Muck and Weed Blower Targets Weeds & Muck All Season Long!
Weeds Away – Muck and Weed Blower is made in the U.S.A. and is designed to create a continuous current of water. This current will, move muck, silt, surface, and suspended debris away from wherever it is pointed. This might be your swimming area, dock, marina, pier, or any shallow water areas. Point the unit up toward the surface of the water to maximize surface agitation.
This amazing tool operates in as little as 2 feet of water. The current created by Weeds Away pushes water in one direction up to approximately 70 feet out for the 3/4 hp motor and up to 100 feet out for the 1 hp motor. Preventing fine silt and sediment particles from settling near your swimming area, marina, or near your dock which ultimately forms muck. The motor and mounting options make it easy to install. Use the optional Shallow Water stand if you do not have a dock. Use the optional dock mount with a 1” steel pole (not included) when attaching to a dock or pier. All units come with electrical cords lengths ranging from 25′ to 200′.
Two to three feet is the average operating depth of the blower. This product is compatible with 115V and 230V power sources and comes with power cords of 25, 50, 100, 150, and 200 feet in length. The motor is encased in a stainless-steel housing with a bronze motor facing. It is a very well-built motor.
Motors with cords longer than 150 ft must be 230V. Please call to place your order for motors with 230V.
Know your state’s regulations when it comes to using this product. Some states restrict the use of underwater blowers for sediment redistribution.

How to Use
Use for Muck Removal
If you already have a muck problem just point the unit in the area you want the muck removed from. Once the muck is gone from that spot turn it to the next area. After that, you might need to turn the unit on once a month for maintenance. There is simply no reason to run it all the time in most instances.
Use for Aquatic Weed Removal
Weeds Away with Dock Mount are also very effective in removing debris that accumulates in the water column or near the water surface. If you are unfortunately located where lots of debris blows into your shore, dock, or marina, the blower can be used continuously to maintain a steady current.
Other Uses
Weeds Away can also be used as a surface agitator. The continuous movement breaks the surface of the water repeatedly to bring as much water in contact with the air as possible. The more the water surface mixes with the air the more oxygen is put into the water. The higher the oxygen content the better it is for your lake or pond.
Oxygen helps naturally occurring bacteria break down excess nutrients which will reduce algae and accelerate the breakdown of decaying weeds in lakes and ponds. This will, in turn, reduce muck accumulation. In the winter months, the water movement can prevent ice from accumulating around your boat or dock.
