Someone just stopped by the house and gave me a flyer for a device that supposedly kills algae with ultrasonic sound; only $999

Ok let's say it does, for discussion pursposes only. Algae is unsightly but harmless.

What are you going to do about being sanitary ? If you're going to use chlorine to properly kill any bacteria, viruses, etc, then algae can't grow anyway.

At best, these devices or secondary sanitizing systems are an expensive redundancy. Most don't even do a fraction of what they claim to.

Just another scam product like ionizers and magnets.

Probably about as effective as a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser in the skimmer or an old shoe full of rocks.

Garrett Stigall, the founder of Pool Protection Technologies, will be featured on the upcoming season of The Blox.


 
And what's nice is they teach slamming and even give us credit.

It'll come in handy when following their methods or using the placebo device. :ROFLMAO:

Lots of claims with zero actual proof that the products work.

Product sellers with endless specious claims selling products that are pretty much worthless.





 
"SAM emits precision ultrasonic waves that hit algae cells at just the right wavelength that cause them to rupture and explode due to a property known as resonance, which is very similar to the way an opera singer hits the right note, and shatters a glass."


Despite this, a number of ultrasonic devices, broadly similar in appearance and functionality, are now commercialised, supported by claims that optimised and algae-specific treatment programmes developed in-house are the key differentiator against competing products, and constitute the trade secret to collapsing gas vesicles at low frequency, low power and long range.

Unfortunately, scientific validation of the efficacy of these systems is yet to materialise in the form of solid experiments published in peer-reviewed articles, which, hopefully, will replace the numerous testimonies and anecdotal evidence accompanied by “before and after” photographs that can be found in the marketing literature.
