Electric Pond Stirrer: Kevin Says Effluent Pond Safety Is Paramount

Discover how Waikato dairy farmer Kevin Julian improved effluent pond safety and maintenance with Nevada’s Electric Pond Stirrer and PondBoom™ system.

The farm can irrigate the dairy effluent up to 30ha so far, and Kevin recently put in a big synthetic-lined 1 million litre pond (slightly bigger than they required), and decided to replace its pond equipment.

After consulting with Nevada, Kevin was happy to purchase a Nevada Electric Pond Stirrer (7 metre) and a Nevada PondBoom™ PB900 (9 metre).

A common requirement amongst many of Nevada’s clients is the need for ‘safety’ and ‘ease of maintenance’. Kevin was no exception to these two factors, with safety being the major issue. So when he was looking for pond effluent equipment he was impressed by how quick and easy the Nevada PondBoom™ was able to retrieve the floating pump (Kevin used his existing Yardmaster pump on his new Nevada PondBoom™), this made for easy servicing and safety as he didn’t require entering onto the pond.

The electric pond stirrer was also very safe and easy to maintain being shore mounted with a high performing propellor. Kevin is now able to easily maintain both pieces of equipment from the safety of the shore along with having high performance machinery.
