Eco Weedkiller

Easy weed control with 100°C water

EWK Garden 2kw

Eco Weedkiller Garden is the world’s first weed control device with 100°C water, which has been especially designed for easy and safe individual use. If you are tired of fighting weeds with manual labor, or do not want to burden your garden with poisons, this is the perfect match for you.

Treat the weeds you want to get rid of with 100°C water. After the treatment, the plants will be completely dead in 1-2 weeks, and can be easily removed e.g. with brushing. Otherwise, you can wait for the fallen vegetation to be returned to the natural cycle with the wind.

The Eco Weedkiller Garden hot water device is based on the exact same principle as the professional models, i.e. 100°C water. The device itself is very simple to operate – you just fill it with water up to the cap. You can use cold or hot tap water, or, for example, solar-heated rainwater. The most ecological option is to use solar preheated water, which rises to 30-40°C in a black container on a sunny day.

Eco Weedkiller Garden heats up 25 liters of water at a time, which can handle about 8 to 10 square meters of a grassy area. The water in the appliance is heated by mains power, and when the water is over 100°C the device is ready to use. The device is then disconnected from the mains power supply, and taken to the work area. Hot water is directed at the weeds at close range with a noozle, and the job is done. You will know that the water is 100°C by the sizzling sound it makes. When all water has been used, the treatment handle is held down until all pressure has been released from the device. The device can then be refilled with water again. The next treatment can be done after 20-60 minutes, depending on the initial temperature of the water used.

There are clear signs of proper treatment: clearly wilting plants, the smell of “boiled plants”, and soil left in steam. With these simple sensory observations, you can achieve professional herbicide control in your yard and garden.

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 300 litres of water is enough for 100–150 green square metres.

The water in Pro SP products has two purposes: to transmit heat to the plans 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 eight 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!

The main components of the device are a diesel engine, a high-pressure pump, a water heater, a water tank, and hose reels. The components have been selected based on high quality to ensure reliability and long lifespan – not solely on price. As a result, the carbon footprint of the device is the smallest possible. The device is operated on diesel fuel, and we feel confident in bio-diesel options to further cut the emissions. The operating efficiency of the water heater is extremely high, and the engine by Kubota fulfills the tightest emissions requirements. The availability of spare parts and maintenance is ensured by the use of well known, high-quality brand components.

The equipment may be transported in most vans and trailers fitted with a braking system. Alternatively, Eco Weedkiller Pro may be fitted with a quick-connect fitting, available in the most commonly used types. The equipment has a standard 400-liter water tank. Depending on the load-bearing capacity of the transport vehicle, extra water tanks may be added as an option. Additionally, the inlet hose may be attached to the water mains at a site to fill the water tank. The fuel tank holds enough fuel to last a minimum of one 8 to 10-hour work shift. The Eco Weedkiller Pro standard pressure water hose reel holds 80 meters of hose, which allows you to treat an area of more than half a hectare at one time. The cost-efficiency may be improved by planning the work and the water logistics at the property in advance.
