Just saw this in one of my waste water magazines and thought I would post it here. I would be very very skeptical whether or not this would work. Also not sure of the cost as they offer to rent the contraption so it must be expensive. Anybody else heard of this?

I would be skeptical too. Ask for some studies that verify it's effectiveness. How much does it cost to rent?


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

If I remember correctly, Watergirl from Ohio was selling and had installed these. I haven't seen her post recently, maybe Bill Cody will comment.

Two years ago Jason at Inspired By Nature (pond mgmt Co.) tested a similar device. It turned out to be way "over sold" in their opinion.

I think, if we find one of these devices, or biological controls to work, the industry will know about it fairly quickly. We are a small, tight knit group. If something like this is a true "miracle" we all will know about it.
