodies of water. Units are also available
for use in swimming pools to reduce the use of chlorine, storage tanks and for
industrial basins and mining applications. Solar options are available as are
international wiring configurations.
Available
in various models & sizes
The largest ultrasonic algae control units have a range of approximately 500 feet
(150 meters) and more.
The smallest units have a range of approximately 30
feet (10 meters) and are perfect for small ponds and pools.
Contact
us for sizing and pricing information on the ultrasonic algae control devices
and to determine if ultrasound is a even potential solution to your problems.
Currently, we find that one of the best, most proven algae control system is a
actually combination of aeration and beneficial bacteria but in certain situations
ultrasound can effectively used to maintain algae free conditions and can be combined
with aeration, circulation and beneficial bacteria to ensure a permanent algae
clear pond.

Benefits
of using ultrasound for algae control:
• No harsh chemicals or
toxic products, the ultrasonic devices are relatively innocuous & can be a
safe way to kill algae. Because all living creatures including plants are susceptible
to energy forces that can affect their health ultrasonic algae control may not
be recommended in some natural pond, lakes or watergardens. Before considering
ultrasonic solutions discuss your immediate pond problems with us.
• Simple
to install the unit runs on regular AC electrical current or DC solar power with
no shock risk to swimmers.
• No moving parts or filters to replace the units
are virtually maintenance free. Virtually silent operation.
• Low operating
cost. Using from 20 to 45 watts means effective anti-algae treatment for pennies
a day.
 •
Greatly reduce chlorine use in swimming pools. Ultrasonic systems in pools kills
green & black algae so common in swimming pools.
• Effectively removes
biofilm from boat hulls, swimming pools, storage tanks, etc.
• Kills and controls
blue-green algae, green, black & many other common algae in certain conditions.
•
Affordably priced and a practical solution to eliminate constant applications
of chemical treatments
• Combining ultrasonic algae killers with proper beneficial
bacteria applications greatly improve pond health.
The
concept is relatively simple, the ultrasonic vibrations are emitted by the transducer
directly in the water, and these vibrations destroy the microscopic
cell casing surrounding the algae, know as the vacuole, which kills the algae.

pond problems and accurately choose the correct solution.

CanadianPond.ca
Products Limited
has spent close to a decade testing products to ensure that clients who use our
services are only offered the best available pond products on the market. We are
currently looking at feedback and test date from installations of the sonic algae
systems throughout Canada so we can provide you with more concrete testing data
which is required by our Environmental Groups & Government Departments. As
our testing unfolds we will provide Canadian data on the effectiveness of ultrasound
on algae in our country.
