Ronconi Acquisitions LLC was recently granted a Utility Patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The patent is for a portable ultrasonic descaling device, which has applications in the commercial and residential pool, spa and marine industries. The inventor, Dr. Bob Ronconi, designed the handheld device that uses ultrasonic cavitation to remove the limescale, stains and calcium deposits that build up at the waterline of pools and spas, or on other surfaces that come in contact with water. He will seek to either license or manufacture the device.

Ronconi has maintained a private dental practice in Fort Dodge since 1984. He is on the board of trustees of the Iowa Dental Association.
