Imagine...no more weeds in your swimming area   

It Can Happen!siitting on the dock

The Crary WeedRoller slowly rolls along the lake bottom, agitating the lake bed material. This agitation prevents lake bottom weeds from rooting down. Meaning, with routine use, these weeds are simply removed before they even appear.  weed roller killing weeds

If your plans for a weekend at the lake are tangled up in weeds, you need an environmentally friendly WeedRoller. You don't want to use hazardous chemicals in the lake to control weeds and other weed removal products such as rakes are troublesome and very labor intensive. Plus, who wants a big pile of wet, stinky weeds laying around the dock after removal? Not to mention the weeds will soon return. The WeedRoller not only does the job once, it continues to patrol the lake bottom for re-growth.

How does it work?

The WeedRoller moves in a slow, broad arc, pivoting more that 270 degrees. As its linked rollers rotate along the lake bottom, the WeedRoller detaches existing weeds and agitates the lake bed. This prevents more weed growth, for a clean, sandy lake bottom and a pleasant swimming area. The WeedRoller easily attaches to any dock. To fit your specific area, the WeedRoller has adjustable limit switches, which automatically stop and reverse its direction, at the point you desire.

The Power Converter converts 110 volts AC current to 28 volt AC. For Safety, it should be plugged into a ground fault interrupting circuit, and should remain on land and not over the water. The power converter comes standard with the 28 volt weedroller

What are the holes at the end of the tubes used for?
 

The rollers must fill with water. It is best to plug the holes after they have filled. Plastic plugs are provided to prevent the rollers from accumulating sand and mud inside. Start out with the last tube one half full of air for the first few revolutions to make sure it doesnt burrow down.
