Aquascape IonGen Algae Control
IonGen algae control with the right water monitoring
IonGen uses an ion-producing probe and electronic controller to help control algae in suitable water features. It is not a mechanical filter, and it should not be treated as a fit-and-forget substitute for pond maintenance. Choose the correct system generation and follow its water-chemistry and monitoring requirements.
Is IonGen chemical-free?
That would be a misleading shorthand: the system releases metal ions into the water. Its operating limits and testing requirements are important even though it does not use a conventional bottle of liquid algae treatment.
Understand what you are installing
The probe releases copper ions. Suitable operation therefore depends on water conditions, flow past the probe and the instructions for the precise system. Keep the control panel and replaceable probe accessible, and distinguish a complete system from a probe, chamber or controller sold separately.
Test and adjust rather than running blindly
The manufacturer requires copper and alkalinity monitoring. Follow the current manual’s limits and adjustment procedure, including seasonal shutdown guidance where applicable. Reduced algae does not remove the need to clear collected debris or maintain the rest of the pond filtration.
Will any replacement probe fit?
No. Match the system generation and manufacturer reference before ordering. A replacement probe is not a complete controller and flow-chamber kit.
