How do I use the Aquatic Weed Eradicator?

Simply push the Eradicator back and forth on the lake bottom to slice off submerged weeds.

Is the handle durable?

Yes, the handle is made of rust-proof, powder-coated aluminum, ensuring long-lasting use.

Can the Aquatic Weed Eradicator be used alone?

While it can be used alone, it works most effectively in combination with the floating Lake Rake for comprehensive weed removal.

Will this cut landscape grasses along the edge of the pond that have grown too long into a pond about two feet?

Yes. This thing will easily cut grasses or thin brush above or under water. It is VERY sharp, so be careful you don't cut your leg off in the process.

Will this rake take out the moss on the bottom?

I use this rake to 'scour' the bottom. So, yes, this will disrupt the moss by tearing it up. However, I think a rake would be a better choice because the tines of our rake would not only disrupt the moss growth but would also give you a chance to gather it and remove it. Let us know if you need more advice.

Interested in cutting water lilies that obviously float on my water surface. To keep them under control around the shallow edges. Will it work?

I purchased the cutter and rake and they work, but it is very hard and takes a lot of time. If the water gets low enough, I would take a grass trimmer (weedeater) and cut them back. We did this and it was a lot faster and easier.

Does this have holes in the handle to attach a rope?

No holes to attach rope. Sorry.

We were given partial return credit for an item USPS never delivered! How does that work? It says free returns.

Contact the seller and request a prepaid return label. They normally email them to you for you to print on your home printer.

Can this be used in a man made lake? Will it damage the liner?

I would think it would puncture a liner, works great on weeds in our lake though!

Does this unit eradicate cattails in 1/2 acre pond that has fish in it?

Yes! It will eliminate them but it’s a lot of work. Long term solution is to get a five grass carp. I have the same size pond and these grass carp keep my weeds under control.

Will this rake take out pond grasses?

Yes, this rake will take out pond grass. It does it very well! Get the extension handle so you can get out there even further, it's an excellent addition.

Will this work for American pondweed?

If it has a tubular stem, it will work.

I bought this back in 2013. Love it…but it’s time for new blades. How/where can you buy them? Can't find anywhere online.

Have you sharpened them? I sharpen mine with a regular mill file.
