Benefits
Our advanced ultrasonic algae and biofilm management systems have a variety of amazing benefits.
HBS Algal management systems not only reduce algae in water environments but they assist you in many other areas that are greatly beneficial to the environment, community, and personal wellbeing. Here are several of the additional benefits you gain from incorporating HBS systems into your water management toolbox.
HBS Systems easily save you money.
With single, one time purchase systems, being reusable over many algae bloom cycles and with these units coming in at thousands of dollars less than chemical algaecide applications, there will be more money in your account for other projects.
HBS systems save you time.
ALL HBS systems are easily installed by 1-2 people and can be set up in 30 minutes. Maintenance includes checking on the operational condition, which can now be done remotely with our latest wireless advancements and phone application, and depending on the condition of your water, a monthly wipe-down of the transducer unit. Spend the extra time doing things you love.
HBS Systems contribute to healthy livestock
By mitigating against cyanobacteria and other biofilm and bactria in your livestock’s water source, HBS technology helps keep your livestock healthy and free from the diseases that are associated with polluted drinking water.
HBS Systems make fish taste better
By keeping geosmin levels low, HBS technology ensures that the fish you bring to market taste fresh. It is high geosmin and it’s “earthy” odor that make fish taste like mud. Keeping the water clear from this keeps fish healthier and more desirable in the fish market.
HBS systems reduce water odor
The mitigation against not only algae but also against a host of other agents that proliferate when biofilm is present, HBS technogy has a proven track record of reducing odors in water. This benefit is one that we hear about often from water managers that use our systems in drinking water sources.
HBS systems reduce water turbidity
HBS Technology helps to keep Total Suspended Solids levels down. No-one likes a glass of water that is murky. This discoloration is an immediate indicator of both odor and bad taste and will generally point to an overloading of potentially harmful bacteria.
HBS systems make water taste better
By keeping water clear of bacteria, algae, and thus the associate odors, water that has been treated with HBS technology tastes more like, water.
HBS systems help keep water pH neutral
It is important that drinking water and common household usage water be in the pH neutral level of 6.5 – 8.5 and in the environment, pH levels need to remain constant within a certain range. Any slight change moving in the direction of too high – too low can decimate entire populations of aquatic life. HBS technology helps keep those pH levels right where you want and need them.
HBS systems reduce or eliminate chemical applications
HBS systems DIRCTLY affect the need for the use of chemicals in water management strategies and in many applications our technology has ELIMINATED long standing uses of chemicals like chlorine and Copper Sulfate (algaecide). While we understand that in many situations certain chemicals MUST be used, HBS technology can GREATLY affect the amount and frequency of application. From experience, we’ve learned that the longer our systems are in use, the less chemicals you will need to use.
HBS systems reduce biofouling
The safe, ultrasonic frequencies that HBS technology broadcasts create tiny ripples (not visible to the eye) in the water. These ripples are seen as turbulence by biofouling agents and thus those agents will not attempt to “cling” to anything where this ripple is present. HBS technology can work to help keep intake pipes, boat hulls, and other structures more free from things like barnacles, mussels, and slime.
HBS systems give you longer filter life
In any application where water filtering is a necessity, HBS systems extend filter life by keeping your water free from the fouling agents that reduce filter life. Often, these filters are very expensive. HBS systems help you get the most out of your investment in filtrations systems and keep the maintenance lower.
HBS systems reduce or eliminate chlorine usage
HBS systems have been used to keep pools more free from the agents that chlorine is used to mitigate against. Chlorine is a poison and elongated exposure to it is very bad. By eliminating or greatly reducing it’s use in pools, HBS systems save you the chemical costs and the worry associated with chlorine application and the many cancers that this chemical has been linked to.
HBS systems contribute to your overall health
By providing a variety of benefits from money savings, time savings, reduced chemicals in our environment and providing for cleaner water, HBS systems do much of the work that eventually leads to lower stress levels and a cleaner environment. Spend more time with your family and your passions with the money, time and health you now enjoy from HBS technology.
HBS systems leave no negative footprint
With our solar powered options, our easily powered, low current demand, management systems operate freely from the power of the sun. Absolutely ZERO fossil fuels need expenditure in order to safely manage algae and biofouling with HBS proprietary technology.
Algae Control Requires A Proactive Approach With Continued Maintenance
Letting “nature take its course” is rarely, if ever, the best approach when dealing with toxic algae blooms. The development of green and blue-green algae on the surfaces of bodies of water can be harmful to humans, animals, and intricate aquatic ecosystems. It is necessary to intervene on nature’s behalf when these serious issues arise. With algae control products from Hydro BioScience, you can make that intervention without doing additional harm.
We feature lines of ultrasound equipment that allow you to disrupt and neutralize the toxic growth of algae by sending ultrasonic waves (SPLs) through the water-a process that leaves fish and other life unharmed but prevents algae and biofilm from reducing the quality and safety of your water environments.
Easy to install and maintain
Our environmentally-friendly algae control systems use ultrasonic sound waves to disable most blue-green and green algal growth cycles and prohibit biofilm growth—no chemicals required. In source water applications, they reduce the potential for harmful algal blooms; help increase filter run times; reduce chlorine usage, THMs and HAAs; and improve water taste and odor. In wastewater treatment lagoons, they help maintain healthy Dissolved oxygen levels to ensure adequate treatment and prevent odor problems and high TSS.
Transducer system Options
Quattro-DB® algae control transducers emit multiple ultrasonic frequencies and provide 360° coverage with just one transducer. Range of coverage depends on algae type: blue-green algae, up to 120 surface acres; green algae, up to 17 surface acres; biofilm and diatoms, up to 2.8 surface acres per transducer.
Mezzo-DB™ transducers use two frequency ranges: one for green algae and the other for blue-green algae. They emit ultrasonic waves to the front and behind the transducer, covering 75 meters in each direction-ideal for narrow bodies of water. Transducers include: warning/position flag, buoy and chain. 3-year warranty.
Power Supply Options
Choose from AC power or solar power. Both are safe, low-current options and feature a 3-year warranty. AC power supply systems accept 85-264 VAC and feature a North American-style plug (other plug styles are available). Controllers power up to two algae control transducers. Solar power panels/controllers power two or more algae control transducers. Choose from land- or water-based options. Land-based systems include a vertical array of solar panels and a solar controller. Water-based systems include a SolaRaft™ solar pontoon, solar controller, warning flag and navigation beacon.
