Chemical-free algae control with the LG Sonic e-line
- Integrated Aquawiper for minimal maintenance
- Control algae in ponds and golf course ponds
- Treatment range up to 200m/650ft
How it Works
The LG Sonic e-line is an advanced system that emits specific ultrasonic parameters in order to control algae in smaller water surfaces such as ponds and golf course ponds.
1. Determine Algae Type
The LG Sonic e-line has 12 ultrasonic programs to effectively control different types of algae. Each program contains different types of ultrasonic parameters, such as frequency, amplitude, waveform and signal duration.
2. Generate Ultrasound
The ultrasonic sound waves create an ultrasonic pressure in the top layer of the water. The high-pressure ultrasound transmitted by the LG Sonic e-line controls algae in various ways depending on the type of algae.
3. Control Algae
The algae will die while the cell wall remains intact, preventing the release of toxins from the algae into the water. The algae will sink to the bottom of the water reservoir and are degraded by the bacteria present.
Algae Control Benefits
Safe for the environment
The ultrasound used by LG Sonic is safe for fish, plants, zooplankton, and insects. Our devices make use of low power (5-20 Watts); therefore, no high voltages are transmitted into the water.
No release of toxins
The cell wall of the algae remains intact, preventing the release of toxins from the algae into the water. and status of the devices.
Effective on larger water surfaces
The LG Sonic e-line can efficiently control algae up to 200 meter (650 ft) per device with a power consumption of just 5-40 Watt.
Easy to install and maintain
The LG Sonic devices are being placed in the water body itself, emitting sound waves through your water reservoir.
Advanced Ultrasonic Transmitter
Advanced Ultrasonic Transmitter
- Possible to add 1, 2, or 4 transmitters to one control box for the treatment of multiple tanks or water surfaces with curves.
- Our Chameleon technology makes it possible to transmit different ultrasonic parameters, such as frequency, amplitude, waveform, and signal duration based on the water conditions, type of algae, and type of application.
- The Integrated Aquawiper automatically cleans the transmitter head to prevent damage, which results in an effective treatment and minimal maintenance.
Power cable of 20m/65ft
Power cable of 20m/65ft
Extension possible.
Weatherproof Control Box
Weatherproof Control Box
- Weatherproof design to protect against outdoor conditions.
- LCD display with control buttons to select 12 different ultrasonic programs.
- GSM/GPRS control allows the user to monitor and change the ultrasound program remotely, receiving status updates and alerts when power outages occur.
Easy Installation and Maintenance
The LG Sonic e-line has a range up to 200 meters and can be installed in the pond itself. The device can be connected with a cable to a power outlet or can work autonomously on a solar-powered system.
The flexible arm is designed to make the installation of LG Sonic products easier. The arm can be adjusted to fit every application and can be extended up to 20 meters. The flexi-arm has the range to move up and down with the water level and can be connected to the shore.

Applications
-
Reduce biofilm formation - Water and Wastewater - Water Monitoring and Testing
In many industrial or professional applications where water is being stored, biofilm may grow. The growth of biofilm can damage the installations and reduce efficiency of the circuit. A biofilm can grow certain substrates which can be found in water. When temperatures are high, for example in cooling towers, a matrix of different micro- organisms such as bacteria, fungi, algae can grow very rapidly causing the formation of a biofilm on certain surfaces submerge in water. During the formation of this biofilm, ...
