They didn’t know what to do.
Paul got a digger in to scoop the crusted effluent from the sides but that ended up being a waste of time. He knew he needed a stirrer so he rang a company in Canterbury but their stirrers were too expensive.
The matter was getting urgent when he came across a Nevada TurboStir™ on Trade-me. He lost the bid so rang Nevada directly to order. He chose a Nevada TurboStir™ 6000 because it was competitively priced.
Paul said that by this stage he didn’t hold much hope for the pond. ‘It was seriously crusted. I’m talking two and a half feet. You could walk on top of it and it held up’ There was so much crust, they dropped the Nevada TurboStir 6000 in and let it get to work, hoping for the best. The pond started rotating the crust and one by one, another foot would break off and get turned up by the Typhoon™ Propellor. Paul was thrilled with how it worked.
‘It was incredible, two hours later it was completely stirred up.’
The next day a smaller crust had formed overnight, so Paul ran the stirrer another two times over four days. That was all it took to get rid of the crust and turn the pond completely liquid.
Now if it ever happens again, they have the Nevada TurboStir 6000 on hand.
