Ultrasonic Algae Control

Spartan Environmental Technologies is an authorized dealer for AlgaeControl.US.  AlgaeControl.us is the US distributor
for
LG Sonic of Holland and a supplier of other pond management products.

Ultra sound, such as that provided by the LG Sonic systems, can be an important part of an algae control program for any
body of water.  It is important to note, however, that not all species of algae respond to ultra sound.  
In addition, to be
effective the pond should be properly aerated and have a good balance helpful bacteria to consume nutrients that the
algae are using for a food source.  Besides the ultra sound systems, AlgaeControl.US offers a free algae analysis for your
pond to see if it is populated with ultra sound resistant species of algae.  AlgaeControl.US can provide a healthy bacteria
for your pond, aeration systems and other useful and
Eco friendly pond management products.  Ultra sound systems can
also help with algae and biofilm control in
cooling water systems and clarifiers found in both drinking water and wastewater
treatment plants.

If you have problems with algae in your pond,lake or reservoir the LG Sonic system can help.  Call us toll free at
800-492-

and let us solve your algae problem.  For information on specific LG Sonic products, go to our Algae Control
Product Page.  Below is more information on the history of LG Sonic, benefits of ultra sonic algae control and how the LG
Sonic System works.

History of Ultra Sonic Controls Algae

The discovery that ultrasound waves in water kill algae was made over sixty
years ago in submarine sonar experiments.  The LG Sound Company
in Holland has been perfecting the application of this technology for seven
years so that now everyone can benefit from this non-chemical approach
to eliminating algae.

Benefits include:

  • Chemical-Free! Environmentally safe; EPA Registered: 075641-NLD-001
  • Kills algae: blue-green toxic, green, black, string, filamentous, yellow, etc.
  • Kills root parasitic fungi like Pythium and Fusarium(in water)
  • Does not harm humans, animals, fish or plants
  • Reduces chlorine use in swimming pools, drastically
  • Removes bio-film: Boat hulls, swimming pools, tanks, etc.
  • Low power consumption (from 20 to 45 watts)
  • Virtually maintenance free (wipe off the transducer face occasionally)
  • No moving parts, No filters to clean, No bulbs to replace
  • State of the art electronics signal transmitter
  • Transducer made in USA "exclusively" for LG Sound products
  • Easy to install (GFCI outlet on 120 volt household current)
  • 2 year manufacturer's service warranty
  • Affordable pricing and saves you time so you may enjoy your water!

More about the transducer:

The ultrasonic transducers (underwater speaker part of the unit) have the widest output scope (176º) and range (up to
150 meters for roaming algae and up to 400 meters for blue-green algae) making it the most effective ultrasonic
transducer in this field. LG Sound has the exclusive worldwide sales rights for this valuable part of the LG Sonic family of
sonic products so you will not find it in any other device of this type.

How it works:

The complex pattern of ultrasonic vibrations through the water causes the algae vacuole cell wall to resonate and break,
much like a glass breaking from a high pitched sound. The broken vacuole wall eliminates its ability to grow and
reproduce, while the same vibrations are harmless to humans, animals, fish and aquatic plants. Now your water systems
will become clearer and healthier from destruction of algae and other certain root-parasitic fungi without having to apply
environmentally harmful chlorine or any other chemicals for this purpose.

It is important to note that ultra sound alone might not be enough to solve all of the problems associated with a pond or
lake.  Even if the algae is killed, the pond might not contain enough bacteria or oxygen to break down the organic matter
found in the water, including the algae killed by the LG sonic system.  AlgaeControl.US brings more than the LG Sonic
product to the market.  The president, a biologist by training, has more than 19 years of experience managing ponds.  His
experience combined with the free algae analysis we provide will result in important recommendations for improving your
ponds health in a safe and environmentally friendly matter.

One final word about what the use of ultra sound will not do.  There has been some concerns regarding the killing of
algae with ultra sound and the release of chemicals that could cause taste or odor problems with the water.  This is not
the case.  You can learn more about this subject by downloading the white paper

Hutchinson, VP of Engineering and Water Works for Algae Control US.
