1. It is now possible to prevent the bloom of algae in your pond irrigation reservoir lake fountain cooling towers etc without the need for chemical products SPEL ultrasonic equipment will ensure the bloom is eliminated in the most sustainable method possible It is easy to install All you need to do is float the device in the water and connect it to a power source or solar panel e Ecological e Non toxic e Causes no harm to humans animals and plants e Environmental no need for chemical products e No need for maintenance e Easy to install e 24 7 service e Low power consumption SWIMMING POOLS Operating principles The ultrasonic transmitter produces a high frequency mechanical vibration in the water which reverberates throughout the pond at great distances due to the capacity of water to transmit sound vibration Ultrasonic signals are emitted in pulse waves of variable shape and duration at frequencies ranging from 20kHz to 60khz The algae cannot tolerate this vibration It prevents them from reproducing and destroys them Other organisms including bacteria are also broken down resulting in clearer and higher quality water Superior animals such as fish reptiles amphibians and birds are not affected Quite the opposite the absence of chemical products means the wildlife leads to healthier existence and gains up to 20 in weight Prevention of cellular growth by means of ultrasonic

3. anges in the different geographic regions Installation and operating capacity The operating capacity ofthe SPEL Algacleaner depends on the semi circular surface area swept by the acoustic signal emitted by the equipment The surface area is comprised of an angle of around 168 and a range radius that depends on the geographic region displayed in the map below with an estimated average range of 100 Meteo The equipment should be installed with the aim of covering the greatest surface area possible In the event of doubt with regard to irregular geometry or such we advise you to contact SPEL A special accessory is provided for anchoring the equipment Algae can evolve as a result of the intensity of solar radiation the number of hours of sunlight the nutrients contained in the water used to Till the pond the nutrients brought by the wind and the animals and birds that frequent the same and also if the sides of the pond are made of plastic or earth and contain plants In certain cases It may be advisable to use both an ultrasonic and a conventional system albeit on a lesser scale than usual Components of the system A An ultrasonic transmitter attached to a float is placed under the surface of the water B An ultrasonic electronic generator to activate the transmitter is installed out of the water powered by a 230 V mains circuit or a solar panel C A 20 metre cable connecting the transmitter and

7. pulsation The growth of algae fungi protozoa and other eukaryotic aquatic microorganisms is basically a result of cellular reproduction This process known as mitosis enables the cells to equally distribute their genetic material DNA among the two daughter cells This event can be observed under a microscope and consists of a dark thick string shaped material resembling wool chromosomes the carriers of the DNA which settles in the centre of the cell and then splits and moves to opposite sides The cell membrane then constricts and separates the mother cell into two daughter cells This process whereby the chromosomes separate and move to opposite sides of the cell is called anaphase and is mediated by fibres know as microtubules which assemble from the sides to the centre of the chromosomes When all the chromosomes are attached to the microtubules the signal is given to proceed to the state of anaphase where the chromosomes are dragged to the sides by these fibres Any disturbance whatsoever will destabilize the microtubule chain the cellular cycle and prevent the cells from multiplying This is how the ultrasonic pulses disrupt the polymerisation of the microtubules thereby stemming cellular growth Map of range The SPEL Algacleaner is the most powerful equipment on the market Depending on the region it has a range of between 50 and 350 metres The depth of the pond is irrelevant This map is a guide to the operating r
8. the emission point Can the equipment be left in the water in freezing weather If the equipment has been correctly installed being enclosed in ice will not cause any damage Can the SPEL Algacleaner be turned off in winter No The equipment should be used during the winter too At this time of the year there is a slight bloom of algae even under ice If this alga is not treated the possibility of a substantial increase in the amount of algae in the spring is very high We can significantly reduce use during the colder and darker time of the year by using a timer However the equipment should operate for at least 4 hours a day The SPEL Algacleaner won t need to be used whilst we are carrying out maintenance work on the pond Can the equipment be taken out of the water and turned off NEVER TAKE YOUR SPEL ALGACLEANER OUT OF THE WATER BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE EQUIPMENT In the event of a temporary interruption the SPEL Algacleaner should be placed in a dry and well aired place in order to avoid condensation of the electronic components due to the humid outside air What is the average service life of the SPEL Algacleaner The electronic components are not subject to wear and tear and will last for a considerable time in dry conditions The estimated service life of the transmitter is 8 to 10 years The transmitter cable is too short Can I extend it myself We do not recommend extending the cable as
9. this may result in a significant reduction in power if original Toscano extensions are not used Furthermore the guarantee loses its validity when the user meddles with the cable and other components of the SPEL Algacleaner We recommend using the 20 metre extension kit Can the treatment be applied in flowing water or wastewater The treatment requires a minimum retention of water and is not recommended for flowing water only if the water is being recirculated fountains and such With regard to use in wastewater equipment installed in ornamental ponds with water from purifying plants has proven to be highly successful The range may not be as great in these cases reason for which we recommend increasing the number of devices What are the advantages compared to an aerator There are three The first is a greater operating radius as an aerator only affects the surface and area where the water is being recirculated whereas the ultrasonic pulses of the SPEL Algacleaner reach the extremities of the pond the speed of sound in water is 1 500m JSs The second advantage is less consumption of electricity average consumption 53W whereas aerators consume more energy 1 000 to 3 000W and often require the assistance of a submerged agitator to maintain underwater recirculation The third advantage is that the SPEL Algacleaner produces no noise and requires no maintenance as it operates in a fixed position Is
