Sound familiar?

The duckweed always comes back.

Every fix you’ve tried costs money, weekends, or the health of the water itself.

The rake never wins

A handful at a time while the rest drifts back in. By next weekend the surface has closed over again.

Chemicals are a treadmill

Algaecides need buying and re-buying, and every dose is a gamble with your fish and everything else living in the water.

Crews bill by the visit

Season after season, invoice after invoice, for a job one person can finish before the coffee goes cold.

See the Results, Drag the Deskuzzer Yourself

Duckweed and algae removal made easy.

Same shoreline, about fifteen minutes apart.

After Using The Deskuzzer

Ordinary pond nets push floating weeds underwater and miss half of them. The DeSkuzzer’s raised floats hold the leading edge above the waterline, so duckweed and algae flow into the collection screen instead of slipping beneath it, more cleared with every pull.

One person, start to finish

Clear your pond in three moves.

No boat required. No assembly beyond a snap. Nothing added to the water.

1Toss And Float It

Toss the 54-inch DeSkuzzer, let it set upright on the surface. Sealed buoys hold the leading edge right at the waterline, where the debris lives.

2Pull It Across

No dragging out a kayak or hiring help. Toss it past the debris with the 24-foot rope and draw it back from shore or boat; the wide net gathers everything floating in its path.

3Empty And Repeat

Tip upside down to empty the Skuzz and go again. Small ponds may be cleared to open water in about 15 minutes.

Built like marine hardware

Marine-grade materials, by the numbers.

Hand-assembled in a U.S. workshop from materials chosen to outlast the pond, not the season.

They copied the shape. They couldn’t copy the rest.

The DeSkuzzer™ story started with a patented invention. The original DeSkuzzer™ (U.S. Patent No. 7603836) was designed to collect the aquatic debris that floats and grows on the surface of ponds, lakes, and waterfronts, the “Skuzz” that gets in the way of the beauty and enjoyment of your water. Made to be used by one person, with or without a boat, it clears about 400 square feet of surface debris in roughly 15 minutes, which made it a favorite of swim clubs, beaches, and lakefront property owners.

We didn’t stop there. After years on the water and a series of real-world improvements, that original design has evolved into the DeSkuzzer™ 3.0. The 3.0 is built on an all-aluminum 3/4″ square-tubing frame that’s easier than ever to put together. The same simple, one-person, chemical-free approach the DeSkuzzer has always been known for, now stronger, simpler, and better built. See the images below.

Good questions

Lake & Pond Skimmer Questions, Answered.

Do I need a boat, or can I use it from shore?

Either works. Most owners walk it along the shoreline with the 24-foot rope. On bigger water, tow it behind a rowboat or push it ahead of a power boat.

Know your weed before you order: the DeSkuzzer is built for floating debris like duckweed, string algae, leaves and surface scum. Watermeal on its own is too fine for the netting, though mixed with duckweed it collects along for the ride.

It arrives folded in half with the net, buoys and rope attached. Push the frame together until the snaps click and it is ready for the water. It folds flat again for winter storage.

Up to about a 50-pound load per pass. Lighter, more frequent passes keep the surface clear with the least effort.

Unused units are covered under our return policy. Once a unit has been in the water it can’t be returned, because moving equipment between waterbodies risks cross-contaminating lakes and ponds.

Yes the Deskuzzer has a distributor in Canada that ships country-wide.  Canadianpond.ca is the exclusive Canadian provider of the Deskuzzer.

Skip the rake. Skip the chemicals.

Your pond is one pass from clear.
