10 Most Frequently Asked Questions

Do they really work?
Absolutely, and best of all with no cutting, raking, hauling, or outrageous cost of other removal systems. They are also friendly to the ecosystem of the lake.

Are they easy to move?
Basic large mats weigh 90 lbs. Once it's at the shoreline a normal person can unroll, then float the mat across the water to desired spot and place it at the bottom.

What maintenance do you do at the end of the year?
Nothing is required. If you do decide to take the mat out of the lake for the off season, simply clean off the mat by rotating the mat in the water. Then you roll up the mat and store outside or inside.

Will they float away?
No, but watch out for the lake harvesters, they may come in contact with them.

Can you swim or walk on them?
Certainly,the mat is 100% safe; some people even do water aerobics on them.

Can you leave them in the water over the winter?
Yes, just as long as the mat is out deep enough in the water that the ice will not come in contact with it. The ice can damage or move the mat.

Can I downsize the mat if I need the mat to fit between docks?
Yes, just go between the centers of the attached weight system and cut, make sure to burn the edges with a butane torch to reseal the raw edges.

Will they work for ponds as well?
Yes, 10% of sales is for ponds and tough pond edges that you can't mow or control.

Is there a top and bottom to the mat?
No, either side up is OK. When moving a mat follow these steps - take hold of one end with two hands, walk the mat back over itself, as you do this the water forces the mats to the top for easier moving while cleaning the mat off at the same time.

After a two week placement of the mat will weeds return that season?
Normally not, but it depends on when the mat was placed. If the mat was placed at the early part of the season (before sprouting), then you may have to move it back.
