Product Overview
Eco Weedkiller offers new technology for weed control based on hot water. In accordance with our values, we develop our devices based on the principle of simplicity. A simple device is reliable and also affordable when compared to technology based on the traditional “pressure washers”. The Pro SP series is based on dose heating, and it is intended for treating several small surface areas. Pro SP is a fantastic addition to comprehensive garden maintenance. It can be used in residential gardens, in special park sites and on traffic divider areas, for example. The rule of thumb is that 2–2.5 litres of hot water is needed per square metre in areas with 100% greenery coverage. This means that 150 litres of water is enough for 50 - 75 green square metres.
The water in Pro SP products has two purposes: to transmit heat to the plants to be removed and to STORE energy. Water is an affordable “battery” compared to traditional electric batteries. The heating is done with electricity, but you can flexibly choose the method used for generating the energy needed, which helps decrease environmental impact. The device can be connected directly to solar panels, for example. Customer feedback has shown us that people want to use their existing heat sources to warm up the water. Pro SP series can flexibly utilise preheated water at temperatures 5–80 degrees Celsius. The traditional devices based on diesel-run heaters cannot offer the same advantage. Pro SP device allows performing an unlimited number of very short treatments while keeping the temperature of the water even. The device will keep its warmth for at least 5 hours after disconnecting the power. The device does not need to be connected to electricity network or water supply during use. You can go wherever you wish.
Pro SP is nearly silent in operation, only the hiss of the nozzle lets the user know that the water is hot enough for weed control. Pro SP is an excellent choice for sites where noise could be disruptive: now you can enjoy your early summer mornings in silence!
