Pond Rake and Weed Cutter special Value Pack. Watch the assembly video below.
This is your system for manual weed management to control those weeds over taking the pond. A pond left alone over the years will accumulate nutrients that make the food source for weeds and algae to grow along with the other two sources for growth are the water itself and of course sunlight.
At first we may have planted a few aquatic plants to help the pond and its creatures have a place to hide from predators even migrating waterfowl can move these plants from pond to pond. But overtime and left un managed these aquatic plants take over and transform into nuisance weeds.
Use the weed cutter to cut the weeds loose and follow up with the rake and float to remove from the water. Using the rake with out the float you will be able to rake out those algae masses as well. Here you find a special value pack when buying the rake and weed cutter at the same time. Regular price is 129.99 each
Once the weeds are cut and removed consider adding Pond Dye to reduce sunlight and regrowth of the weeds.
The video below helps to walk you thru the direction of assembling the Pond Rake and Weed Cutter.
In the video below we show how to use the Weed Cutter and Rake. At first I struggled with the weed cutter but after understanding the way to use it became less stressful to use as seen in the video. After some practice it will be much easier. The rake is very easy to use and works great, putting on the float makes easy work of any floating debris.

Cutting Cattails with the weed cuter can be done by starting at a corner, or outside edge. This way when you sweep the cutter left and right there is nothing in the way. Once you get into the cattails deeper and find the cutter bumping into cattails, start back outside at a corner and work back inward.
