The Water Trifecta - South Santee Aquaculture, Inc. Methodology

South Santee Aquaculture, Inc./AlgaeControl.US subscribes to a philosophy we call the Water Trifecta^©.  It not only attacks the problem of algae, but more importantly it addresses the underlying problem for most ponds that is caused by the build up of nutrients and stagnated water beneath the thermocline.  Beneath the thermocline there are oxygen levels that do not support aquatic life and where anaerobic bacteria thrive, especially in the warmer summer months.  These bacteria consume bio-matter and release phosphates as part of their digestion process.  The increased phosphate levels they generate in turn drive algae blooms.  The combined work of the anaerobic bacteria and blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) produce organic chemicals such as Methyl Isoborneol (MIB), Geosmin, and Beta-Cyclocitral that result in taste and odor issues.  In aquaculture facilities, these same chemicals causing the taste and odors can also cause off-flavor fish (an earthy, muddy taste).

Many ponds arrive at this condition due to the overuse of copper algaecides, which have their place, but when overused cause bacterial death in the sediment.  This causes the build up of nutrients to accelerate.  Eventually, the bacterial population recovers and the release of the phosphates occurs as previously discussed.   What results is the beginning of a perpetual cycle. There is merit to the saying that once you start to use copper to control algae; you will always have to use it.  The Water Trifecta^© works to reverse this by subscribing aeration, beneficial aerobic bacteria and ultrasound to prevent algae blooms from occurring.

Saltwater Ultrasonic Algae Control

We often get questions about how the ultrasonic technology works in marine or saltwater applications.  We recently got the note below from Rick Eager, Senior Fisheries Biologist at Swimming Rock Fish & Shrimp Farm.

Dear AlgaeControl.US,

Just a short note to let you know how well the sonic unit took care of my shrimp ponds algae crash cycle.  Stopped It Dead!


My shrimp pond in late August/September was cycling between green algae blooms and crashes every 8-10 days depending on sunlight input.  I started the ultrasonic unit after the crash and the pond never bloomed again. Great!  The shrimp grew well.  My saltwater salinity was about 24 ppt.  So if folks ask if ultrasound works in saltwater, the answer is Definitely!


My best,
Rick Eager

We have other applications done in marine environments as well, but this is the latest testimonial to the effectiveness of the ultrasonic technology in these types of water systems.

AlgaeControl.US Has a Whole New Look!

We are excited to announce that AlgaeControl.US website has a whole new look and feel. With tons more algae research information and updated products from Sonic Solutions, we hope you enjoy the new website. Be sure to contact us with any information or feedback that you may have.

Testimonials for Sonic Solutions Effectiveness

Testimonials to Sonic Solutions Effectiveness

Golf Course

"We installed one of your Sonic Solutions ultrasonic algae eliminators in our largest pond...we discontinued the use of chemical algaecides in that pond. Within a week or two after start up, the algae in the pond died. Since then, the pond has remained algae free. During this same period, we continued to treat our other ponds with the usual algaecides. It’s fantastic that your Sonic Solutions unit has kept the pond on the 13th the cleanest of our six ponds and has done so without the use of any chemical algaecides. I would be happy to provide a reference to any potential Sonic Solutions customers. I am very pleased that the Sonic Solutions unit offers us a way to kill algae, and prevent its return, without chemicals." Michael Jr. Rohwer Golf Course Superintendent Shadowridge Country Club, Vista, CA

Waste Water Treatment Plant
	“Crikey, Sonic Solutions not only cleaned up the blue green algae, it also cleaned up the shells of the turtles in the pond!” Col Stanger Supervisor of Wastewater Treatment Calliope Shire Central Queensland, Australia

Marina

"On the 25th of July we installed a SonicSolutions model SS-500 in our dock area. After just over two weeks the results in the immediate area were extraordinary with areas further out taking somewhat longer but achieving the same result. The SonicSolution system eliminated the algae while causing no harm to any of the fish and other wildlife in the area tested and our club was very pleased with the results." Michael Kellstrand Member, Willow Bank Yacht Club

Botanical Garden

"In 2001 at Winterthur, An American Country Estate, we tested and subsequently purchased two SonicSolutions units for use in our irrigation pond and pump house tank. The result has been a great reduction in algae and the need for application of algaecides. The SonicSolutions units have performed well in controlling algae and have proved cost effective compared to the labor and chemical costs of our previous algae control efforts. Thank you SonicSolutions!" Marlin Dise, Horticultural Maintenance Supervisor James Smith, Horticultural Supervisor Winterthur, An American Country Estate Winterthur, Delaware

Golf Resort
	"I installed the SonicSolutions units when my ponds already had algae in them. I was completely surprised how quickly they killed the algae and helped to significantly lower my chlorophyll levels! Being in the warm climate of Puerto Rico, I wasn't sure they would work for me, but they succeeded far beyond my expectations!" Gonzalo Vargas Coco Beach Golf Resort Rio Grande, Puerto Rico

Country Club
Wildwood Country Club, Louisville, KY

Country Club
		"Matt Ceplo, the course superintendent, installed the Sonic Solutions Model SS 500, took the photographs of the algae in the pond and waited for the results." "The 'machine' is working! I couldn't swear it took care of the algae problem all by itself, but the pond sure looks better." Matt Ceplo Golf Course Superintendent Rockland Country Club, Rockland, NY
