Ultrasonic technology holds the “keys” for algae elimination at one golf course in a historic Florida town.

Visitors flock to the historic island town of Key West, Florida, to catch some rays, walk in author Ernest Hemingway’s steps – and to channel their inner Jack Nicklaus at the city’s crown jewel, the Key West Golf Club.

Encompassing more than 200 acres of wildlife and nature at the entrance to the island town, the Key West Go

Anyone responsible for a water body knows the battle. Whether it’s an irrigation pond, a golf hazard, or a communal lake, keeping it clean is a perpetual struggle and ceaseless chore. Unfortunately, failing to actively ensure a healthy water ecosystem too often results in an algal bloom that looks disgusting, has a horrible stench, and could even be toxic, in fact, quite harmful.

The battle to keep water bodies clean has traditionally required applying one chemical after another

An Ohio city used to dump tons of copper sulfate into its drinking water reservoirs to kill blue-green and green algae. Ultrasound ended this practice.

Residents of Wilmington, OH, count on the water that flows from their faucets to be safe and crystal clear. But follow those pipes to the city’s two drinking water reservoirs, and the contrast is stark: blooms of harmful blue-green and green algae, clustered atop a water feature that looked more landlocked than a

Blue-green and green algae were choking a major lagoon in one Ontario city. Ultrasound helped where chemicals could not.

Though algae can pose aesthetic concerns and are generally a nuisance, its presence in key water resources can be more than just visually disturbing.

Such was the case in the Canadian province of Ontario, where out-of-control blue-green and green algae in a key supply lagoon were causing an excess of dangerous effluent, and more total suspen

The application of ultrasound is keeping facilities cleaner longer, saving SWU time and money.
One way to set up a municipal water utility is to treat water at the intake and then run it through open basins for conditioning and ultimately filtration. There’s a routine with keeping such installations clean. Biofilms tend to grow on basin walls, then peel off in sheets that gum up the filters – cleaning them is a perpetual chore. Some of the biofilm settles to the basi

As a Lake and Pond Manager, you know that algae makes it hard to maintain clean, safe, and attractive water bodies. Your customers see ugly, smelly slicks, service levels are challenged, and chemical remediation constantly strains your budgets. Chemicals will mitigate algae, but only for a while; algal blooms often bounce back long before it is safe to chemically treat the water again per label directions. How do you continuously combat algae to be sure you have happy customers?

Water Supplier’s Investment in Sound Wave Resonance Replaces Decades of Applying Copper Sulfate in an Open Drinking Water Reservoir
