AquaThruster Quick Start Guide

Welcome to the AquaThruster family! We're delighted that you've chosen our solution for a cleaner, healthier waterfront. To assist you in maximizing the potential of your new AquaThruster, we've developed a succinct, step-by-step guide. This guide, based on our instructional video, will walk you through everything from understanding local regulations to initial setup, dealing with muck issues, motor positioning, oscillator settings, maintenance routines, and timer settings. Our goal is to provide the tools you need to effortlessly maintain your waterfront. If you have any questions or need further assistance, our dedicated customer service team is always available to help. Now, let's dive in and start your journey to a pristine waterfront. Enjoy the transformation that your waterfront is about to experience. Thank you for choosing AquaThruster!

Here's a step-by-step guide to setting up your AquaThruster based on the transcript from the video:

***Understand the Regulations: Before you begin, ensure you understand the regulations of your own state in regards to how the AquaThruster should be used.***

1. Initial Clean Out Phase:

Run the AquaThruster continuously for 1–3 days. For muck, position the motor 6–8 inches above the muck line.

2. Adjustment For Severe Muck Problems:

Lower the AquaThruster gradually as the muck level reduces. Avoid trying to move large chunks at once.

3. Positioning Your Motor:

Keep the motor nearly horizontal and slightly tipped up to direct water over the muck line, which breaks and lifts particles.

4. Setting the Oscillator:

Oscillator rotates 20° every 20 minutes up to 360°, then reverses direction and repeats the cycle.

5. Maintenance Phase:

Raise the motor to 12–13 inches above the bottom. Adjust cleaning frequency from 2 to 7 days a week based on conditions.

6. Setting the Timer:

Use the dual-outlet timer to automate motor and oscillator on preferred days/times. Plug directly into your power source.

7. Enjoy Your Clean Waterfront:

Use your AquaThruster regularly for long-term shoreline clarity. Contact support if help is needed.

Thank you again for choosing AquaThruster!

HORSEPOWER OPTIONS

Choosing the right size AquaThruster™ blower motor depends on what you're trying to accomplish, how large of an area you want to clear, and how much muck, sludge, weeds, leaves, and debris you have on the surface and bottom of your lakefront.

All models except the 2 hp models come with the clog-resistant Sure-Flo Technology Aquaticlear Cage. A masterpiece of engineering to prevent debris buildup.

If you have questions or would like assistance regarding horsepower options, give us a call, start a chat, or send us a message. Once we understand your shoreline and current situation, we'll be able to suggest the most effective options for you.

MOUNT OPTIONS

DOCK PLATE MOUNT

The Dock Plate Mount connects to both the top and side of your dock using bolts. It's a great choice if you don't need to move it often.

• Ideal for wood & aluminum docks and people who are able to drill holes in the decking and side of their dock.
• The AquaThruster can easily be removed from the mount for easy storage.
• Can be used with or without the 360 Oscillator

DOCK POST MOUNT

The Dock Post Mount attaches to any dock leg/post up to 4" OD. It can quickly be mounted and relocated to another dock post as needed which helps maximize coverage area.

• Easy to move from post to post as needed!

• Can be mounted anywhere above or below your docks surface.
• Fits square and round dock posts up to 4" wide.
• Can be used with or without the 360 Oscillator.

The HD Dock Post Mount is recommended for use with 1HP AquaThruster motors and is required for 2hp.

TRUSS DOCK MOUNT

The Truss Dock Mount is a "sandwich style" mount attaches to the side of any truss-style dock. It can be moved anywhere around your dock allowing you to manage more area effectively.

• Can be used with or without the 360 Oscillator.
• Easy to move from anywhere along the dock truss.
• Only compatible with truss docks.

360 BOTTOM FRAME MOUNT

The Portable Bottom Frame mount enables you to use your 360-degree oscillator without mounting it to a dock!

FREESTANDING FRAME MOUNT

This is a great option if you don't have a dock, you want to set up your AquaThruster away from your dock, or you're not planning on purchasing the 360 Oscillator. With this choice, you can cover more ground by simply moving it along the shoreline as needed.

This mount is not compatible with the 360 Oscillator.

Aqua Thruster

Posted by joseph pacelli on 13th Dec 2021

What an amazing product!!! High quality and powerful. Easy to set up and Charlie at Weeders Digest was extremely help. This was a long awaited Christmas present after years of raking and wheelbarrowing leaves and muck from our shoreline.

Should Have Bought this years ago!

Posted by Unknown on 14th Sep 2021

Within a day of set up - I could see the bottom of my lake! Don't think I had ever seen it before. Biggest thing will be to use it to remove the silt before the weeds begin to grow next spring. Overall an a great product.! We were so happy with our purchase we bought more mounting options to give us flexibility. Thank you !

Lake Life is fun again!

Posted by Steve K on 9th Sep 2021

After two years of struggling to improve our shoreline, spending thousands on sand, pellets, rakes, etc... to the point where I wasn't spending time with my kids and they weren't willing to swim in the weedy muck, I finally invested in the Aqua Thruster. After just a few weeks, our swimming area grew by 8x, and the bottom is firm and sandy. The kids no longer come out of the water covered in muck and creepy crawlers! The Aqua Thruster does what they say it will, and with a little manual labor, it can do even more! Being at the lake is fun again, and I now encourage my family and friends to get an Aqua Thruster. Definitely worth it.

Thruster, oscillator and bottom frame

Posted by Sharon on 2nd Sep 2021

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.
