For the safe and long-term control of algae and algal blooms in all types of water bodies.
How It Works
1. The ultrasound creates a sound layer in the top layer of the water.
2. The ultrasound affects the buoyancy of the algae, fixing them in the water column.
3. Due to a lack of sunlight and nutrients, the algae will die and sink to the bottom of the water body.
4. The algae are degraded by the beneficial bacteria present.

Why is it Important to Control Algae Growth?
Algal blooms cause a reduced light penetration, depletion of oxygen, and release of toxins from the algae, which are unfavourable conditions for fish and plants. Ultrasonic™ technology contributes to a healthy ecosystem by controlling the algae growth. Reduced levels of algae leads to increased water clarity allowing more light to enter the water column favouring plant growth and increasing oxygen levels.
Why does ultrasound impact algae bouyancy?
Planktonic algae rely on their buoyancy to obtain sufficient sunlight at the water surface. Some do this through synthesis of gas vesicles, while others use the presence of lipids within the cell to regulate their buoyancy.
This disruption to their buoyancy prevents them from performing photosynthesis, and creates free space for beneficial aquatic organisms to occupy.
Specifically, blue-green algae travel up and down the water column; they go to the surface to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis and to the bottom for nutrients. Ultrasonic ultrasound fixes the algae in the water column, preventing them from making these movements and restricting their metabolic activities. By doing this, water quality parameters improve, such as pH and light penetration, allowing other aquatic organisms such as benthic plants to regrow and absorb nutrients.
