Algal and cyanobacterial blooms that impact our water, including water that people use for drinking or recreation, are becoming a prominent threat to today’s water resources. Harmful blooms tend to form in warm water with high levels of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus. According to the CDC, cyanobacterial blooms have been found in freshwater bodies in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and are found all over the world. As a result, in an attempted response to address this threat, the global market for harmful algaecides is $3 Billion and growing at a 6% CAGR. WaterIQ Technologies provides non-chemical ultrasonic algae remediation solutions that eliminate most species of harmful algae from water bodies within one to two weeks without causing harm to other forms of life.

The technically-advanced WaterIQ ultrasonic solutions provide the industry’s widest range of ultrasonic frequencies (more than 2,000) for maximum effect and advanced Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technology for real-time data capture of critical system and water quality data. Additionally, its use of advanced materials, such as SharkletTM technology, enables effective long duty cycles and uninterrupted field usage.

WaterIQ Technologies combines world-class go-to-market engagement, technical expertise, innovative technology, and business processes to sustainably address the world’s growing algae crisis. The company works closely with reseller partners to eradicate dangerous algae growth, in a variety of markets, including drinking water utilities, wastewater treatment plants, general agriculture, golf courses, lakes and ponds, industrial, and HOAs.
