We LOVE this thruster!! I tell people it’s the best money I ever spent. We’ve been raking out weeds for 50 years and now we have just a tiny bit. It’s wonderful - I get excited every time I look at the beach - no weeds and the water is clear. We bought the bottom frame because we wanted to be able to move it since we have a large frontage. It’s expensive but worth it. Our backs appreciate it - ha.

I have just started using the Aqua Thruster, it is a revelation, my lakefront has never been so clean and inviting...great buy !!!

Very happy with the results that we are having with the Aqua Thruster. We have seen a great amount of improvement in eliminating the lake weed away from the swim platform. We have had to check on the fan every day and clean the weeds from it and rake the weed debris from around the swim platform. We are loving getting in and swimming again without the weeds brushing up around our legs. I would highly recommend this product!

I should not have waited as long as I did to purchase the Aqua Thruster. It has totally transformed the area around my dock and lift. We have a swimmable beach again!

Great product. Worth its weight in gold.

Well Made! I initially ordered a 1 hp, but after talking with Carl, we decided go with the 1/2 hp, I have been running in 12 increments with the heavy duty timer, I used a Lake Rake to get some of stubborn weeds out, now the area by my dock looks lik

1 1/2 weeks in, working great...wondering if I should have gotten the 1 hp model...not because it's not working well, but it might carry the crud farther

This is an amazing tool that has solved a big problem for me. I live on a seepage lake and struggle dearly with lake levels when we don’t get much rain. Last summer I used a pressure washer to sink my boatlift as the level went down. It worked fine and I was able to use my boat all summer. The problem came when it was time to get the lift out in the Fall and not pretty. Now I can easily move muck/silt in no time. The only mistake I made was to not order the oscillator. I have now and will use it to maintain depth around my pier and boatlift.

I have the 3/4 hp Aqua Thruster 360. Amazing is all I can say. After only 2 revolutions the bottom went from 18” of water with muck 2-3 feet deep to being able to see sand and pebbles at least 30 feet in all directions. We’ve also gained over 2 feet of water depth. Waiting for warmer water to see how the bottom is to walk on, we’ve not been able to enter the water previously in the area by the dock. If your thinking about this product, just buy it, it works!

Work’s just like the you would like it to work. One of the best tools I’ve ever used. Cannot say enough. Thxs

This thing is amazing!!! We had at least 3ft or more of muck. I ran this for a month straight, along my shoreline going back and forth and in and out as far as the 50ft cable could go while using the Lake Bottom Frame. I now have sand!!! A few improvements would be great however. 1) adding to the oscillation a z-wave remote app to remote control from a smartphone or tablet. I am big into home automation and use SmartThings to remote manage a lot of things at my cottage 2) upgrade the timer to be Z-wave as well to remote control the on/off schedule. I bought a GoControl WO15EWZ5-1 GFCI smart outlet and ran power to my shoreline. I can now control the on/off schedule and remote turn it off/on remotely at will. The outlet is like $45. You do need a home automation hub like SmartThings. 3) add a top mount stabilization bar to the free stand with the 360 oscillation add on. I have the 1hp thruster and man that thing has torque. It twists the oscillation pole as it rotated on the free standing mounting pole. I made my own out of 1 1/2 galvanized pipe. You need two T’s that are 1 1/2, two reducers to 3/4, and one 8 inch long 3/4 pipe. Then by a tap set and drill one hole in each T and screw in a set screw so the rig stays in place. It cost a total of $25 with all the parts listed above.

Unlike many of the other reviews, we didn’t need algae blown away from the surface of our dock. We have, or I should say had, a serious “muck” problem. We live off an inlet to the Ohio river and sediment flows down nearby Kentucky hills and is deposited in from of our dock. Combined that with decaying leaves, tree branches and dead fish, we had a serious much problem. We purchased a *XYZ Muck Blower* about two years ago and after the second gasket leaked and blew the GFI we had had enough and started searching for a better product. We stumbled across the Aqua Thruster but was hung up on the $2500 cost (3/4 HP with 360 oscillator). We had paid less for the ^XYZ blower*. After about 5 months of going back and forth, we finally took a leap of faith and purchased the AquaThruster about 2 weeks ago. I can completely confirm that in that two weeks we have moved about 2-2.5 feet of muck from underneath our boat lift. This was just enough muck removed to get our new 30’ boat onto the lift just last night- which we were ecstatic about. If you are on the fence about this product, spend the money. I can confirm it does move muck and, while I’ve only had it two weeks, it seems to be a much built much better and a more reliable product than our previous experience.
