Maximize coverage across multiple sites daily
Clean where crews can't safely reach
The practical ROI for your operations
Cut Labour Costs Immediately
The WasteShark+ transforms what typically requires 2 groundskeepers with nets for 3+ hours into a single-operator, 45-minute task. You're not just eliminating tedious labour, you're freeing your facilities team to focus on high-priority repairs, preventative maintenance, HVAC systems, and infrastructure improvements that keep operations running smoothly.
Prevent Costly Water Quality Issues
Accumulated organic debris leads to algae blooms, odours, and expensive water treatment interventions. The WasteShark+ provides consistent removal of leaves, grass clippings, and surface waste before they decompose, protecting water quality and eliminating emergency remediation costs that can run into thousands.
Maintain Standards Consistently
Debris-covered ponds and algae-choked water features create maintenance headaches and reflect poorly on facility management. Manual cleanup is sporadic and weather-dependent. The WasteShark+ enables daily proactive maintenance, ensuring every water feature meets facility standards for everyday operations and special events, without disrupting site activities.

FAQs FOR PROPERTIES & FACILITIES
How does this compare to hiring a specialized pond maintenance contractor?
The ROI is clear. Specialist contractors typically charge $/€ 200-500 per visit per water feature. If you’re maintaining 3 ponds monthly, that’s $/€ 7,200-18,000 annually and you’re dependent on their schedule. The WasteShark+ delivers full payback within 2-3 years while giving you on-demand capability: clean before an event, after a storm, or any time standards slip. You control the schedule, quality, and can respond immediately to facility needs.
Why choose manual remote control for our property water features?
The WasteShark+ gives your team total control and visual confirmation. Properties have unique challenges like fountain intakes, shallow edges, decorative plantings, resident/student activity nearby. The HD video feed lets your operator target specific debris accumulations, navigate safely around landscape features, and respond immediately when a storm dumps leaves across your ponds. It’s precision maintenance that adapts to your property’s needs.
Can it handle seasonal debris like fall leaves or spring pollen?
Absolutely. This is where the WasteShark+ truly shines. The hot-swappable basket means during heavy leaf-fall or pollen season, your operator can continuously collect without downtime. One person can systematically clear multiple water features in a single morning—something impossible with manual nets and far more cost-effective than contracting specialized services.
Is it safe to use around occupants, visitors, and wildlife?
Completely. The WasteShark+ operates silently with zero emissions, making it ideal for active facilities environments. The real-time visual control means your operator maintains full awareness of surroundings—employees on lunch breaks, visitors near water features, nesting birds. You can pause, redirect, or withdraw instantly. It’s exponentially safer than staff wading in or using boats in occupied spaces.
What happens during winter or off-seasons?
The WasteShark+ stores easily and requires minimal off-season maintenance. Many properties in temperate climates operate year-round for wind-blown debris and winter waterfowl waste. In colder regions, simply store the unit indoors during freezes. The durable construction means it’s ready to deploy immediately when water features reopen in spring.
How much maintenance staff time will this actually save us?
You’ll see immediate labour savings. A typical water feature cleanup that currently ties up 2 staff members for 3+ hours with nets, boats, and disposal is reduced to 1 person for 45 minutes with the WasteShark+. That’s reclaiming 5+ labour hours per cleanup. Hours your facilities team can redirect to critical building maintenance, work orders, or infrastructure projects that can’t be deferred.
Will our groundskeeping and maintenance crews need special training?
Minimal training required. If your staff can operate a lawn mower, landscape equipment, or facilities maintenance tools, they’ll master the WasteShark+ in under 30 minutes. The intuitive remote control with HD video feed makes operation straightforward. Most facilities teams have their crews fully operational after a single demonstration session.
Can it work in shallow decorative ponds and retention basins?
Yes, the WasteShark+ is designed for diverse water environments. It operates effectively in shallow ornamental ponds (min 300mm/12″), deeper retention basins, and everything in between. The precise manual control allows navigation around fountain features, shallow edges, and planted areas that traditional equipment simply cannot reach.
How do we handle charging across a large campus with multiple water features?
The in-water charging system makes this simple. You can establish a “home dock” at a central water feature with power access, or rotate the unit across locations. With 8 hours of operation time, most properties complete all water features in a single deployment. For larger campuses, the SharkTrolley makes transport between features effortless, and you can charge overnight at any accessible water feature.
How does this fit into our preventative maintenance schedule?
Perfectly. The WasteShark+ integrates seamlessly into your existing PM program. Schedule regular water feature maintenance just like HVAC filter changes or landscape rotations. The predictable operation time makes it easy to plan, and the consistent cleaning prevents the emergency callouts that disrupt your maintenance calendar. It transforms water feature upkeep from a reactive headache into a controlled, scheduled task.
