How It Works
ONE.
Simply toss the skimmer into the
water from the bank.
TWO.
The bottom bar will sink and the top bar will float creating a half circle. Pull the skimmer back towards yourself.
THREE.
Grab the four ropes and pull the skimmer out of the water. Dump the weed into a
wheelbarrow for disposal.
Advantages of physical removal
- Removes extra nutrients caused by the breakdown of rotting vegetation thereby reducing the likelihood of future outbreaks.
- A dense coverage consumes a lot of oxygen leaving little left for fish and other aquatic organisms. Avoids fish kills by ensuring adequate oxygen levels remain.
- Removes habitat for breeding mosquitoes.
Adds Advantage to Spray Treatments
- Combining physical removal with an aquatic herbicide treatment can greatly increase the effectiveness of any weed-killers you’re using.
- Easy to use
- Ecologically benign alternative to traditional herbicide treatments
- Specifically designed for Duckweeds
