Installation & Use
Mount selection should be based on the construction of your dock or shoreline, the area you want to reach and how frequently you expect to reposition the Aqua Thruster.
Dock Plate, Post and Truss mounting systems allow the Aqua Thruster to be positioned from a dock, while the Bottom Frame provides a freestanding alternative for shoreline applications.
The Aqua Thruster and 360 Oscillator can be positioned to direct strong water movement toward areas affected by muck, floating vegetation, algae and debris. Adjust the unit carefully so water movement is directed through the intended area without creating unwanted erosion or interfering with nearby structures.
Important: Check applicable local laws, regulations and bylaws before operating equipment intended to move bottom sediment or aquatic material. Position the unit so it does not create a hazard or obstruct vessel traffic.
