Control algae the environmentally safe way with SonicSolutions®

SonicSolutions® is the state-of-the-art, ultrasonic algae control device that gets rid of algae without harming other aquatic life. The SonicSolutions® unit floats just below the water's surface and kills algae by producing a precise frequency of ultrasonic waves that disrupts and destroys the cellular functioning and structure of the algae. SonicSolutions® is easy to use and is safe for all fish, plants, and other aquatic life, and it can even help lower pH and TSS. SonicSolutions® is a safer and more cost-effective water treatment than chemical algaecides for pools, reservoirs, fish and farm ponds, lakes, lagoons, tanks, and many other water management applications.

Safe for fish, plants, and other aquatic life.

SonicSolutions Algae Control Unit Specifications

SonicSolutions uses the resonance of the ultrasonic waves to disrupt alga cells. The submerged transducer is programmed to generate ultrasonic waves that are directed at the vacuole of the algae. These waves weaken the cell membranes resulting in a leakage of cytoplasm and a collapse of the cell into a dense brown mass. The cells may remain buoyant for up to 4-5 weeks after exposure, although they are no longer viable.

EPA Registration 074929-MA-001 UL Approved

Device Range Max. Effect Area-Muddy Bottom Max. Effect Area – Hard Bottom
SS 400 350 ft/108 m 50,000 sq.ft./5,000 sq. m. 200,000 sq.ft/20,000 sq. m.
SS 500 500 ft/154 m 100,000 sq.ft/10,000 sq. m. 400,000 sq.ft/40,000 sq. m.

For optimal exposure of the ultrasonic waves in the body of water, place the unit close to the edge of the pond. Sonic waves extend only in front of the transducer unit. Larger installations and certain shapes of ponds or lakes may require installation of more than one unit. Multiple devices can be installed at opposite sides of a lake or pond, or attached together pointing in different directions, depending on the site requirements.
