Case Study: Shallow recreational lake, Sonora, Mexico
In Sonora, Mexico, a shallow recreational lake suffered from a severe algal bloom, with a dense green layer and foul odor due to high nutrient levels in the water. The most abundant species were blue-green algae, known for producing toxins harmful to human and animal health, and green algae. Given the severity of the situation, WaterIQ Technologies, in collaboration with one of our distributors in Mexico, Soluciones Ecológicas del Desierto, implemented a comprehensive solution, which included the installation of a Pulsar 4400 ultrasonic device and the application of beneficial bacteria to reduce nutrient levels in the water.
Over a five-month monitoring period, the results were clear: algae levels dropped significantly, especially Chroococcus, one of the dominant blue-green algae species, which was effectively controlled thanks to the ultrasonic technology.
The results of algae control treatment with WaterIQ Technologies Pulsar 4400 show a significant 75% reduction in total abundance algae populations. Cell counts went from 1,047,180.00 cells/ml in March to 140,460 cells/ml in August.
∘ Chroococcus, one of the dominant species of blue-green algae, which was effectively controlled.
∘ Water clarity increased significantly.
Demonstrating the exceptional impact of the Pulsar 4400, this device effectively regulates algal populations without using chemicals. By significantly reducing the abundance of different algae species, it plays a crucial role in enhancing water quality and restoring ecological balance in aquatic ecosystems.
