Transform Stormwater Ponds into Clean and Compliant Assets
Stormwater detention basins no longer have to be sludge traps or algal risk zones. With Hydro Synergy’s low-power Critical Structural Resonance ultrasound, you actively break down suspended solids, collapse nuisance algae, and cut odour at the source, eliminating the need for chemicals or constant dredging. The result is clearer water, lower maintenance bills, and effortless consent compliance every rainy season, so your toughest catchment performs like a well-tuned treatment plant.
How Ultrasound Works in a Stormwater Pond
Hydro Synergy’s ultrasonic unit is placed at a central depth point in the stormwater detention basin. From this position, it emits low-power resonance waves that radiate outward in all directions.
These sound waves disrupt suspended solids, prevent algae from forming surface mats, and break up odour-causing biofilms. Incoming water flows through the pond while the ultrasound keeps solids from settling or compacting, reducing sludge buildup.
As shown in the diagram, inflow and outflow are maintained, while the sediment layer becomes softer and easier to manage, improving both clarity and compliance.
Keeps Suspended Solids in Motion
Ultrasonic energy continuously agitates suspended solids, preventing them from settling and compacting at the bottom of the pond. This helps maintain better water flow and reduces sludge accumulation.
Prevents Algae from Taking Hold
By disrupting algae cell structures at a microscopic level, the ultrasonic field eliminates the conditions needed for blooms to form. This proactive approach reduces surface scum, green water, and the need for chemical dosing.
Breaks Up Odour-Causing Biofilms
Ultrasound breaks apart biofilms that produce unpleasant smells during stagnation or warmer months. This improves air quality around the pond and reduces complaints from nearby communities.
Softens and Deactivates Sludge Layers
Low-frequency waves penetrate the sediment bed, softening compacted sludge and accelerating natural breakdown. This makes the material easier to manage during desludging and reduces long-term buildup.
Operates Continuously Without Manual Intervention
The ultrasonic system runs 24/7 using minimal power and does not require ongoing labour or mechanical cleaning. Once installed, it operates silently and consistently, improving reliability across the seasons.
Operational Readiness for Stormwater
24/7 Autonomous Operation
Units operate around the clock with no manual input required. Once installed, they continuously emit ultrasonic waves to treat water without disruption, supervision, or scheduled downtime.
<60W Power Draw per Unit
Each unit consumes less power than a standard household lightbulb. This allows you to run multiple systems in parallel on mains or solar, with minimal operational cost.
10-Year Equipment Lifespan
Engineered for rugged outdoor conditions, our systems deliver over a decade of field life. The units are sealed, non-corrosive, and require no mechanical servicing.
0 Routine Maintenance Needed
No need for filter changes, moving parts, or consumables. The system is designed for install-and-forget performance, reducing site visits and labour spend.
Compliance & Safety: Six Stormwater-Ready Assurances
Complies with regional discharge limits
Hydro Synergy's ultrasonic solution supports councils in meeting regional discharge regulations by improving clarity and reducing nutrient loads without introducing secondary pollutants.
Safe for urban wildlife and aquatic life
CSR frequencies are non-cavitating and non-lethal, posing no harm to native fish, frogs, birds, or beneficial microorganisms commonly found in stormwater retention ponds.
Operates quietly near residential areas
Units emit no disruptive noise or vibration, making them ideal for stormwater basins located near homes, schools, parks, or community facilities.
Solar-capable for off-grid compliance
Solar-ready designs make it easy to deploy in isolated basins without mains power, eliminating the need for trenching, cabling, or additional infrastructure consent.
No chemical storage or handling required
Ultrasound eliminates the need for copper sulfate, alum, or other dosing agents, which simplifies H&S protocols and removes chemical permitting from the compliance equation.
Remote telemetry ensures traceable performance
Cloud-connected units track power, clarity, and temperature in real time, giving councils audit-ready records to verify treatment efficacy and support seasonal adjustment.
