JetStream Manual
A sincere, "Thank you!" for investing in an Admiral Lake and
Pond product. We very much appreciate the confidence that
you have placed in us by making this purchase.
Practically every User Manual ever written prefaces with, "Please read
through completely before using this product" and then proceeds to
thoroughly insult your intelligence. In contrast, the following is a quick read
that will offer truly useful tips and things you should know. We promise, no
20-page tutorial stating the obvious!
Uses for the JetStream
:
The JetStream is helpful in accomplishing a
variety of lake and pond-cleaning tasks. It can be used to push muck,
detritus, leaves and other undesirables from your shore bottom. It can be
used to flush out seasonal "floaties'' like duckweed and filamentous algae,
etc. and/or be used to freshen up areas plagued with stinky, stagnant water.
Furthermore, it also functions as an aerator when used near the surface.
This will help to increase oxygen levels, which in turn improves both water
clarity and quality, removes foul odors and mosquitos, and slows algae
growth, among other benefits. In the winter, the JetStream may even be
used as a de-icer to maintain open water in areas where it may be
beneficial. You should be aware that when used as a de-icer, there are
obvious safety concerns and as such, we recommend you do research on
the topic and/or consult with the DNR.
Using the Jet Stream:
Every shoreline is different, so the following
suggestions may need modifying per your individual situation and, as with
any piece of equipment, using your JetStream is the best way to master it.
Please read the following tips and instructions below to help you to use the
JetStream most effectively and efficiently.

- Page 2 The counter-flow factor: One of the more important nuances to learn about the JetStream is the inherent counter-flow that it creates. This is a scientific cause & effect whereby the water on either side of the main central flow will curl around and run in the opposite direction. The trick to combating this counterproductive effect is to rotate the JetStream in small increments (moving along the below-mentioned, “V”...

Unless you are planning on farming your lake or pond bottom (which we can't imagine you are), you can avoid making trenches by doing two things: Not placing the JetStream too close to the bottom and/or slightly tilting the unit up, away from the bottom. - Page 5 JetStream atop the stake). Otherwise, you may drive the stake into bottom sediment by grasping either end of the unit with both hands and then use your weight to drive the stake in.
- Page 6 Aeration: One of the JetStream’s best features is that it can be used to clear debris of all kinds and aerate at the same time. If aeration is your main goal (or part of your goal), the higher the JetStream is pointed upwards and the closer to the surface, the better.
- Page 7 (keeping in mind vertical limits due to cavitation and trenching on the high and low ends, respectively). In most cases, we recommend you to angle the JetStream slightly upwards at an angle of up to 110 degrees towards the problem areas. This will push weeds in the desired direction and keep them suspended in the water column long enough to move them far away.
