Blanket Weed Controllers - Don't let blanket weed strangle your pond

There are a number of products available to help control blanket weed growth. These include chemical solutions, and electronic devices. Some of the chemical solutions can harm your pond life so should be treated with caution. Some of the electronic blanket weed controllers available can be particularly effective and once fitted, can be left to work effectly for along time without having to replace or repair it. Blanket weed should never be removed by hand, as dragging the weed can release many spores into the water, which will actually increase growth.

There are different blanket weed controllers available to suit different needs. I have chosen 2 particularly effective devices which I include below:

- Blanket Weed Controller: EL-WW-ECO
This device can be fitted easily around your pipe and treats your water supply as it flows around the circuit. It creates a magnetic field within the water that inhibits the formation of calcium. This, in turn, destabilises the growth of the blanket weed. This device is recommended for ponds containing up to 5000 gallons of water.

- Blanket Weed Controller: EL-WW-ECO +
This device consists of 2 antennas which can be fitted easily around your pipe and treats your water supply as it flows around the circuit. It creates a magnetic field within the water that inhibits the formation of calcium. This, in turn, destabilises the growth of the blanket weed. This device is recommended for ponds containing up to 10000 gallons of water.
