American Marconi Wireless News - SonicPure Launches 'SonicPure Saves Summer' Initiative to Help Public Water Agencies Combat Harmful Algal Blooms

TORRANCE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / June 25, 2026 / As harmful algal blooms (HABs) continue forcing beach closures, swimming bans, fishing advisories, and recreation shutdowns across the United States, SonicPure today announced the launch of "SonicPure Saves Summer," a nationwide pilot program designed to help qualifying public water agencies evaluate ultrasonic technology for managing harmful algae during the busiest months of the year.

From drinking water reservoirs and recreational lakes to parks, marinas, and community ponds, HABs caused by cyanobacteria are becoming increasingly common across the country. These outbreaks can threaten public health, kill fish and wildlife, disrupt tourism, and increase reliance on chemical treatment programs that are often costly, labor-intensive, and environmentally controversial.

SonicPure's flagship Pulsar 4400 platform uses targeted ultrasonic frequencies designed to disrupt harmful algae and cyanobacteria without copper sulfate, algaecides, or other chemical treatments. Operating continuously, the system is intended to help water managers proactively manage bloom development while maintaining healthier, more usable water bodies throughout the summer recreation season.

"Communities across America are watching their lakes shut down just as summer begins," said Rob Slingerland, President of SonicPure. "Many agencies recognize the problem but don't have the budget, staffing, or time to evaluate new technologies on their own. Through the SonicPure Saves Summer initiative, we want to remove those barriers and demonstrate another approach to managing harmful algal blooms."

Under the initiative, SonicPure will provide selected qualifying state, county, and municipal agencies with cost free pilot deployments of its ultrasonic treatment systems, along with deployment guidance, monitoring support, and technical evaluation throughout the pilot period.

The program is intended for water bodies experiencing recurring HABs, cyanobacteria outbreaks, beach closures, fish kills, or rising chemical treatment costs.

A Growing National Challenge

Across the United States, environmental agencies continue to report increasing frequency and severity of harmful algal blooms driven by warmer temperatures, nutrient loading, drought conditions, and stagnant water conditions.

Recent impacts have included:

• Public beach closures due to toxic cyanobacteria

• Drinking water concerns associated with HAB toxins

• Fish mortality events

• Increasing expenditures on copper sulfate and other chemical treatments

• Lost recreational opportunities and tourism revenue

SonicPure believes proactive ultrasonic treatment may help water managers intervene earlier in bloom development and reduce the severity of outbreaks before widespread closures become necessary.

Proven Across Multiple Water Management Applications

SonicPure's ultrasonic technology has been deployed in drinking water reservoirs, municipal lakes, wastewater facilities, golf course water features, residential lakes, and recreational waterways in the United States and internationally.

Water utilities and lake managers use SonicPure systems to help reduce reliance on chemical algaecides, extend intervals between maintenance activities, improve water clarity, and support long-term water quality management objectives. Because every water body is unique, pilot deployments allow agencies to evaluate system performance under their own environmental conditions using site-specific monitoring and operational data.

Chemical-Free Water Management

Unlike traditional chemical treatment programs, SonicPure systems are designed to operate continuously without introducing additional compounds into the water column.

Applications include:

• Drinking water reservoirs

• Municipal lakes and ponds

• Golf course water features

• Wastewater treatment facilities

• HOA and residential lakes

• Marinas and recreational waterways

• Stormwater retention basins

• Irrigation reservoirs

Pilot Program Applications Now Open

SonicPure is now accepting applications from qualifying organizations, including:

• State water agencies

• County public works departments

• Parks and recreation districts

• Municipal utilities

• Drinking water authorities

• Lake management districts

• HOAs managing public-access lakes

Selected participants may receive:

• Pilot deployment of SonicPure equipment

• Site evaluation assistance

• HAB management consultation

• Monitoring recommendations

• Technical performance evaluation

• Ongoing technical support during the pilot period

Priority consideration will be given to water bodies experiencing active HAB conditions, recurring cyanobacteria outbreaks, seasonal beach closures, fish kills, or escalating chemical treatment costs.

Pilot locations will be evaluated based on factors including water body size, bloom history, dominant algae species, available power or solar deployment options, monitoring capabilities, and the opportunity to demonstrate measurable operational improvements during the pilot period.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis throughout the summer while pilot equipment remains available.
