What Is the Aquasweep?
The Scott Aquasweep is a powerful water mover designed to clear muck, silt, and weeds from around your dock or shoreline. It pushes up to 500 gallons per minute, creating a steady current that stirs up debris and moves it out of your swimming or boating area.
Unlike chemicals or rakes, the Aquasweep offers a mechanical solution to waterfront cleanup.
How Does It Work?
The Aquasweep mounts to a dock, post, or truss frame and operates using a heavy-duty motor. Once turned on, it creates a consistent, directed water current. This current:
- Breaks up muck and sediment
- Pushes weeds and debris away
- Keeps the bottom firm for swimming and boating
Many lake homeowners also use it in the winter as a de-icer, keeping ice from damaging docks or lifts.

Customer Experiences
Boaters in Wisconsin and Minnesota have reported dramatic improvements:
- “We went from knee-deep muck to a firm sandy bottom in just a few days.”
- “No more raking weeds all summer. I just run the Aquasweep every morning.”
- “Doubles as a de-icer, which saves me money on dock repairs.”
Is It Worth It?
The Aquasweep is an investment, but compared to the time and cost of chemical treatments or manual raking, many homeowners find it pays for itself quickly. If you want a clear, usable swim area without constant upkeep, it’s one of the best tools available.
Things to Consider
- Requires access to reliable shore power.
- Works best when angled slightly down toward the bottom.
- Won’t eliminate weeds permanently — but keeps areas clear with regular use.
