Blagdon Blanket Weed Controller -
an electronic device designed for fast-acting
control of blanket weed in ponds of up to 23,000 litres.
The device has a unique microprocessor which emits varying radio frequencies
through antennae cables provided*. This disrupts calcium ions in the water and
causes blanket weed cells to break up. *As
shown in the photo, the cable is simply wrapped around the hose between your pump
and filter.
It is important to have correct water conditions: nitrates and nitrites must
be as low as possible, and pH should be between 7 and 8. Use Pond Water test
kits to check these levels. After installing the Blagdon Blanket Weed
Controller, there will be a delay of up to three weeks until you see existing
blanket weed break up. It is advised to remove as much as possible of this existing blanket
weed by hand to prevent clogging of filters as the weed breaks up. Within 21 days
you will notice a reduction in new blanket weed formation, and lower levels of
lime scale deposits on the quartz sleeve of a Ultraviolet Clarifier.
Installation.. Although
weatherproof, the unit must not be submerged. Provide shelter from jets of water
such as leaking gutters, hose pipes etc. The antenna that wraps around the hose
should be fitted between the pump and your UV-C, if there is not a UV-C in your
pond system then install it between the pump and filter.
