Control algae growth The proliferation of algae and noxious weeds in water reserves is a recurring problem, which reduces the quality of stagnant water and obstructs drains, pipes, irrigation systems and all types of conduits, apart from posing a high cost in chemical treatments. As is well known, the development of all types of algae and other photosynthetic organisms is directly linked to their exposure to sunlight, which allows them to generate carbohydrates and oxygen, through photosynthesis, thus allowing their proliferation. Some algae contain toxic properties that can pose a risk to the flora and fauna in contact with the water, and their control is essential in wastewater treatment plants and drinking water collectors. The modular floating cover system Spheres represents an effective solution to this problem, blocking the impact of UV rays. Thanks to an optimal coverage of up to 94% of any water mass´surface, adapting to all kinds of complex contours and different water levels, the Hexaballs system reduces the algae growth in a remarkable way. This directly saves on the use of chemicals and considerably improves water quality. Being its application exclusive for artificial water tanks, the Floating modular system, works in a parallel way as a deterrent for birds and other animals that could be attracted by the free access to the water.
