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.

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.

AquaThruster 3/4 HP with dock mount.

Posted by Nancy S on 20th Apr 2021

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.

3/4 hp Aqua Thruster and 360

Posted by Dan M on 20th Apr 2021

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!

Best Thing Ever

Posted by Travis He on 15th Apr 2021

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.
