Here at South Santee Aquaculture, we provide installation and service of fountains, circulators and aerators, pond and lakewater management including aquatic weed control, water aeration systems, fish stocking and algae control. We are presently in our 20th year of business and proud of our accomplishments in water quality management services for the South Carolina coast, working diligently with our local Department of Natural Resources and Wildlife Management Agencies to help protect our tributaries and estuaries.

                                   

Algae control methods do not always give the desired results. For example, mats of filamentous algae may be removed with a rake, screen wire, or similar devices; however this control method is very labor intensive and provides only temporary control. In some instances, the algae may seem to grow as fast as they are removed. Before using chemicals, you should consider potential contamination of domestic water supplies and the waiting periods for watering livestock, eating fish, swimming and irrigation. In general, you must have a license to dispense many of the chemicals used as algaecides.

our Solution

Now there is a better way to control algae. It is environmentally friendly, cost effective and chemical-free. The method is not revolutionary technology. It was discovered decades ago that ultrasound would destroy algae cells. However, at the time of the discovery, ultrasonic wave generators were too costly to make it a marketable product. But today, underwater ultrasonic sound wave generation that is inaudible to and no threat to people, animals, fish or plants is now available and affordable for those who want to get rid of algae and other harmful micro-organisms such as destructive root parasitic fungi, Fusarium and Pythium.
