LG Sonic: Algae Control Methods to Prevent Algal Blooms
Published on by Tristen Gunther, Marketing Manager at LG Sonic in Technology
In their latest blog post, LG Sonic team writes about the common control methods used to avert the algae bloom.
Algae control are actions taken to manage algae problems. The long-term management of algae should at least involve reducing nutrient inflow into the water body but it takes a couple of years to make significant progress. This is why this blog post mostly focuses on short-term treatment options.
In this sense, there are four main algae control methods; chemicals, aeration, mixing, and ultrasound. Using the right method will help you to keep a healthy, well-balanced water body. Excessive cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) and green algae growth in lakes and reservoirs can have negative consequences for water quality. The water turns green, sand filters can clog, and some algae can produce geosmins and MIB, giving the water an ‘earthy’ and ‘molty’ taste.
LG Sonic's blog post provides a complete overview of algae growth conditions and four main control methods, including a chemical-free algae solution. You can read it in the link below.
