Product Applications
Hot Water Weed Control
Hot water weeders deliver boiling water directly to the base of weeds, effectively killing both the plants and their root systems. This method not only targets young, fleshy weeds but also sanitizes the soil, reducing the chance of future growth. By rapidly heating the plant tissues and penetrating the soil, hot water weeders ensure thorough treatment, promoting healthier garden ecosystems.

The Eco Weedkiller Products use hot water to kill weeds. When a plant is exposed to temperatures of more than about 76 degrees, the chloroplasts (the cells in the leaf that carry out photosynthesis) will burst or congeal. By destroying these cells, the plant is unable to convert light into energy. It therefore starves the plant, which dies within 72 hours. You will usually start to see the effects of the heat treatment within a few minutes.
Eco Weedkiller offers new technology for weed control based on hot water. The water is heated via electricity and then kept warm in an insulated tank. The device will keep its warmth (more than 100 degrees Celsius) for at least eight hours after disconnecting the power. The device does not need to be connected to the electricity network or water supply during use. You can go wherever you wish.
The short answer is yes. But this is subjective. The Eco Weedkiller system is extremely efficient compared to other heat systems on the market which use a diesel generator to keep the water at the correct temperature.
The machine uses electricity to heat the water to the desired temperature and then keeps it hot using a specially insulated tank and keeping the water under pressure. This means there is no need to burn fuel all day to keep the water hot.
The electricity used to do the heating could be supplied from any source, including solar energy for example; which makes it possible for the product to be extremely environmentally friendly.
The output of the Eco Weedkiller is simply boiling water, which is very clean and safe fro the environment, and makes it safe to use in many areas where herbicides such as glyphosate are unsuitable or simply undesirable.
Further to this you can make this solution more environmentally friendly by following a Weed Prevention Strategy.
Eco Weedkiller uses hot water to kill plants. This method is suitable to use in a much wider variety of weather than many other systems.
The hot water is not affected by drift in the same way chemicals are, so the Eco Weedkiller can be used in moderately windy conditions, provided the water can be safely controlled.
The hot water is still effective at killing the plant in the rain however, it does rely on the hot water, so more water might be required in very cold weather.
This makes it a reliable tool for year - round use. Hot water can be used safely in most weathers.
The product uses water, which is delivered at over 100 degrees. Therefore, there is a risk of some types of material such as thin plastics etc deforming and a risk of scalding if the water comes into contact with someone's skin. A risk assessment should be conducted on all areas and all risks minimised or mitigated. These product have been used, without incident on many types of ancient and modern surfaces.
No, you do not need a licence to use hot water to kill weeds.
The Eco Weedkiller products are virtually silent in operation. There is no engine, so all you hear is the water funning onto the surface and a small hiss, indicating it is at the correct temperature (over 100 degrees Celsius).
There are versions with a 300 litre and 600 litre storage tanks as well as a small Garden version with a 25 litre water tank. Using water allows great penetration into the soil, allowing successful treatment of perennial plants with more established root systems in many situations. The rule of thumb is that 2–2.5 litres of hot water is needed per square metre in areas with 100% greenery coverage. This means that 300 litres of water is enough for 100–150 green square metres.
Notes. Prior to heat weed control solutions it is recommended all sites are cleared of detritus.
The trigger must be pulled in order to deliver the hot water. So the machine cannot use hot water accidentally. However, there is a filling mode, a heating mode and a working mode, which must be correctly selected so that the correct task can be carried out by the machine.
