Actual Duckweed and Watermeal examples

Here are some real-life before and after examples

of how the ProSkimmer System solved floating weed problems -- perhaps the kinds of weeds you may want to remove from your lake or pond.  All photos are un-retouched.  Results will vary based on the unique factors that affect each individual watercourse.  Click on photos for a larger view.

Large pond with Watermeal (Oxford, CT)  This lake of more than two acres was covered with a very heavy growth of watermeal – over 1.5 inches thick in some spots. The lake is managed by a local fishing club who were concerned that lack of oxygen was choking out aquatic life. The ProSkimmer System removed the watermeal in about 40 hours of operation over 10 days.

Small pond with Watermeal (Piqua, OH) This small, one-third acre natural ornamental pond suffered from a substantial covering of watermeal. The ProSkimmer System was installed on a Friday afternoon and the watermeal was substantially removed by Sunday evening (as word got around the neighborhood, lawn chairs and a few six-packs appeared on Saturday and Sunday afternoon).

Large, shallow pond with Watermeal and Duckweed (Westport, CT)  This pond of nearly two acres is both shallow and subject to frequent changes in water level. Its primary water inlet is also connected to municipal storm sewers in the area and is surrounded by numerous walnut trees. The ProSkimmer System removed the weeds in 20 days. This pond has benefited from the use of a ProSkimmer System for more than five years, and remains clear throughout the summer season.

Small pond with Duckweed (Fairfield County, CT)  This picturesque pond suffered annual growths of duckweed, although not overwhelming. It is both spring-fed and has a stream running into it. The ProSkimmer System removed the duckweed over a 2 week period of occasional operation, turned on and off by a contractor who was working at the house during that time.

Small pond with Watermeal (Fairfield County, CT)  This more than one-half acre pond was severely impacted by watermeal, even though the owner was using a fountain aerator. The ProSkimmer System cleared this pond of watermeal in 10 days time.
